  1.  Square Enix has filed a lawsuit towards several Italian individuals for leaking a preview build of their next game ‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ to the public via torrent. They have issued a subpoena towards the video game company Valve, the creators of Steam, where the preview build was sent out to journalists for them to write a preview of the game in their articles.
