It is pretty cruel that Ubisoft is releasing Watch Dogsafter a three-day holiday weekend. Perhaps the publisher wanted you to get some sunshine before spending the rest of your summer inside, deep into the world of future Chicago hacking in the open-world game.

However if that little voice in your head is trying to convince you to torrent the PC version, be warned. Besides being illegal and a bastion for malware, one Watch Dogs torrent was discovered to have Bitcoin mining software inside. Even if some of the game files actually worked, your computer would be bogged down creating the cryptocurrency for the hacker who embedded it. Irony, am I right?

Watch Dogs drops tomorrow, May 27 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC.
