Booo piracy. Make games that people want to pay for.

  I think this is a situation where people wanted to pay for the game, just not for the upgrades to play the game well.
  
  I mean, sure, the game scales, but playing Crysis with shitty graphical settings is pointless.

    Crysis wasn't that great of a game. CryTech is an awesome engine, but I had a fairly new computer and it wouldn't handle high settings. On medium or less it was just another FPS, and that's not going to move units.

      I liked the game quite a bit, I just hate not being able to play at maximum detail.

        Yeah I enjoyed the demo but I want the full experience when I play through the game. I can't get the full experience right now so I'm gonna wait a good long while.
