Bard's Tale Pokes Fun at Game Leaks

ZIA writes "In response to the continued trend of games being warezed before release, inXile Entertainment, developers of the forthcoming action role-playing game The Bard's Tale, have sent out an amusing press release that pokes fun at the issue. "The Bard's Tale is a highly original game in the same category as a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 so we feel some sort of leak that sounds similar to what they have experienced may be the next logical step in our launch plans."

    It shares nothing with The Bard's Tale from the 80's besides the name. Alas.

      It also shares at least one of the developers, Brian Fargo, in a lead role, so it is not completely hopeless that at least some of the spirit will shine through.
