im seeing hundreds of PC users saying they already played a beat the new dragon age inquistion -_- the game isn't offically out yet

how did u do this hermits explain to us

your pirates thats how u leech games and u dont pay for them

this happened with call of duty as well

u should be like grand theft auto which does a pc release way later so the pirates can't get to them games till way later on in the life cycles

this is sick whats happening stop releasing games for pc on time so many ppl now play6ed the game for free alrdy an now wont buy ur game and there all pc gamers mainly

i dunno what else to say ppl reviewing the game alrdy and ppl saying they beat an guides an stuff alrdy out from ppl who weren't professional reviewers they just happen have the game early i dunno how

stop giving ppl free games bioware and activison start going to console first give awhile an than maybe cash in later on pc after the pirates won't wait they will have to buy a console if they dont like waiting years for good games

And this affects you how?

Don't make those of us who actually pay for PC games wait because of pirates.

Pretty sure every recent major release has been leaked online for 360 and PS3, in some cases before PC

no dude that would require a lot more work you would have to have a modded console and you would need to burn a disc that alone would take hours compared to just installing a program an putting in a crack for it

ones super easier the one other ones is super long tedious an requires buying a console and a mod to do

The Pirated PS3/XBOX360 version has been leaked and playable for days now.

Meanwhile, The Pirated PC version hasn't even been cracked and is not playable at all. (Denuvo DRM, yet to be cracked in Fifa15 and LordsofFallen)

Fucking idiot liar...

Don't know , don't care . Bioware guys optimize the game very well for PC and said version gets its own User Interface for mouse and keyboard . Don't care if they're hyping up console versions by giving review copy of console versions . At the end of the day , what I play myself matters the most.

And yet still happens. Actually it's my understanding that in a number of nations you can buy already modded consoles

Console games are leaked weeks early.

Earlier than any PC game.

Explain that.

Because if they don't then the PC community will flame Bioware games to the point they won't be lucrative on consoles either. Given their roots lie in PC gaming I think gamers would feel a great deal of betrayal regardless for reasons to refuse to publish on PC if that ever came to be.

Just to double check, I took a quick look around YouTube and nope...no PC Inquisition footage yet that isn't from a legit journalism outfit. Normally that is one of the first indications that a game has been leaked early and is playable.

Console pirates are just as bad, and in some cases worse than PC pirates.

Just shut your trap and stop trying to scapegoat piracy onto a particular group of gamers. Piracy wouldn't be a problem if developers made games people actually wanted to spend their hard-earned money on.

I agree with Valve's old statement that it's much more of a service issue than anything. Regional restrictions, price gouging, and poor user-friendliness are pretty rampant in gaming.

At least hermits respect release dates and don't leak every single content of the game 2 weeks before release like console gamers do

God damn are you a dumbass. The game isn't even cracked. It's using that Denuvo DRM, which still has yet to be cracked on any game using it (believe FIFA 14 was the first).

by the way... the people who are beating the game on PC before release? they got review copies, because it's kind of their job to play and beat the game before release to make you know... a review...

TC is a complete idiot. - EA Access: "If you’re an EA Access member, you can download upcoming EA games before the release date to try for a limited time."

All ProtossX has proven is that consoles are a bigger bane on the gaming industry concerning piracy.

Hermits care to explain?

You scurvy scoundrels, stay away from my booty.

Call of Duty was a victim of these acts.

It should be done like GTA V. Where it's released months later.

This is sick, what is happening? Stop releasing games for pc at launch. They've already play6ed the game, what would entice them in buying them?

People are already reviewing the game, they aren't even professional reviewers?!?!?

Bioware and Activision, please here my eloquent plea to stop distributing games to people. Pirates will continue to crack them until you just stop releasing games! Please, release to consoles only and perhaps later on release to PC, so you can get much more monies and sales from PC gamers not wanting to wait!

Still utter nonsense... even when I did a quick revise to prevent further brain loss from potential readers.
