.
Why did he do it?
>>729886405What a fucking waste
I really fucking hope that disc was unreadable
blizzdrones are the biggest cücks out there
>>729886536>>729886530>>729886405what would him keeping it and sharing it online have accomplished
Look at what Blizzard sent me back!EDIT: thanks for the Reddit Gold!
>>729886405maybe he cloned it and has the copy to this very day, obviously cant talk about it in public
>>729886737Quite a lot
>>729886737We finally could have had a PC port, retard.
>>729886405how much money could you possibly ask that blizzard would be willing to give?
>>729886536>>729886530You pirate niggers really wanted him to dump the source code and get sued to oblivion?The only mistake he did was not charging a good cash from it.>>729886791Lol that doesn't for blizzard because as long he don't dump and upload, he is not a threat
>>729886530Because he knew that not returning that disk to its owners would eventually endanger everything.
>>729886530reddit good boy points
>>729886997Thats why you dump it anonymously retard. Instead of trading it in and showing off your gay swag for Reddit points.
>man finds missing property, returns it to owner>"NOOOO you should have held it ransom or given it to hackers or turned it to some other kind of illicit use, anything but give it back AAAH I CAN'T FUCKING STAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE"In other words, on this website that always extols the virtues of white civilisation, you wanted him to do exactly what a ghetto criminal would have done.
>>729886997>and get sued to oblivion?YesWhy the fuck should I care for the wellbeing of anyone that isn't me?
>>729887191Why should he care about you
>>729887191based jamal
>>729887178It's literally 1's and 0's that millions of player had already paid for at that point, you deranged tranny. It's equivalent to j-walking at that point.
>>729886530Because he is an idiot. The dude legally owned that CD, so he could have sold it to Blizzard for A LOT of money... or he could have just quietly leaked the code to the internet.
>>729887178White collar crimes are primly perpetrated by whites.Acting like a middle class nigger is par for the course.
>>729887135>dump anonymouslyHe was a normie, he would probably post somewhere in the internet using a VPN and think he is "safe">>729887191Jew
>>729886997go on mcdonald's wifi with a vpn, upload it and post a link here, literally no company is jumping through all the hoops to figure out who's behind that for some old game's code
He bought it on eBay and the seller has his information. There was no way to leak it and remain anonymous. The seller (possibly a Blizzard employee) would eventually notice that his CD was gone.I have no idea whether he could get in trouble for it, though.Trading it for merch was the safest option to benefit from this.
>>729887501Like l said here>>729887464He was a normie, and would do a fuck up, not worth the risk, you pirate niggers underestimate society until it come back and bite your ass
>>729886530>bro just risk getting sued by a corporation and being financially fucked for life, we need the source code for this uncslop!
>>729886405why did HE do it?
>>729887868>729887868He didnt wanna get sued.
>DUDE NOOOO, THAT WAS OUR CHANCEYour chance to do what? Make elaborate StarCraft mods and campaigns?What more is there? Now imagine if this was the blu ray disc with the Fox Engine inside. That would be a real happening.
>>729887964I just wanted to read the source code as a learning experience my guy
>>729887178anything that makes multi-billionaire corpos and richniggers seethe to death is correct by defaultWe need more Luigis btw
>People are unironically defending modern day Actiblizz itt
>>729886405Redditor was based, honestly, I'd would have done the same in his place.>nooo! You should risk getting sued by Blizzard because I want to make coomer modsDecompile the game's code then or something, lazy retard.
>>729887292>if you don’t commit theft, you’re transgenderSo do all 7 billion non-transgender people on earth have to rob someone in order to keep our genitals?
>>729888070I thought about this too, that's something I suppose.
>>729888273>Starcraft coom mods
>>729886806>>729886857how much would you have donated to his legal defense gofundme to keep him out of federal PMITA prison?
>>729888273>frogposter is stupidlike clockwork

>>729888479You didnt refute anything said, though.
>>729888483Things that have never happened for $500 Alex.
>>729888584whatever you say frognigger
>>729888483Ok but how do they trace the packet traffic to you?
>>729888596>creativity 10 vs creativity 0
>>729888876>wall of text vs no wall of text.
>>729886405>Not sure anyone cares anymore but...>Blizzard gave me a copy of overwatch origins and $250 credit for the blizzard store.>they sent me a package i have yet to receive.>yesterday i got another call, they invited me to blizzcon all expense-paid, dinner and drinks with the staff
>>729886405If anyone cared they'd just make an open source copy of the game. That hasn't happened and won't happen because nobody cares, nobody wants to do anything with this source code.
>>729888767>>729888596>>729888186They literally don't have any idea because they're either brown third worlders or AI LLMs, either way flawlessly beholden to talmudic masters and worshiping those systems unto death.They're the same niggers on /out/ who say you have to pay the national park service a gorillion dollars to do anything and if you don't the magic park rangers will teleport behind you the second you litter or set up a tent.To them, life is propaganda NCIS reruns where somehow criminals are always caught no matter how trifling the matter when 40% of murders are unsolved TODAY
>>729888483It doesn’t matter where or how you upload something that potentially exists only once. They probably didn’t mass-produce identical copies of that source-code CD. You would need a second copy of it to figure out if it's safe to leak.
>>729889159just like >>729887868 the nigga posted the pc before he gutted it and no one cared or said anything about data preservationpeople just wanna get mad
>>729887897pretty sure he was just retarded. he didn't understand what he did until everyone on the internet called him a retard for wiping the drive.
>>729889224are you underage?
>>729888957You're able to read it, right?
>>729886530He expected a big reward and was probably a blizzdrone. Like imagine if that was the source code for Mario Odyssey. If a tendie stumbled upon it, they would give it back to Nintendo and hope they get to shake Miyamoto's hand or something. Blizzard has fallen from grace so hard that people forget just how rabid Blizzdrones used to be. They were one of the worst and most obsessive fanbases out there, they would legitimately ONLY play Blizzard games in the same way people try to paint tendies as only playing Nintendo games now but it actually true for the Blizzdrones. They even had a massive mega convention every year with Blizzcon.
>>729889020guy could have put it up for auction and made a lot more money than what he got.
>>729886767>Diablo 3Dude didn't even realize they were insulting him.
>>729888445$0
>>729887178>LEAVE THE BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION ALONE
it's sad that he had to publically link himself to the disk being a normalnigger and all, if he were a 4channer instead of a ledditor he would have actually gone through with dumping it instead blizzard contacted him and told him that he has to return the disk or else and scared him off.
>>729887178I know you're just baiting but the best thing that's happened to the FPS genre was when Carmack said "we have to release the source code for Doom, if anyone can beat us we deserve to lose" and everyone thought he was crazy. He was a genius. If this was legit Starcraft source code, it would be a huge benefit to RTS, which is now almost a dead genre anyway.
>>729890002>it would be a huge benefit to RTS, which is now almost a dead genre anyway.Why would it be a huge benefit to RTS. No one is scrambling for a starcraft clone.
>oh no muh RTS slop ahhhh why did he do it ahhh my life is ruinedHave some perspective, fucking nerds.
>Oh no! What will my very poor company do without the source code to some "uncslop" game??? >Give that back right now! They need it! They're about to go bankrupt!
>>729888767When you upload something to the internet there are small delays like tick rates and latency. ISPs record all this data, like you upload a seventeen gigabyte file to w/e website they know how long it took and exactly how it was uploaded but not necessarily the content due to encryption. Thanks to the NSA, investigators don't even need warrants for ISP data and can just pull up the info, with AI this is probably 100x easier nowadays to compare packet traffic. Low and behold, at near that exact same time a seventeen gigabyte file was uploaded from a mcdonolds in bumfuck nowhere. Likely due to network traffic it is somewhat different but a 99% match is essentially a digital fingerprint.However currently the entire process is tedious as fuck and likely only focus on people who leak government secrets and not those who pirate movies/leak game code. Also it depends on other evidence at the scene such as video footage, witnesses, cell phone tower pings, etc. If this becomes a regular thing VPNs could also randomize packet traffic at both ends but currently its cheaper not to.>>729889169Saar, I may be brown but I am from a first world country known as India.
>>729886405the most retarded faggot in starcraft history
>>729887868didn't that one turn out to be a hoax
>>729886530The real answer is that the dude was a lawyer with a wife and kids and not all that into video games who gave it back to the people who made the game because it was the right thing to do. For his trouble he got a free trip to Blizzcon with some merch, had fun with his family and promptly forgot all about it. Nobody actually gives a shit about Starcraft 1 and getting the keys to the kingdom, fucking hell nobody gave a shit about this when it was posted because Starcraft is old as shit and nobody plays it except for Koreans. It was and always will be an excuse to get /v/tards riled up and post about how much cooler their lives would be if they could make STARCRAFT GOLD MASTER EDITION with their retarded balance changes, or maybe get Doom running in Starcraft. Whatever shit people made with it would immediately get shut down by Blizzard because they're using stolen property.
>>729886530He was white, and had the mentality of someone from an high trust society. You 3rd worlders wouldn't get it.
>>729888483nigger he's not saddam hussein
>>729890345Yes.The retard just wanted attention.
>>729890493Yeah he'd like to think the Feds have an entire division dedicated to tracking down leaked vidya codes and the perpetrators whoe leaked it. Great use of taxpayer money there, instead of catching the guy poised to commit 9/11 part 2
Do you really think Blizzard wouldn’t be able to identify who owned the disc once you uploaded it? Do they just hand outsource code CDs to employees and hope nobody is leaking it?
>>729886405blatant viral marketing
>>729890865blizzard wasn't able to identify the person who stole it to begin with, the redditor got it randomly in a box full of blizzard stuff off ebay.if he didn't say anything they literally wouldn't know where what path it took to get where it did, not even the ebay sale.
>>729890220>technobabblegrow up
The best thing you could do with this is make a version of Starcraft with better pathing AI. I tried the remaster and couldn't put up with my units getting stuck on terrain almost every time I issued an order. Of course, it MUST be left this way, as changes would disrupt multiplayer strats that account for the shitty pathing and have been decades in the making. As someone who is only interested in campaign, though, I would like it fixed.
>>729891041and here's the original new article about the disk being lost in 2000. whatever happened to it in the 17 years before it reappeared in some redditor's hands was a complete mystery to them.
>>729891157Just play the Brood War remake in the SC2 engine.
>>729890378Finally someone said it. Starcraft is a great game but it's not THAT big a deal. Most of you faggots don't even play anymore, you just watch other people play in ASL or follow Artosis's jewtube account.
>>729886405This isn't as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be. The game has already been completely reverse engineered and there are a handful of total conversion mods and shit for it. You just never hear about them because they're all really bad. Horrific slavjank kind of bad.
>>729887178Shalom
>>729891157...just have multiple sets of pathing that you can choose from in the lobby or campaign menu
>>729890429and that trust got broken by Jewish blizzard CEOs who destroyed starcraft and gaming culture
