Honestly, I dont see how this is anything but good for them. Its a COD game, I'm betting <1% of their sales are folks who just want to play the campaign. Being pirated is like releasing single player as a demo to entice people to buy multiplayer.

Probably not, but the article doesn't actually say whether it has DRM or not. Honestly "article" is generous, it reads like this one guy's thoughts put to paper.

You can't get a full version because the base game requires thousands of players before it's a viable product. Getting an early copy of COD is like sneaking into a concert venue 3 days before the show.

This CoD has a singleplayer campaign, so you'd get that.

Yeah, that and all the studies that show piracy is good for sales. And the whole “all of the top 100 highest grossing games of all time minus gtaV are free-to-play” thing people tend to forget

See? THAT'S why Stop Killing Games is bad! Imagine they had also cracked and released the private servers that they would have had to prepare!!!!1111oneeleven

And, in this case, no rent-a-piggies for miles!

Well that and abusing addicts through microtransactions. Free to play was just to reach more addicts.
