AMD Accidentally Leaks 1.7 Million DiRT 3 Keys

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday September 6, 2011 @08:18PM from the oops-times-one-point-seven-million dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The free game with every graphics card deal has finally backfired for AMD and Codemasters. Due to a lack of .htaccess, 1.7 million keys for a free copy of DiRT 3 on Steam have been leaked. No word from AMD or Codemasters yet, but I'm sure Valve will block all the codes on Steam soon. One question that remains: if you used one of the codes, will Steam ban your account? There could be a few very unhappy gamers later today if that happens." The exact number of keys is in question — reports range from 250,000 to 3 million — but AMD confirmed that a leak did occur.

I got PERMANENTLY banned from the steam forums for simply stating that piracy exists and people pirate games. Apparently, if you close your ears, hold your hands to you ears and yell LALALALALALA all problems instantly disappear.
