So the source code is like all the programming written for the game?

Whats a decompiler? Is the data in a game somehow encrypted or not accessible in any pure way?

Explain to a layman

>>60214008
Dump it, return it, don't say a thing to anyone even if I got $250 worth of free stuff.
A few weeks later, leak the dump to VideoCardz.com, and let VC handle the rest.

Anonymously upload to throwaway GitHub account. Make post on 4chan telling everyone to download before it gets taken down.

People keep saying lawyers lawyers lawyers. That is only a problem if there's a way for them to find out who uploaded it. You can use public WiFi, proxies, vpns, etc... to mask your identity when uploading shit.

Say we all get to see and study the source code of 19 year old game.
Then what? What exactly can be accomplished with this code?

>>60214357

Wait, would going back require some amazing computing power? Isnt it just pure machine logic?

>>60214065
You're too eager, chimpmunk.

Yeah, he could have leaked this. To what end? Starcraft is just fine as it is, who the fuck needs source for a game this old?

What are you gonna do with this? Create Starcraft total conversions? What a benefit to mankind.

I don't see what benefit it would serve other than working out cheats for the game, if even that.

But alright, do that edgy holier-than-thou freetard shit. You're impressing the crowd, keep it up.

On top of all this, keep in mind it's entirely likely that it never really happened. It just so happens that a reddit karmawhore finds this just as Starcraft is being re-released?

>Giv food or car analogy

a plate with food is the source code
a digested turd is the compiled machine code

using microscopes and science and shit you can discover the type of food and stuff it was before being a turd, but you cannot convert the turd into actual food again

>>60214634

Not him, but here's car.

Source code is more like a box full of bits and instructions. Once car is made, drive it off and throwaway instructions. Taking the car apart again doesn't give you the same instructions back - the originals were thrown away. But you can write a similar set of instructions to help build it a second time

Why is everyone talking about source code?
Gold masters don't contain any source, it's the final build that gets sent to manufacturing for copying, why the fuck would it contain source?

Here's the guy's reasoning. Sure, he could have satisfied curiosity for some, or he could have just returned it to the owner.

compile with -g, the application gets a little bigger, but you can view the symbols in a debugger, making everything readable.
You can pause the application and print data as you like.

Ok, let me get this straight.

20 year old Starcraft source code is found just as Starcraft is being re-released.

It just so happens that it is found by a reddit user willing to post about it.

It just so happens that reddit is a notorious shilling ground for interests big and small.

It just so happens that this reddit user decides to return the source code and proceeds to post about how Blizzard rewarded him for it.

And it just so happens that this happens during the short period in which Blizzcon tickets are being sold:

"On March 14, Blizzard Entertainment announced that BlizzCon 2017 will be held on November 3 and 4, with tickets being available to purchase on April 5 and April 8 using the ticketing service Universe. The prices for both admission and the benefit dinner will remain at $199 and $750 respectively. The date which Virtual Tickets will be sold is currently unknown.[43]"

I don't put this tinfoil hat on myself, it's practically forced on me.

>>60214144
>we need more antifa-communism-collectivist-thinking values on the internet

>>60214463
Implementing the game for many systems, fixing problems in the game (balance issues or just bugs), studying the game developer's coding practices and comments if there are any, modding the game from the base, looking for any methods / algorithms used that would have never been leaked + are really good... You can probably think of a lot of interesting activities to do with this source. If you're not a negative nancy, that is.

>give back to original owner FOR FREE
>post on reddit for internet points

The rightful owner is everyone. Proprietary is like being mugged (Carmack's words, not mine). Don't understand why some people enjoy it.

Compiler optimization, intentional obsfucation by the programmers before compiling (running source code through an obsfucator to produce code that does the same thing just unrecognizable), no comments, other reasons as well.

You can try decompiling something and see what it produces, you can follow what goes on but it's extremely difficult because of the scale of code and lack of comments or meaningful variable/function names.
