They are only suing them for $5000, not very harsh considering the crime. Also kudos to valve for obeying their privacy policy.
edit: actually it says in excess of $5000, so not sure exactly how much it would end up being. Regardless I don't blame a company of suing the person that leaked an early build regardless of whether it helped or not. Its the type of behaviour you would want to discourage. |

| RTFA... This was not a public (or semi-public, whatever that means..) server. The person had to have credentials that were supplied to one magazine in Italy. The fault isn't going to be with Square Enix. A game "journalist" is about to cost his company a lot of money, and lose their career. |

Suing them? They should be fucking THANKING them.
That leaked build has done more to build positive word of mouth about this game than all the 9 billion previews combined.
Idiots.

They dont see it that way, these companies are so greed driven that they have lost all sanity when it comes to their IP. If they were smart they would release the demo and call it a good day. But Square Enix has never been very smart. |

Yeah good luck with that. If the server is public, or even semi-public, requiring no, or limited login credentials to gain access. The only one at fault will be Square Enix.
It was Steam.

Yea Square Enix, you guys do realize this leak has only been good for you. How many more preorders or day one purchasers will have made that decision by playing this leaked demo?
You bet that number is a whole hell of a lot. |

That leak convinced me to pre-order the game for sure. Id say it probably did more good than harm on the whole.
If a game company thinks they have a hit game on their hands, part of the marketing's budget should be given to the developer to have them build a unique level to use as a free demo, if you as me.
Half-Life: Uplink is still one of the best demos ever, imo (though it came out after the game's release).

I don't get you. They said that the individuals used credentials gained from an Italian gaming magazine right? Then I'd say the ones at fault would be both the magazine and the individuals in question.
Game companies usually give pre-release builds/demos to the press right?
Maybe I'm not getting it... |
