Do you think anything would've happen if it actually got leaked on the web?
>>735161157Nah. Nobody cares.
We could've made our own starcrafts and started a new age of RTS
Is there even one example of leaked source code leading to anything?
>>735161157Yes OP I too saw that video what's next are you gonna talk about the gutted xbox dev kit too?
>>735161385Mario 64 native pc port
>>735161385no. how these engines work isn't some kind of arcane secret.
>>735161157Someone would download it. Screencap this.
>>735161385TF2's and more bots People usually don't work on leaked code as that would give (((lawyers))) the excuse to hunt each and every head that worked on said code post leak. That's why the most successful examples we have of games that were improved upon were usually based on decomps like Mario 64, Banjo, Goemon, etc. and code released under GPL like Doom and Quake.
>>735161385no. one of my favorite games, metal arms a glitch in the system, had its source leak in 2019 and no one ever did anything with it.
>>735161614>People usually don't work on leaked code as that would give (((lawyers))) the excuse to hunt each and every head that worked on said code post leak.So even if the StarCraft Source code got leaked it wouldn't be usable without getting your shit raped legally.
>>735161157no
>>735161887Well Chinks and Ivans don't care much about legal fuckery, but they do care more about Starcraft and other PC classics than say Mario 64. I can imagine them working on it for free and posting online
>>735162183God bless those Chinks and slavs
>>735161385One example that comes to mind is when Super Mario Advance 1's source code got leaked and people discovered the actual names of the instruments used in that game (many of which come from Super Mario World).This eventually led to the creation of "Church of Kondo", where people edit/recreate the songs of many games to replace the sampled instruments with their original sources.https://www.youtube.com/@ChurchofKondoh
>>735161385like what do you expect to come out of the source other than some tidbits about the development?you already have the built product
>>735161157It'd be a curiosity at best. It's piss easy to make something just like it these days, better even.
>>735161453that wasn't a source code leak, it was a decompilation with the expressed purpose of porting the game to other platforms
>>735162594>This eventually led to the creation of "Church of Kondo", where people edit/recreate the songs of many games to replace the sampled instruments with their original sources.Very cool anon, thanks for sharing.
>>7351613851. There are two Wipeout source ports for PC that used the leaked source code.2. The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Grand Theft Auto V were ported to Switch thanks to the leaks.3. They provide interesting development tidbits.Otherwise, not. It's cool when they leak, but it's certainly nothing to lose sleep over.
>>735162964Didn’t the source code leak help accelerate the decomp?
>>735163712NTA. Do you have a single fact to back that up? If that was the case, Nintendo would have a case to take it down, yet they did not.
>>735163712Decomps are automated, anon. The leak did nothing for it.
>>735163712officially the people doing the decomp claimed to have never looked at it and they turned away help from anyone they suspected to have looked at it.
I would have tried to pawn it off to Valve and get myself arrested kek
>>735161385Not leaked. But the source code for freespace was given to the community and they made the freespace open project. Its crazy.
>>735163898and unofficially they definitely used it for reference because it would be stupid not to
>>735164034Almost certainly, but unless they're idiots it's not something you can prove.
>>735161385Spider man 2 brazil
>>735164010NTA. The distinction matters a lot because leaked source code is essentially radioactive. You can't really do much with it in the open.
>>735161157We wouldn't have the atrocity that is Remastered.Fuck everyone that supported that shit and let Blizzard try again with Reforged.
>>735161385Many decomps relied on it. The 3rd Strike decomp is the PS2 port specifically because they had source code from the Capcom leak.
>>735164429Debug symbols ≠ Source code.
>>735161385league source code theft lead to the implementation of vanguard
Would be cool to have something for Starcraft like we have for Diablo with devilution
>>735165247but that wasnt made with leaked source codei think it was just engine reverse engineering its just no one bothered to do it for SC because no one cares about SCbut the guy who gave the disc back to blizzard is a massive faggot sill
>>735161157Yeah, more Starcraft inspired games.
>>735161157Hey I just saw that autistic guy's video too xD were in it together bros.
>>735161385MUGEN
>>735161385Space Station 13
>>735161385mario 64 got a native PC port with it being so heavily optimized that you can load double the real time content than on the base version on the 64
>>735161385Falcon 4.0 AKA Falcon BMS. pretty much the only alternative to DCS if you want to sim gen4 fuckfighters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY4lHUJ1ft0
