  1. I'm pretty sure the debacle started with the horrendous release of the game , surely not with the viral marketing unless you are referring to those garbage clickbait articles on Polygon and ect. about some fabricated controversy

  2. I don't really see why this is a big deal.

    The XP source leak was important, because it contains a lot of technology that is still relevant; is a complete source tree for an OS that could be updated (independent of its owner) and divert (or at least defer) sales; has some security implications — that is, it could reveal vulnerabilities that still exist in current code, or just still exist in the wild; and reveals a lot of trade secrets in terms of revealing information about protocols and hardware that would otherwise be behind NDA. So that is interesting.

    But… a game? Sure, someone could get a leg up with some visual effects algorithms, but … like.. what else? There are plenty of readily available game engines if you just want to publish your content without having to write a platform of your own. So I don't see how this is a huge win for a developer. If you're going to do anything interesting, you would need to be capable of writing your own stuff anyway. Otherwise you're stuck with what it can do out of the box and that's it. Considering its buggy state, ATM, even that's not really a huge win.

    For the consumer, the value is in the content. You're paying for an experience. Having the source code out there does nothing to improve that. (Except for maybe making it available on unsupported platforms down the road, but there are usually more direct routes to that.)

    So… who cares? What am I missing?

  3. as a game dev I say fuck cdpr! If they get away with this it will cripple the AAA-Industrie by lowering the bars of patience for investors.
    Just look back at GTA5 and MGS5 they had to get more money to fullfill their promises and they somehow found a decent though dissapointing way.

  4. Lol, why the fuck would anyone other than the developer pay millions for the source code? You can't use it for anything without it being a copyright violation. It's basically just to fuck with the developers.

  5. Honestly i think we should just lay off the whole "new game doesn't run 4k on 10 year old consoles' like damn, it happened, we made our voice heard and the devs are doin what they can to fix it. This whole fiasco just helps give ammo against the gaming community. Just Let it go, and be patient,

  6. It seems worth saying, to LMG (and it should be said for any company), that if you have any sensitive or invaluable information it shouldn't be exposed to lock out or copying. It might be time for many a company to review it's access policies and who and how information is gained access to.

    It's also worth factoring in that maybe many of these leaks are exclusively limited to the actions of breaking groups but could be dependent on an insider who decided to harm the company in the most disruptive way possible. They had been stumbling and news leading up to the release year had hints that employees were getting strangled with hours and creep.

  7. I don't think a game developer bought the code. If anything it was sold to someone who's searching for exploits in the code, that could enable an attack on computers that have the game installed.
