Gears of War 3 hit the web in one of the biggest leaks in the gaming
world this year. The blockbuster franchise which is set to release it's
third installement found it's way to modified Xbox 360 consoles, the
consequently wiggled it's way onto YouTube and other streaming video
sites. The flood gates have been opened as far as Gears of War 3
information goes, but Epic is working to try and contain the leak, or at
least punish those that are responsible for it.
Dana Cowley of Epic Games released a statement on the matter.
"We have seen the reports of Gears of War 3 content being propped on the
web and working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to
address the situation. This content is not from a final build and is
not representative of what fans will enjoy when the game launches
worldwide on Septemeber 20, 2011."
Epic is also working to have the content removed from multiple torrent
sites which are hosting the game for download, but as these things go,
it will be hard to contain the content now that it has hit the web. The
good part about the leak is that only a small minority of users that
have modified Xbox 360's can play the content. The bad part is, it only
takes one person to release the spoilers that can ruin the game for
fans of the franchise.
