Early today, reports came in from Germany revealing that police had raided the offices of Bavarian-based developer Crytek. Apparently, a former employee told police that the studio was using unlicensed software on their upcoming PC shooter Far Cry. Some of the wilder reports indicated that a special antipiracy squad searched Crytek offices and seized numerous pirated copies of Maya and 3D Studio Max before hauling away several employees.

Wonder if Far Cry ends up like Duke Nukem Forever?
The article states that it will be released on schedule though.

    in a later news story, I read that they were cleared of the charges, that it was just a disgruntled ex-intern that brought the heat down on them. btw, this is like a week old, i don't know why gamespot is just finding out about it.

    edit: actually, gamespot didn't post it today, look at the bottom

    Well, it was news to me. :)
    I hadn't heard about it before I read the article today.
    Clear of all charges or not, it could delay the release of Far Cry.
    And I believe we have enough delays already. ;)
