According to PCGames.de (use BabelFish to translate), Crytek Studios' office was raided by German police Wednesday morning. Apparently, an ex-employee is said to have told police that Crytek was using pirated software.

Update: Another report over at GameSpot has statements from both Crytek and Ubisoft regarding the raid. They basically say no one was arrested and no machines were seized. They also confirm that the release date of their upcoming first person shooter, Far Cry, has not been affected and will ship at the end of March as planned.
