EA is just one of the publishers that likes receiving income for offering exclusive downloads of various versions of its software, and this time around it's on EA's upcoming mega-hit, Crysis.
The Crysis Multiplayer demo is available to a selective bunch of Fileplanet subscribers. As usually happens, keys are being served on first-come, first-served basis, and the first batch of keys disappeared into thin air. There will be a grand total of four key batches, with three being marked as "coming soon." This marketing scheme is successful in creating decent revenue for something that used to be free, but if you want to play Crysis now, you are going to get milked all the way.
The single-player demo is set for September 25th while the final version is due sometime mid-November, just two weeks after the arrival of Hellgate: London. The status of the single-player demo and its potential exclusivity was not known at press time.
November is looking out to be one of the hottest gaming months we have seen in a long time. ยต
