quote: To the electric chair with them! Same for the fags who stole the Half Life 2 code. No mercy. The fact that Half-life 2 wasn't playable at E3 proves the whole hack/stolen gibberish was complete and utter bullshit. The game was no where near finished.
I'd say the fact that Gabe Newell admitted that it was bullshit would be slightly stronger proof. Not that that will stop the legions of forum fanboys and lame print magazines like GamePro from finally having an example of how "piracy hurts us all".
And yes, from a moral standpoint, this really does suck for Konami. But realistically, this is just going to be a fun couple of hours for those with PS2 mod chips and, in the end, just another bit of gaming antiquity, like Propeller Arena, the Dreamcast Half-Life alpha, or the Thrill Kill beta.
And phrasing it as "MGS3 code stolen" is a little misleading. If this was the same demo that everyone was playing, which it seems to have been, then this isn't the source code. It's a binary. This isn't going to reveal any trade secrets or internal development processes. At least not any more of them than a final retail copy of Snake Eater would.
