I hope OEM feels the sting. Other than leaks from internal QA departments, most games are pirated weeks before release because of leaks at the manufacturer. Simple security procedures could prevent this from happening, and it costs our industry tens of millions in revenue per year.

I've never seen such a noticable impact from piracy until the most recent years. And the worse thing is, they have all these measures to try and prevent it and companies like this go ahead and mess that up. Human will power to stop themselves from taking the leaked games is never going to happen. Its the people that are creating these accessible files that are the ones that need to stop.

I guess this is why some games, such as BioShock, are choosing to leave the games main executable file off the discs (and only putting it up for download on the actual release date).
