EA's move for the fans to not implement the iron-fisted DRM in a blockbuster release of the year, Sims 3, has led to the game being leaked and downloaded 2 weeks before it is slated for release (June 5th).
Apparently, the game was supposed to have been released earlier in February, but a strategic decision to delay the game in order to give it the proper marketing boost has only led to such a tragedy.
Other gaming news sites are confirming now as to whether or not the Sims 3 torrents floating around are indeed a full copy of the game. It is a horrible case of irony as EA had decided to leave DRM out thanks to the debacle surrounding Spore last year, but the wide-spread piracy of Sims 3 will only serve to create more mistrust amongst game developers towards audiences, and bring back the good ol' DRM.
