Half-Life 2: Delay? Maybe, Playable? Yes [Oct 07, 2003, 4:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
New delay for
Half-Life sequel on BBC News (thanks Eraserhead) has a quote from Christophe
Ramboz of Vivendi Universal Games on the Half-Life 2 source code theft that
takes a completely different direction than the talk of four month delays found
in a different article (story), as they have him saying:
"Vivendi Universal Games is only the distributor of the product, which is
produced by the US studio Valve and so it will up to them to make an
announcement." Meanwhile, Thieves
steal playable version of Half-Life 2 on CNN Money contradicts reports that
downplay the amount of code stolen, choosing to reveal that the Source
source thieves "also stole enough game maps and other components to put
together a playable build of the game. Today, five days after the first leak,
they have released that build."
There exists a small but vocal group of negativists, hatemongers, and trolls. Yesterday (and ongoing, just currently out of the spotlight) it was MS, EA, Ubi, et al; Valve just happens to be the target of the day because they're in the buzz.
3 things lead to theft: Greed, Envy, Malice.
Am I pissed? Yup. Do I blame Valve? Nope. I blame the sorry asses who at some point in their lives went astray and think it's ok to steal.
