Thanks for a good post, especially thank you for not revealing many details, just telling us the state of this copy.

The press release published did not contain [April], this must have been added by Gamespot on pure speculation. (Or they know something they are not telling) Either way, that was ugly!

Same as any other piece of software in such a pirate market, about $1 to $2. Pick the software you want, Windows XP, Office, games etc, wait 10 minutes and you have your disc(s).

Well, someone has to prove it then. I mean, it's like being accused in court and admit the crime instead of having the prosecutor prove it.

Seriously, you want me to beleive this? You want me to beleive $6+ million USD is paid by ATI to include the game with shipping graphics cards only to know it's not going to ship for ages? BS. ATI thought this, for $6 million they would have known if it was late. It wasn't late, it got late due...

And how on earth would Valve be able to predict a source code theft 6 months before it takes place? Why don't people remember the most likely cause of this delay, amnesia or what? In due time, after release of the game, I'm sure the whole horrible story will surface and we will all forgive...

Generally, images are copyright of the publisher, or whomever they mention has copyright below the picture. So NO pictures can be scanned and posted here legally. Text can be *quoted*, this is general practice. Quoting means sentences and/or paragraphs, not full articles or large portions of...

The point is, if the hackers come from the lower end of the social scale, or being young, or come from a poor country, there should be people around that person that would gladly tell for that amount of money.

Liek with drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, smoking, hobbies etc, it's the addiction.

Microsoft hasn't found the SoBig and Blaster virus authors either, despite the $25 000 rewards.

Ha, you're one of those that will be surprised one day... Sure, if you don't want your bike stolen, lock it. Guess what, thiefs exist! Valve never released anything, they were broken into and stolen from. In the US, you are allowed to shoot a trespasser trying to steal your apples...

Why not? If they do not abide the law, they should be shut down. This has happened many times through history, a small rock tripping a giant. Just because we haven't seen anything like this yet, doesn't mean it will never happen, sometime will be the first. So never think "I'm just doing what...

Today Thursday in the US/Canada, as in Thursday evening if you live in Europe, or early Friday night if you live in Asia.

First, don't think so much. Valve has delayed the game until "holiday season" this year, nothing else. Valve decides when the game is done, not Vivendi or hackers or anyone else. Secondly, a deal worth 6 MUSD covers all aspects of delivery dates, rest assure. There are timelines for delays...

BS, it's the issuer of the credit card that loses the money.

HL2 was first announced in April this year. Release date was finally set at 30 September. Since then Valve has announced ONE (1) delay, it is delayed until "holiday season". That's it. Maybe you are tired of the HL2.net forum delay threads?

The big problem is the lack of segmentation! This General Discussion should be split into a number of different groups and new ones should be started as things evolve: * Game physics * Monsters * AI * Weapons * Art, graphics and audio * Multiplayer * TF2 * CS(2) * PC Hardware *...

Yes, but the whole question seems aimed at finding out who does not trust Valve after they lost their source code. But for someone who never payes over Internet it doesn't matter, so these should have two different options.

Look, the benchmark was coming, the last 3 BINK movies were going to come after Steam 1.0 release, the game was going to be released September 30. Guess what? one week before all this an idiot breaks into Valve and every single employee at Valve is now busy with damage control and investigations...

The poll is missing a very important alternative: * I never give credit card details over Internet, no matter what
