Far Cry 4 Pirates Caught Out

Many Fry Cry 4 users worldwide have been complaining since yesterday’s launch about a missing field of vision (FOV) slider. But wait, what’s this?

Yes, that is an FOV slider, as this screenshot is of the genuine Fry Cry 4 release. Fry Cry director Alex Hutchinson revealed on Twitter that this FOV slider was added in a day one patch.

Red faces all over Twitter and Reddit as a result, but it has opened the debate on pirating games.

The Reddit thread that had hundreds of comments suddenly has a lot of deleted spaces:

So far the launch of Far Cry 4 has gone very well, escaping the technical issues that have plagued the release of Assassin’s Creed Unity.
