As we all know, an early (yet somewhat complete) version of Gears of War 3 was leaked onto the internet and was absconded (or in this case downloaded) by pirates. As you can imagine, Epic is nervous that many of these people will be complete douchebags and spoil the experience for those who played fair and waited until they could buy the game legally before playing it. But there is a solution.
During a chat with Eurogamer, Gears of War 3 executive producer Rod Fergusson said that the developer has an ace up its sleeve that will prevent the game from being spoiled for the patient players who waited.
"We have a banning system built into our stuff so we can go in and identify certain people. Some people aren't smart about what they do. They'll be disappointed on 20th September when they can't get in and can't play. They may be banned."
Fergusson also said that the leaked version isn't a fair representation of the final version's polish and he also had special message to those who've pirated the game.
"If you don't value this community, you don't value this experience, then we don't value you. I'd rather pick that one bad apple out of the pool so everybody else can have a better time."
Daaaaaammmmmmn! Now that is what I call laying the smacketh down. In a verbal (and soon to be digital) sense of course.
