Anonymous Hacker speaks - Oct 11 2003, 08:10 PM By: SirEnrique
The guy who broke into Valve Softwares computers and stole the source code has made a short speach on some IRC channel. From Half-Life 2 Online Source:
To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to understand it wasnt finished yet.
Also I'd like to point out the E3 [demo] was one big fake by Valve. Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ?
To everyone saying this is no Beta: I'd like to point out that THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no such thing as a much better release in Valves network!
To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how much was stolen/compromised, or I'll have to release everything just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do.
Read about the theft at CNN/Money here
Look at screenshots from the beta here (site under construction).
Edit: The text wasn't from a IRC channel but from the .nfo file from the leaked beta. Thanks jbiz
