Half-Life 2 ist draußen

Vielleicht isses einfach nur ne verdammt gute ausrede um den release termin zu verschieben!

Neben dem HL2-Quellcode wurde scheinbar auch Code des Multiplayer-Titels Team Fortress 2 Distributionsplattform Steam entwendet.
Noch sind die Auswirkungen des Diebstahls schwer einzuschätzen. Beispielsweise könnte dank des Quellcodes Cheatern und Hackern in Spielen, welche auf der Half-Life 2-Engine basieren, Tür und Tor geöffnet sein.

This packed file is 30 MB. Unpacked its aorund 100 MB and contains source files. These files can be used to create programs. These programs are nice, the code is fun to look at, but you have no Half-Life 2. Whats missing is the resources, all the models, levels, scripts, textures, etc. If you program (really, not just html or something like that...) and are fluent in C++ then this might be interesting for you to look at. And if you are a competitor of Valve you have it already anyways.

To 99,9% of the people reading this, the file will be USELESS. To the rest, it might be interesting to look at, see how they structured things, have a hands on look at their game engine and stuff, but not of real value. And about cheats... Forget it. Until you have the resources, you cant write real cheats for it that would work in online play. And the other ones in singleplayer are easy as hell anyways. So stop talking about that.

Valve made the mistake of not having enough security. I am sure they cursed themselves and yelled a lot already, but no one can take it back now. So go on with your lives and let that matter rest. Sooner or later we will have the full game and then this will be mostly forgotten.
