Eve Online Client Source Code Leaked

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday April 14, 2008 @10:02AM from the shoot-first-ask-questions-later dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that the game client source code for the popular MMO, Eve Online, has been leaked via torrent. In addition to the source code the user also posted a lengthy chat transcript with someone from CCP customer support. While the end goal may have been to call attention to the continuing security issues within Eve (and ultimately themselves), there are probably better ways of getting through to support. Unfortunately, CCP seems to be responding with the usual knee-jerk reaction of banning everyone breathing a whisper of this incident. I wonder if any large MMO company will ever be brave enough to calmly address an issue rather than wielding the ban-hammer.

Funny. All of those problems listed are also issues in World of Warcraft. A company protects its copyright, and because they have a few issues that a lot of mmorpg's experience it's 'okay' for people to steal and distribute the source code. And when they retaliate you have a problem with this? I want what you're on.
