Bungie Speaks On Halo 2 Leak

BlueMoon writes "A moderator on the official Halo 2 forums posted some speculations and warnings about the Halo 2 leak. To the question where the leak originated he answered "is almost positively the work of some jerk in the manufacturing plant who pocketed the game". They also send out a warning that posting any kind of information about leak will result in "having your XBox Live account's ability to play Halo 2 crippled as we can and we will ban your gamertags from access to vital parts of Halo 2's online experience"." TalkXbox has a repost of an official statement asking community members to assist in the capture of the folks who leaked the game.

Did Bungie get hacked or something?

Of course not. This is almost positively the work of some jerk in the manufacturing plant who pocketed the game is it is being printed in mass for world release on the 9th of November.

Didn't the owner of of Bungie, Microsoft, get hacked a while ago and someone actually stole some of Windows code? Arrogant jerks.

Piracy = Theft (again)

I love reading the debates on Slashdot on whether piracy is theft, I really do. They have given lots of insight into the true meaning of the word theft.

I don't think making copies available is theft, but Microsoft does:

"We consider downloading this code, or making it available for others to download, as theft," the company says in a statement.

Actually the "jerk" who lifted the original copy is guilty of theft, not the pirates. Slashdot posters have convinced me of that time and time again. Microsoft still has all the copies except the one lifted from the plant. Piracy is piracy, theft is theft. (Or is it? he he)

Think this has anything to do with this announcement?

What's the big worry?

[curtlewis]

Word is that this French version is so buggy that the only controls you can get to work are drop weapon and retreat...

Makes you wonder...

[NatureBoy]

Makes you wonder if somthing os wrong with the game, and that they don't want ppl knowing it before it launches.
