Hellgate London Code Stolen?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hl2-all-over-again dept.

The Gamers With Jobs Press Pass is reporting on a rumour that the code for Hellgate:London has been stolen. 'Reliable sources' indicate that Flagship Studios' servers have been taken down (and hopefully secured) in the wake of the incident. From the article: "My source indicates that the virtual break-in was conducted by a Chinese individual who is currently attempting to sell the code from a personal website. For those of you who don't know, Hellgate: London is the first project by ex-Blizzard developer Bill Roper and his new studio, the game has been at the last two E3's and looks to be shaping up very nicely."

      if (typo) { foot.shoot(); }


      I think it goes something like this:

      if(typo)
      {
      programmer.shoot(foot);
      }

    ... it's not stealing, it's copyright infringement!

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    I thought Don't Connect Your Development Enviroment To The Internet was in game design 101 since Half-life 2?
