Don't you recognize who NoBS is, NIN? The multiple replies.. the use of the word "moot", PURE HATRED FOR VALVE.. especially steam??
Edit--My stance on the suing is indifferent. I do believe the leak was a positive thing overall for the game. If they want to prosecute though, they have every right to. I have no problem with that, especially considering they're not suing for $5,000,000 in damages or some stupid shit like that.

Publisher doing this. |

This may have been written already, I'll go back and check out all the comments in a bit, but the immediate thing about this story that stuck out at me - and I think even if it has already been mentioned deserves it again is: this is the publisher doing this. Publishers have more of a reason to have a bug up their butt than a developer: Eidos. I have this game pre-ordered, you know: paid, and this story does not change a single feeling I have that it is almost certainly going to be an awesome game. I haven't downloaded or looked for this leaked copy: I'll happily wait and experience it all new with less bugs than the leak, but, if I was something like dying then I wouldn't feel bad about going and getting the leak.
Basically, you can understand a publisher going after people who infringe their products because it is their business. But also, at the same time, the leak is no where near a complete product so if they do get the people who did leak it under a rock: I hope they don't squish them too much.

What i've gleaned from this whole thread is this:
There are those who feel a crime was committed, there are those who feel it was free advertising, and there are those who don't give a fuck.
I'm buying the game and I hope they smarten up before the official release and release some cool schwag instead of those stupid in game weapons. Seriously, it's a stealth game, what the fuck am I gonna do with a double barreled sawed off?!?
I'll just download the 'exclusive' level later.
Exclusive level indeed.. an open ended game like this and you think you can buy my preorder with one stray story map?!? I mean, if they'd advertised it as, 'Pre-order and learn about Tracer Tong in an exclusive storyline' maybe I'd be suckered, but as it stands, no dice. |

So very very wrong. Whenever they reset the survey stats and roll out a new survey, users are prompted with a pop-up asking if they would like to take part in the new survey the next time they restart Steam.
Edit: Dev has provided more details about this below.
You can opt out of Steam Guard. You can opt out of the hardware/software survey. You can opt out of Steam Cloud.
Onto NoBS's comments...you have to be freaking stupid if you think Valve shouldn't maintain log files of the activity on the Steam network. There is no valid argument here, it would just be simply stupid not to.

Has anyone said that this isn't illegal?
The usual folks are in here responding to, "The leak was actually probably good for them" with "STEALING = STEALING QED"

Steam's been open about hardware IDs since May. Even if you were unaware before it's impossible to be unaware now - every time you use a device with a new hardware ID it makes you authorize it via a code emailed to you.
Except when their system is under stress like during a sale now. Its been 3 or so days, still never got the email when I tried to login to my laptop.

I thought if you opted out of Steam's hardware/software spyware survey, your information was not tracked and stored.
I'm pretty sure what Beamer described has to do with SteamGuard which is indeed optional and allows you to bind your Steam account to certain physical machines, thus making it harder for haXX0rs to hack into Steam accounts.
No one can opt out of Steam's spyware survey as far as I know. Steam survey is an integral feature of Steam that can not be turned off.
He is indeed talking about steamguard. Which is enabled by DEFAULT now. You MUST opt out of it if you don't want to use it. Goto "SETTINGS" then you will see a section that says "Security Status: Protected by steamguard". You can disable it if you like. All it does, is if a new computer tries to login to your account, it sends an access code to your email account and you use that code to enable the new computer. Its to prevent hacking. I personally like the idea.... if they would ever actually send the emails when the servers are under load.
As for Steam Hardware survey, last I checked it asked you when it was doing a survey if you wanted to do it. Maybe this has changed, but thats what I recall.
Edit:
Yeah here, it says optional
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
It probably remembers your previous answer about if it could do the survey or not, so you haven't seen the popup in a while. I've seen it a few times not too long ago since I've done some computer upgrades/reinstalls etc.
Edit 2: A google search reveals a steam forum mod saying not everyone gets the survey, its always something that prompts to see if you want to do it, and it often hits if you have new hardware.

Regardless of how good the leaked version is or isn't, regardless of where it was stored to make it convenient for press to get access to it, regardless of whether or not this illegitimate copy of the game leads to word of mouth sales...the bottom line is someone stole credentials, downloaded a piece of software they didn't have any right to download and then, redistributed it over the internet. All before the game has been released.
That's just flat out illegal. I've never heard of a more black and white case of copyright infringement outside of some kind of Mission Impossible plot where they physically break into the developer's offices using elaborate disguises and make off with a hard drive.
Not every asshat behavior needs to be rationalized away as serving the greater good. Some douchebags are actually criminals and deserve to have the fucking book thrown at them. |
