Valve Updates On Half-Life 2 Code Leak

Posted by simoniker on Friday October 3, 2003 @06:47PM from the fear-for-your-hax0r-lives dept.

Thanks to ShackNews for their updated report from Valve boss Gabe Newell regarding Thursday's leak of the Half-Life 2 source code. He says: "We're still finding machines internally that have been compromised" in relation to the "infiltration of our network" that led to the code leak, and warns that other developers may also be in danger: "There's anecdotal evidence that other game developers have been targeted by whoever attacked us." But he ends with a hopeful appeal to those who've been helping Valve hunt down the culprits online: "I've been fielding calls from the mainstream non-games, non-technical press all day. Hopefully they will get to report shortly what a mistake it is to piss off a whole bunch of gamers and get them hunting you around the Internet."

These guys are smart enough to completely own Valve's computers but they're not smart enough to realize that you have to get the art, sounds, levels, and such too if you want to play Half-Life 2.

"There's anecdotal evidence that other game developers have been targeted by whoever attacked us."

Bad news for 3D Realms today - Duke Nukem Forever source liberated. Sadly, there wasn't that much to liberate.

Here it is, contents of dukeforever.c:

main()
{
printf("Duke Nukem Forever\n");
}
