Epic Games announced they have a special banning system set in place for those who have been leaking footage of the single player campaign on Youtube and other video sites. The banning tool is rumored to be strong enough to make all modes of the game unplayable and is also being tested for use against pirated copies.
Epic Games has been upset at both the large amount of footage leaked that has spoiled most of the single player campaign and the extra work needed from Microsoft who wanted parts of the game redone as a result.
Quote:
"We have a banning system built into our stuff so we can go in and identify certain people. Some people aren't smart about what they do. They'll be disappointed on 20th September when they can't get in and can't play. They may be banned."
Fergusson also said that the leaked version isn't a fair representation of the final version's polish and he also had special message to those who've pirated the game.
"If you don't value this community, you don't value this experience, then we don't value you. I'd rather pick that one bad apple out of the pool so everybody else can have a better time."
