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."
I don't agree with the actions of the hacker(s), taking the files to begin with. However, it it worries me even more that so many people want to string them up and get very upset at others discussing issues relating to the game that they personally don't think should be discussed.
I would like to know how many of the people getting angry about discussion of a beta, that cannot be un-released, don't have a single MP3 downloaded using KaZaA, or a piece of pirated software they shouldn't have on their computer, but they use anyway, everyday.
Bunch of F**KING HYPOCRITES!!!
The game is out there. It isn't complete so most people who download it will eventually buy it anyway. Bottom line is that it is only a f**king game, for Godssake. Get over it and get outside and get some fresh air. Enough "get"s for one morning.
Bring on DOOM3....
