They still should have given him a job, someone like that is who you want on your side.

yeah i was pretty disappointed when i didn't see at the end of the story
"and then valve hired me!"

Seems a bit much, squad of armed SWAT members with automatic weapons pointed at his head because....He leaked a game? Did the same thing happen to the guy who leaked crysis 2? and bulletstorm? and killzone 3? and spore? and sims 3?
It may have been a good thing that SWAT team got him before he got on a plane to America.

And Alaska's 90 year prison sentences for murder (:frog: Sarah Palin)
I like how when this happened to Valve, they went after the man responsible.
But when this happened to EA, they blamed the gamers and whined.
I'm surprised that the police allowed him to have something to eat.
Valve should still give this guy a job. Newell is being a bit of a douche- I understand that its the work of his life, but at least contact him after the whole deal.

They raided his house, held guns to his head... But it's fine for him to grab a bite to eat before he leaves.
[QUOTE=BloodYScar;28207265]I can finally see the truth. THATS why Valve keeps fuckin with my uncensored games, THATS why they chose to censor them at all, and THATS why we germans pay 1€ for 1$![/QUOTE]

He didnt leak the game, he leaked the materials/models maps and src for the tools and game engine, thats where the problem lied, the source code is VERY important as other people could have stolen it and used it in their own projects
[QUOTE=amgoz1;28215037]For someone smart enough to hack into Valve, sharing the code of the most awaited game of that time and not expecting it to get spread he was incredibly stupid and naive.[/QUOTE]
did you read it
he didnt distribute the code his friend did
that's what he wrote

The Welsh hate the English (I can't remember why, they just sorta do)
The Scots hate the English (Just ask Queen Mary)
The Irish hate the English (The Troubles etc)
The French hate the English (Hundred years war, battle of agincourt, napolean etc)
The Germans hate the English (WW1 + WW2)
The Spanish hate the English (Spanish Armada)
The Italians hate the English (Roman occupation)
We have friendly rivalries with just about every country in Europe on account of our thousands of years of war
But for some reason the Americans love us, despite them having fought a war against us. Maybe it's 'cause they see us as a sort of kid brother (something the English tend to resent)
Also the Japanese, Chinese (we owned hong kong) various African countries (Either told to hate the English by the French/Germans/Spanish or colonised by the English) Egypt, Tunisia, Russia, most of Eastern Europe, Portugal... and now we've added Iraq and Afghanistan to the list of countries who ain't too hot on us, but don't quite have a rivalry yet.
But we cool with Sweden, Denmark and Canada for some reason.[/QUOTE]
North America will trade UK for Mexico.
Glad I don't live in Germany.
It's reassuring that he wasn't trying to be a douche about it, and he's gone to be a successful security engineer.
I wonder what his Steam name is?

He grabbed a fucking knife to cut some fucking bread, he's a psycho alright.

Are you joking?
Didn't you read the part where he went downstairs to cut some bread with a knife, smoke a cig, and have a cup of coffee while they all pointed guns at him?
Clearly they needed all those guns, because this guy is a born bad-ass

Didn't they have all the guns because they thought he had links with the guy who created that harmful virus?
Wouldn't you think that Valve would learn to meet deadlines after something like this?
I thoroughly enjoyed that article, good read.
Amazing read indeed.
I've always wondered about this. Now we need some news about the Crysis 2 robbery.

I think we all know he could have trow the knife at the first police officer, ninja'd the bullets from the other police officers, grabbed the dead cops gun and killed them all and uncover the whole conspiracy!
Now it makes sense why America get's the game before the rest of the world
The last line of the article tore me up

Also, I did enjoy the article.
Wow. Really not that bad of a guy it seems. Valve should have hired him afterwards to have him secure their servers from hackers n shit.
And also, what would have happened if he'd gotten onto the plane? I don't get that quite yet.
