Game Leaks, again!
Posted Jan 6th, 12:01am by Foe
Modified Jan 6th, 12:02am by Foe
It has happened yet again. Another leaked game. This is really getting ridiculous to hear about. First HL2, Doom3, Painkillers and now Warcraft has been leaked, too. (I am sure there are many others)

Brewskie over at Half-LifeNews.com,has written a short article about it.
PC Gaming Leaking Like A Sieve?

Over at Blue'sNews.com they have the statement from Dream Catcher on Painkillers leak.
Painkillers Leaked

Then at Warp2Search.net, they are talking about the Warcraft leak.
World of Warcraft Alpha Leaked
What do you think about all these game leaks?
Enjoy!

Damn these companies need to invest in hardcore security and have two machines, one for web browsing and email and another to develop the game on, and the machines they develop the games on need to be a completely different network which is no way attached to the net, transfers they need off of the net should come off of CDROM or USB flash disk.

What is the point of ppl stealing Sh...Stuff?

I mean it Delays the game most of the time it isnt playable its illegal (that doesnt stop em!) and it makes it more of a Security Risk to anyone Playing the game online.

[gold]Well at least it isnt Starcraft![/gold]
Trying to find old players. Anyone about? Drop me a PM or reply to this thread:

Stealing the source code yes.
But a leaked alpha doesn't cause any real harm.

Its like a early demo, one that doesn't run very well and doesn't look all that nice, but gives a taste and makes people want more
Most of the leaked Alphas/Betas are playable. They are pre-compiled and once you know how to operate them they work fine.

(and Foe, thanks for the headsup on the Painkillers one, Didn't know about it )

It could be a way of creating interest for the new games

More than likely, the HL2 example is going to be used with comiled versions getting supposedly stolen, its BS, release a demo when the game is ready.

Is it all down to clever people hacking into the developer's networks, or could it be the work of actual development team members who are PO'd at their terms of employment and are out for revenge

I think the HL2 code was 'leaked' so the developers had an excuse to delay the game

Believe me when I say games at beta stage have a LOT of bugs in. Anything beta or earlier is just asking for trouble.

If that HL2 beta was a "beta" there was no way it was going to be out on time

im very disapointed in the STALKER alpha, there AR sucks!, i know there this is the alpha but its a gun there is no reason they will change it shows a compleat lack of knowledge about real guns. they put the button to force the action closed on the wrong side and used it as a charging handle. they also made the ejection port cover spring closed after eatch shot, they spend the time to actuly go to chernoble and take pictures but they cant spend the time to go to a gunshow or a shop and handle the guns they are making. i find it very unprofeshonal.
