wow

thats something new... I wonder whats going to happen to it now

[Martin]

I wouldn't worry about it too much now that I think about it. Valve seems to be pretty efficient at getting rid of the source code it seems, and all that I think this is going to do on a larger scale is build up the hype for it.

I'm hyped, for one

[Tony]

well if it really is out there, it will just get posted on some hacker forums anyways. And I'd like to see Valve catch them if they create a new account though 10 proxys.

Though if it was just a part of the code, then its all just publisity - and HL2 is getting just that now

[Catalyst]

the code is in a lot of different places (some still work)

[Mazer]

don't worry, valve will track down the criminals and send the headcrabs after them.

oh err lol ;D hehe,
Ah who cares...HL 2 is well, does anyone even play it?

[Mazer]

no, of course not. that's why they spent millions of dollars to make a sequel.

EDIT: that's assuming you mean HL, considering the only people playing HL2 right now are pretty much just those who work at valve

[Asok]

the valve e-mail server was hacked and they've been getting Denial of Service attacks since 3 weeks ago.

during that time, the code was taken.

valve is very pissed off about this but in the long run, I don't see any major damage since I believed they were to open source it anyways with an SDK.
