The theory goes that MS or someone close to MS leaks the game themselves. They then have an excuse to ban anyone that gets caught playing the game early, therefore meaning that person will have to buy a new console plus Live subscription if they want to get online again. So the money they lose from leaking a game is more than made up for by people having to buy new consoles/subscriptions. Not saying that's a fact, it's just one theory that gets circulated a lot.
