If this game got leaked in the 2000s then why aren't there any surviving files today?

I know Valve back then was like Nintendo is today but come on, not even a screenshot?

Because no one cared and the Valve beta community is infested with trannies who try to gaslight the internet into thinking this is some epic tale of game preservation and lost media when it's just a bad game time forgot because it wasn't worth remembering

Let me guess

If half-life never released you would say the same

The whole "lost media" shit online is just finding dogshit no one ever cared about and no one will care about in a week
Wake me up when they rediscover something that was actually culturally important but was memory holed for some reason

>everyone I dislike is a queermo
or, get this, popular games have fans who are interested in what alternate-reality versions of games were like and want to have fun playing them?

Because the internet back then was shite & most pracy happened offline

It's probably in the hands of some private collector who refuses to give it unless they are given a couple of hundreds or even thousands of dollars

some tranny might be holding it hostage, you never know

>>718909551 (OP)
Because aside from the hoarders, after TF2 2007 came out, nobody cared enough to wonder what could've been if the original version came out, considering how generic it was in comparison to the one we got, so the demands ain't exactly there either.

Your mom gang sextapes?

Funny how what was considered generic back then would be quite refreshing now. I'd pay money for a game that looks like a HL mod without being strcticly speaking that.

>>718909551 (OP)
Better question why hasn’t any copies of Army TC turned up that mod was huge in the Dark Forces II community and while it was never completed there was beta releases that were played regularly.

Imagine being ok with the old Internet being destroyed because it’s not related to culture war shit. You realise that the woke left want to purge and censor all forms of past culture and media including the remains of freer more open web we used to have. That anything from the old Internet is well worth preserving and that old Internet has been culturally purged by woke corporations.

The Internet back then was awesome far freer, fare more creative and the websites were actually good, Geocities, Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Answers, Fortune City, Angelfire, old modding sites, classic YouTube, forums, MySpace, Bebo and much more.

Playing videogames? Being a fan of games? having fun?
What the fuck are you talking about you retarded tourist

/pol/ is the other way

You criticizing only the one side is what gave you away.

>>718915569
How could I not? The woke left hold most of the blame for purging the old Internet and hold the view that past culture must be erased.
