Fake Dragon Quest IX circulates torrent sites
When a game is as hyped as Dragon Quest IX, there is bound to be a leak. I mean c’mon, the game was pre-ordered how many times, 2 million?
Unfortunately, some tricksters thought it would be funny to release a fake torrent that featured nothing other than a hentai slideshow. Futhermore, said hentai slideshow bricks your Nintendo DS if you decide to run the pirated software.
So just as a personal note, if you feel the need to download Dragon Quest IX prior to its release date, don’t do it as it’s probably a fake.
