It can’t be a good day for EA, maybe someone opened an umbrella inside, as The Sims 3 has leaked over three weeks before it’s retail release. This follows on from the news that Rock Band Unplugged for the piracy rampant PSP leaked nearly a month before release.
It begs the question what can EA and other publishers do to stop this trend of early leaks? Whatever they do people will always find a way to get their hands on this stuff before they are meant to. Either way bad times for a rapidly threatening problem for the industry.
The Sims 3 is set for release on the 5th of June over here in Europe and includes many game changing features to this casual life simulator. For more information check out our preview from March of last year.

EA doesn’t need to do much, actually. It’s an online community-oriented game much like Spore, so trying to pirate it is like steal oil lamps but not oil.

HAH! Normally I’d feel sorry for EA, but serves them right for delaying it by 4 months! I wouldn’t download it right now, mainly cause I have exams and its just a distraction, but if I was free I’d definitely download it!

People are calling this another win for the pirates in the battle over software. While I may side with the pirates, I’m still going to call it a loss. If game developers continue to lose money because their games are stolen, they’ll stop making games. If that happens…we all lose.
Download it if you must, buy it if you can. I plan on doing both. XD
