Gangs of London leak confirmed

How can you take anyone seriously who speaks of the link between counterfiting and organised crime when they are promoting and selling a game called ''Gangs of London''

Well somebody from the so-called SONY leaked this onto the net so maybe they should be looking into some staff changes...

or maybe a person called sony working for sony released it to enable a nice crackdown on the homebrew scene as they havnt really had any major provoction from the homebrewers why they so up set.....although this proves the updates firmware needed for games is rubbish when it does finally come out cus it evidently does work on existing firmware.
oh yeah just like to say if its a beta version the should just think of it as a demo released if its not complete what odds does it make to them ohhh well let them have a bitch fit they cant force me to upgrade personally i think playin zelda on the snes emulator is alot better than most of the new games they have released

Yeah, I am thinking the same. First the UMD tools leak, which was an inside job and now this? Sony may definately be up to something...

Any homebrew site stupid enough to host these files deserve to be shut down anyway. But we may want to watch our backs too, in case any flak comes this way.

Maybe they are just preparing themselves for a HUGE loss of profits when the game fails. It could well be that they know already that the game is going to suck, and this way they'll be able to blame the low sales on game piracy instead of competent game design.

Alternatively, this could all be viral marketing ploy. They could have released this beta on purpose to get people to play the game and spread the word around about how good it is. After all, the reason DOOM2 sold so big was because people had pirated DOOM1 so much, and so many people knew how cool it was, that everybody rushed out to buy the new version as soon as it was available.

Or maybe the Mob is really behind it! I bet they planted radio transmitters in the teeth of the beta testers, so they could mind-control them into releasing the game as part of a bid for WORLD DOMINATION! MU-AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Soooooo let me get this straight, according to this guy:

1.) BitTorrent has connections to organised crime.

2.) This game glorifies, promotes, and encourages organised crime.

???????????????????????????????????????

all this talk will cover them (sony) when it never sells on the shelves.
