What was his motivation?

>>713236104 (OP)
a retarded onions faggot for sure

>Turn it in
>Gett free shit

>put it on the internet
>Get nothing

Not getting is dick sued off.

I would have done the same thing
>risk legal action for updoots for this shit that only gooks play
yeah, no

>>713236104 (OP)
He got more from Blizzard than he would've gotten if he'd leaked it.

he fucked up the momeny he uploaded that pic on reddit. Blizzard then would be able to track him down if he didn't comply with ther demands.
In summary, kill all redditors

>>713236190
black skin
>gibs me sumthin

>>713236258
Is that not why you're mad at him in the first place? Because you wanted something for free?

>>713236420
oooh burn

>>713236420
Except it would've been for an entire community you fucking dreg

>>713236462
the community could have totally made a new game from that code that got shut down instantly poggers

>>713236561
>poggers
Oh I'm arguing with a child. Go watch Forsen or something, you've never even played sc.

>>713236104 (OP)
>What was his motivation?
not going to jail.
i mean yeah he couldve risked uploading it from a starbucks public wifi on a burner laptop in a CCTV blindspot, but he wouldnt've gained anything.
if he tried to make money from selling it, he wouldve been caught eventually.

modding aside if we had the source code for this at the time would there have been a million knock off clones? what kind of shit did SC do that was a technical moat?

>>713236104 (OP)
Soiboy did it for the updoots from the plebbit mob. Even then, the faggot could have very easily made a duplicate look a like of the CD to reveal he "faked" the whole thing. Then pass the real CD onto leakers like a year later. Or leak it himself if his retarded ass grasps the basic concepts of precautions to cover his tracks

>>713236104 (OP)
Publicity stunt. Now instead of getting free merch you get the privilege of paying for it every time someone at ActiBlizz fucks up.

>>713236642
i don't think people even say poggers or kappa anymore.

here is your $20 gift card to Chili's thank you very much

>give it to opensource trannies and maybe go to jail or some shit over bullshit laws
>or get some shit for it
who cares

>>713236796
nothing would have happened except the battle net servers would have gone down for matchmaking because people could make your computer explode with arbitary code execution

>>713236939

the only reason he would have been caught was he was retarded enough to go ask on reddit
if he posted a download link here on 4chan they would have never ever found who he was

>>713236939
Flee to worst korea, trade it for one hundred million gook bucks

>>713237016
>implying

>>713236796
Seen what happens when popular, and simple enough, games have their source code released you would get everything from source ports to total conversions to mechanic enhancements. Like being able to select more then 12 units at a time. which is a big part of the gookclicker APM spam.

Like main reason doom 1 and 2 have still presence today is its humongous modding community. Including fully fledged stand alone gsmes or derivatives like sulaco or ashes

>>713237016
Even after the plebbit stunt he could have very easily staged the whole thing to look like it was faked with a look a like cd while hiding the real one

>>713237016
>if he posted a download link here on 4chan they would have never ever found who he was
are we pretending 4chan has anonymity outside of naming conventions

They only got away with it because Carmack was big on open sourcing it for preservation. Cunts today would not even let the mere mention of that word pass by anyone's lips without cutting them off with a hacksaw. If Bethesda had their way they would've gone back on that shit years ago.

>>713237065

ok smart faggots, please link me the names of all the people who posted any of the Nintendo leaks, because not even a fucking corporation could catch these guys, you idiots

upvotes
like all reddit faggots
they don't have any genuine passion, just want to see the karma number go up

the starcraft remaster was only possible because of him

Just put Tails OS on USB stick dumbshit

>i mean yeah he couldve risked uploading it from a starbucks public wifi on a burner laptop in a CCTV blindspot, but he wouldnt've gained anything.
Or simply use a vpn and upload it somewhere
And no, the police isn't going to get a warrant to get his IP address because he uploaded the source code of a discontinued video game from 20 years ago
he fucked up the moment he posted about it on reddit though

>>713238478
>your favourite game gets revived with a huge wave of mods and other community projects

More like

>a bunch of unstable trannies attempt to make mods that never take off
>a bunch of stupid fucking retards on /v/ only talk about the drama and lament "THE GOOD OL DAYS"
>Maybe 5 autists in a discord host 24/7 servers that no one gets on

The worst part is that the fags bitching about not getting a free game is that they would have turned in that shit too for their gibs.

>>713236190
Or he could just sell it for a lot of money

>>713237507
a shame but it was inevitable. imagine the morale kill when your game is the stepping stone for the next genre trend like moba and battle royales.

>>713236796
>what kind of shit did SC do that was a technical moat?
nothing
existing open source RTS engines are better than the SC source code

>>713236220
This
>lookid me reddit! Haha updoot me! Look at my heckin gold disc!
Real anons would have dumped it to MEGA and posted the magnet here.

>>713238789
I would leak the code just to spite blizzard

>>713239040
>imagine the morale kill when your game is the stepping stone for the next genre trend like moba and battle royales.
Poor shareholders as if they haven't endured enough floppas already kek. Nothing that a bit nepotism fueled tax breaks and money laundering can't solve desu.

>>713236104 (OP)
honestly think it could've been a publicity stunt and manufactured. Don't believe for a second that someone actually put this in a "Old box full of Blizzard related stuff" and sold it without knowing what it was
