Witcher 3 leaked in United Arab Emirates??

[Phalzyr]

Without reading 18+ pages worth of this thread - why wouldn't a simple date lock be put into place on these console retail copies?
How difficult is it to have a day 1 patch that unlocks the game for play?

because they are console versions with no internet connection required to play...

I guess you weren't here when CDPR were getting hammered by a few users for requiring the unlock patch on retail PC copies.

 

[MikeP999]

Oh, ok - that'll do it.

 

[Luxorek]

Aaaaand done.

 

[Zabanzo]

Twitchs banhammer is swinging hard

 

[Doctalen]

what you said is true. however, this can still limit the usage/sellings of the game before the release. furthermore, most people who can afford consoles there tend to afford having an internet connection, at least from what i've saw. also, it's completely possible to do it as a sort of a background update (i.e. not noticed by the user) and wouldn't weigh much. and bam ! no TW3 until 19th may and not allow any console user from playing the game before that date.

Obviously these guys have internet because they're streaming it. The question is if their consoles are connected to the PSN/Xbox networks. They could be using a third party capture device

Btw I am throwing money at my screen but this sentence is not disappearing...

 

[CoconutChriss]

Final stream down... for now.

Indeed... and the next one is down.

Still, the "leak" happened... even if the streaming can be banned, the game is out there... spoilers, videos, etc.

 

[azrael.1289]

well it's in the twitch tos that you can't stream a prerelease game unless you have explicit permission and technically the witcher 3 wasn't released yet. the store has no permission to sell it.

I was asking why he/she should be ashamed.

 

[GZulu]

Wow, people are all over the game over at twitch. reporting and all that...

 

[Luxorek]

Oh, no wait. There is still one more left - Maskedgamercallv2.

 

[eisberg77]

In retaliation CD Project should just release the game now. =D

 

[Tzirael]

More will just keep popping up ya know. The game is being sold there, in other words anyone can get a copy and stream it or spoil stuff.

 

[Garrison72]

That thought crossed my mind... meh, improbable.

The Neil Giaman effect.

 

[web-head91]

Oh, no wait. There is still one more left - Maskedgamercallv2.

wow he literally made a new account. what an a** !

 

[Ljesnjanin]

Maskedgamercallv2.

He was banned several times already....Persistant gamer, I admit

 

[Luxorek]

Dude is wondering out loud why he keeps getting banned

 

[OldRedw]

They will not be able to finish the prologue, ban wave will win.:cheers:

Seriously, wouldn't be that surprising, this has been done a couple times recently.
