FBI Half-Life 2 Raids [Jan 19, 2004, 4:02 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A weblog post
mentioned in a
Slashdot story apparently gives the account of a San Francisco native's
encounter with the FBI as the fed's raided his home looking for evidence in
connection with the theft of the Half-Life 2 source code (story).
According to Slashdot (since the site has been, naturally enough, Slashdotted),
the blog includes a scan of the FBI's search warrant. Thanks Captain Trips.
Swiffer, the most damaging loss was the theft of the Steam code, not the rendering tech. The rendering tech is valuable to be sure but Steam is the core of their new business model which they planned to liscense as well. That value has dimished a LOT. Valve can't recover the sheer amount of man-hours that was put into its coding and has to toss much of it out and start again.

"Both the “left” and the “right” pretend they have the answer, but they are mere flippers on the same thalidomide baby, and the truth is that neither side has a clue."
