Crytek: People want to play, but won't buy, our games

Crysis series developer, Crytek, hopes to address the disheartening piracy figures attached to some of its biggest games.

That's according to the company's senior creative director, Rasmus Højengaard, who sarcastically quipped that it was "unfortunate" that developers didn't win an award for most pirated game.

"I can’t say," said Mr Højengaard when asked if the developer would do anything differently in the future to stem pirating of its games. "But yeah, obviously it’s something we’d like to address."

While "people apparently really want to play our games", proclaimed Mr Højengaard, "they just don’t wanna buy them."

Crysis 2 was the most pirated game of 2011, according to a list compiled by file sharing website, Torrent Freak.

Probably because Crytek likes DRM and has no respect for PC gamers.

"people apparently really want to play our games", proclaimed Mr Højengaard, "they just don’t wanna buy them."


So he is branding everyone that plays it as a pirate?
The fact that they are still making a pc version shows that it sells quite well..
No, it's that everyone wants to see if their computer can "run Crysis"... it's like downloading a free benchmark, except it lasts a couple hours and is fully interactive. =D
Pretty funny how they have changed there stance on blocking used game saying they don't support it.
