Half-Life 2 Already Being Illegally Sold in Russia

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bad-men-doing-bad-things dept.

freidog writes "A short blurb on GamesRadar reports Half-Life 2 is for sale, sort of. It seems the 'leaked' Half-Life 2 source has found itself nicely updated and packaged for sale, in Russia. Some work has certainly gone into this production, as 'Hackers have apparently even gone to the length of translating text in the fully playable code into Russian.' However, one would imagine the game's content would be pretty sparse, and stability and polish lacking on such an early build." Another reader points to a page with more information on the bootleg discs, although only the disc art and packaging is mentioned as being translated.

    Oh come on, this is so barely off topic that it's informative nature makes up for it... Come on, someone give this guy some credit for digging this up?
