Games leak onto the internet all the time. Usually a week or two before they hit retail, though, and usually the finished product. Leaking months before release, though, thatâs a little rarer.
Yet a playable build of Gears of War 3 hit torrent sites late last week, representing an early look at the gameâs singleplayer campaign from a build of the project thatâs not even complete yet.
âWe have seen the reports of Gears of War 3 content being propped on the Web and working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation,â Microsoft told IGN
âThis content is not from a final build and is not representative of what fans will enjoy when the game launches.â
While some other titles have popped up a little early in recent yearsâa preview build of early Deus Ex levels, an early release of Halo: Reachâitâs not often you get leaked code from a game before itâs been pressed onto a disc. No wonder the cops are involved.
