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."
Yes I buy ALL my software, I ain't a thief. Thats what amazes me about some of you people, you talk as if it's normal to steal things, I guess I am a dying breed but I respect other people hard work, unlike the majority of you thieving bastards.
These hackers that cripple companies with viruses and destroy years of work should be locked up for at least 15 years. Thats not me bieng barbaric or a Nazi, it's just protecting society from dangerous people.
You don't seem to realise that some companies go to the wall through hackers, the staff are then jobless which then sometimes results in losing their home. Then debt gets larger unless they can quickly find another job, it can ruin your life. So whats wrong with ruining theirs?
I suppose to some of you lot it's all harmless fun, maybe you should get out more and see that the world is real and things have a cause and effect. Valve have put in years with this game and it all came close to ruin all because of a selfish prick, bring back the birtch.
