This is why PC can't have nice things. F*cking pirates... And everyone who downloads this free version is going to brag to their friends about getting it early, making pirating seem that much more "awesome".
I don't see why they should stop developing on PC because of this. Apparently, Crysis was pirated to death, still didn't stop Crytek expanding and adding more studios to its name.

This time around it's a good thing they developed for consoles, so at the very minimum they can track a pirated copy, if pirated. Rather than that the impossible of…
