news update: Demigod leaked, and some awesome mastercracker cracked the copy protection.

It guess "retailer releases game too early" or "publisher releases game without copy protection" was not sensational enough for a headline, so 'filenetwork' came up with this one.

Wow, must have taken a lot of work to crack even pretend copy protecion. Seriously. I never saw it coming.

 

Seriously. Skilled bunch of pirates out there. Those copy and pastes are a harsh mistress

In Russia people playing offline on Demigod release about 2 days (from saturday).

There is no copy protection, but there is no interest to play offline, so we waiting for licensed key, preorder the game. The whole interest in Online gameplay.  

In my opinion - this game is the best game ever published So i cant wait for official russian release (in a week for 15$) and preorder it here.

Yeah, multiplayer game. I would consider a single player game nothing more than a demo.

And no patches, no free new Demigods. Did anyone who got it from Gamestop have to update first? I don't even know if the day0 patch was on the disk or not

Clearly copying an image of a gamestop-bought disc is an epic leak and a huge achievement in cracking.... oh wait...

Good, keep kicking them until they realize how dumb it is to pirate games before they are actually released.

Awesome. 

 

This "crack" must not be very wide spread.  I haven't been able to find a seed of it at all.   The few who do pop up with it will make great entertainment

Sad really. This is why I love games with online play. You have to buy them for the main content. Quite excited for my key, won't lie.

There is some poetic justice - pirates won't get the 0 day update which has not just the new online features (including LAN) but also day 0 has all those balance changes the beta testers requested. It plays significantly differently now (for the better).

The game has been released today and the pirate version is already obsolete.

Pretty Enginious
