With exactly one month left until its official release, Gears of War: Judgment has managed to find its way onto torrent websites.
A Microsoft Rep confirmed to CVG that they are well aware of the situation and are working with their own security teams, as well as law enforcement, in an attempt to get things under control.
“Consumers should be aware that piracy is illegal and we take vigorous action against illegal activity related to our products and services. Playing pirated copies of games, such as Gears of War: Judgment, is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use and will result in enforcement action, such as account and console bans.”
Meanwhile, various retailers like Walmart and GameStop are taking pre-orders and offering bonus items. They’re legal, we swear.
