HL2 Theft, The Previously Unsaid

8th October 2003, 9:20pm
The BBC News has a quote from Christophe Ramboz of Vivendi Universal Games on the Half-Life 2 source code theft that takes a completely different direction than the talk of four month delays found in a different articles, as they have him saying: "Vivendi Universal Games is only the distributor of the product, which is produced by the US studio Valve and so it will up to them to make an announcement." Meanwhile, a report on CNN Money contradicts reports that downplay the amount of code stolen, choosing to reveal that the Source source thieves "also stole enough game maps and other components to put together a playable build of the game. Today, five days after the first leak, they have released that build."

Before we were told that only the source code was taken and it was really only usefull from a developers perspective as without images and such the content was unplayable. Now there is this, interesting.
