Here's a rewrite that I think is much more pleasant, and would build good will, and probably increase sales:

Crytek has been alerted that an early incomplete, unfinished build of Crysis 2 has appeared on Torrent sites. Crytek and EA are a bit shocked, but surprisingly ok with the news. Saves us the trouble of writing a demo! So check out the pirated, unofficial demo, and be sure to buy the full game when it comes out on March 22nd.

And try not to spoil yourself too much on the leak, the full game is much better already!

I'm not sure how wise this was. I couldn't resist the Half-Life 2 leak, and it did actually detract from my experience of the final game. It was buggy, crashed a lot, many of the levels were completely untextured or unscripted, but there was enough dialogue already in the game to spoil the plot. I agree it could use a more pleasant rewrite, but in their position I would want to put people off playing the leak for that reason alone.

Oh, and they have made a demo - it's been out on the 360 for a couple of weeks I think.
