Re: Please Explain

I am not a game developer, so I have no idea what leaked source code means (as I am sure many of these conspiracy theorists don't either). Could someone please explain to me what exactly this means and why/if HL2 should be delayed? Basically it means the coding for the game (not the textures, models, sounds or other artwork) was taken from Valve via the internet. Apparently Valve may have lost some of the code if the hacker's deleted parts of it instead of just copying. Valve will likely not suffer any significant loss in sales in either HL2 game or the HL2 engine licensing, because 1) Piracy will always happen, leaked betas/source codes or not, and 2) Any game company using the source code on their next title will be sued out the ass if they don't pay the licensing fees first.
