In early February, we have reported that the German game studio Crytek (Far Cry deveoper) was raided by the German police regarding the use of pirated software. They found illegal software worth more then 100000 Euro at that time.

A few German online magazine have reported that Crytek was raided last Friday again and guess what Crytek continued to use pirated software.
Currently, there are no comments from Crytek but the software piracy alliance BSA did say that there will be serious consequences this time.

This is pretty stupid.  Pirating software is bad enough but when pirated software is used to make money there should be severe coincequences.

I like the whole an eye for an eye, and ear for an ear thing. Just take the software they devoloped and put it up for open source and everything as well as make them pay a hefty fine and put them in jail for awhile.

this is very old news. Like before the realse of the game.+
