After yesterday’s fiasco with the infamous RELOADED group cracking Spore before it even came out in the US, it turns out they’ve already cracked Mercenaries 2. Currently, over 3500 people are currently leaching and seeding the game, compared to the 10,000 that were downloading Spore yesterday. Today, Spore has over 30,000 people downloading and sharing the game, up 20,000 people from yesterday.
Although I’m a fan of trying before buying, events like these may further the controversy on PC gaming and piracy.. but hey.. at least they waited until Mercenaries 2 was released, right?

Ha, no you’re incorrect. Mercs 2 was up on the net for the 360 more than a week before it’s release. This RELOADED group thinks they’re amazing, but there are other groups out there who don’t advertise, and get games up on the net sooner. These guys are just amatuers.

You obviously don’t know about RELOADED then. They are one of the oldest scene groups and have topped gaming scene charts for several years. They don’t advertise their releases in fact they hate publicity (any scene group does).
Releases are advertised by the internet community once they are leaked out of scene topsites, not by the groups themselves.

Well, I think I’d be more angry if spore wasnt EA & mercs 2 didn’t have such a stupid fucking advertisement. “Oh no you didn’t”…
Fuck offline games, but also fuck the pirates, they aren’t helping PC vs. console, although tons of games have been pirated for xbox 360/PS3 too, don’t forget that.

Yeah, right. Like a 360 version gets “cracked” or something. RELOADED actually cracks the game, which is thougher then just getting a game and rip it smartass (360/ps3). And they don’t advertise, but they only do PC games, and since PC games are more pirated than 360/ps3 games (way more downloads everywhere), people write about them. Doh.
