It'll turn up fake user info and a spoofed IP address. People that do major piracy like this aren't stupid.
The games not even out yet and there is no correlation with the developers bills being paid for a game being leaked when it's not even out yet.Android2137 said:The subpoena was a legal necessity for both Square and Valve. I hope they catch the guy. Developers have bills and need to eat like the rest of us humans.
Yeah, but it isn't valve's fault. Square chose who they wanted to get the game early, and someone they chose got hacked. That is in no way valves fault.Roboto said:This isn't an internal leak, such as some where you don't hear about it in the news and the employee gets fried [sic] within days.cursedseishi said:God... really Square? Are you being this fucking stupid?
What's next, firing off all the developers after the game releases because they encouraged those who did download this leak to post on the games official forums? Are you really getting pissed over something that has actually BOOSTED your initial sales figures for the game?
Hell, if you don't want money that badly, just pull a Ninteno (Of America) and just refuse to release the game at all.
This was a group of people or a person that bludgeoned their way into getting access from a secured file server without authorization. That is known as illegal!
Boosted sales has nothing to do with it. As far as the money goes, an NDA was violated, a server was compromised, and someone's gonna have to pay for it.
They still need legal baring to get the information they need.brainslurper said:Yeah, but it isn't valve's fault.
