German game development house Crytek, who are currently finishing work on Far Cry, a first person shooter for Ubisoft, were allegedly raided by police this morning for using pirated software development tools. The company is expected to be charged fines in the 6 figure amount (euro) for the offense. The tip-off apparently came from a former employee of the company.

The raid shouldn't have any adverse effects on the production schedule for Far Cry. Neither Crytek nor Ubisoft have yet issued a statement regarding the incident.
