2K Games’ BioShock 2 isn’t yet available in game stores all over the world, but the game has already been leaked on torrents, certainly hitting the sales of the PC version at least. It’s not the first time when pirates manage to release such a highly anticipated and big name title before the official release date and it will certainly not be the last time.

We have no idea how the first day sales for the hot BioShock 2 will go now that torrent sites offer the game for free (but have in mind that downloading is illegal!), but we do know one thing: the game was highly anticipated and the number of downloads, from a quick check on open torrent trackers, reaches tens of thousands already! Of course, there are the private torrent trackers offering BioShock 2, and the pirated copies are certainly sky-rocketing.

We haven’t checked yet (and we won’t do it anyway) if the BioShock 2 torrents are genuine or scams, but judging from the comments, it’s the full version of the game you can download. Pretty sad to see another great title getting hit hard by piracy but… who’s to blame here?

What about you? Will you be downloading the pirated BioShock 2 version or buy it?
