Resident Evil 5, Capcom's upcoming multi-platform survival horror title, has been leaked online by a piracy group known as KFC, according to Xbox Insider and GamesIndustry.biz.
For shame: Resident Evil 5 leaked online?
While certainly not the first leak of a highly anticipated video game, online pirates and torrent sites continue to negatively affect the sales of high-profile titles. Software leaks are one of the main reasons that some developers have turned to DRM (digital rights management) tactics to protect their products. Companies like EA have adopted DRM tactics in the past while still selling millions on their titles, while other companies like Nintendo try to kill the problem at the source.
GamePro does not support or condone piracy for any medium, including video games.
The title isn't officially available in Europe and the US until March 13, but a cracked Xbox 360 version of the game, weighing in at 6.71GB, is already being downloaded by users.
Like the majority of games publishers, Capcom has faced the headache of piracy in the past. Last year, the company complained that sales of the PC version of Devil May Cry 4 were hit hard by severe piracy.
Resident Evil 5 is likely to be one of the biggest games of the year, and was recently voted the most anticipated title by the GamesIndustry.biz Network.
