Thanks for the code! Now please spend money for skins and unlocks

That source code could have been so valuable. What a tard.

>>375933998
Not really. The BW engine is objectively shit and nothing good would have come out of it. It's not like open sourcing ID Tech engines that are actually open sourced when they're relevant.

Stuff like that is easily worth multiple thousand dollars

Of course you can't just sell it on ebay but overall that guy didn't get the best out of his discovery.

I can't imagine being that much of a cuck in my wildest dreams.

I mean, this guy is more disgusting than Anthony Birch. I don't even give a fuck about Starcraft, but what an absolute slap in the face to anyone who cares about it.

>>375934572
>thousand
He got a fully paid trip to Blizzcon along with a bunch of other shit he can easily flip off on ebay.
You need to ask yourself how much is the source code to an ancient game worth.

There have already been recorded instances of those dev kits, they're not extremely rare, and the chance of it actually having some useful documentation on it was about 0.001%.

You're a fucking pleb of the highest degree

Broodwar is THE single greatest game of our age, only held back by fucking blizzard. Leaking the source code would allow the true fans to open source it and make it even better. Flawless, even.

>>375933863
How the fuck do you "happen upon" the source code?

>>375934098
More for the cultural significance and history than the actual technical secrets I think

>>375934885

>>375935684
Sue what? A fucking link that gets taken down and reuploaded by 50 different people?

There are a million ways to leak something like this without any chance of getting it traced back to you.

Why would anybody pay 5 digits for this? You guys keep saying he lost thousands of dollars, but can you guys direct me to something similar where someone actually got paid that?

>>375935678
reverse engeneered , hacks, general interest (don't want to know how the most successful RTS ever works underneath) , ported to Linux , our own HD remake instead of fucking paying blizzard more money, straight up cool data assets, there are so many uses

Don't forget the diablo bottle opener.

>>375935828
they still have the 12 unit at a time limit so i agree fuck sc remastered

>>375935595
Because it's easy clickbait money, a harmless story like that is going to gather an assload of views and upboats. The company is happy, the intended audience is happy because the guy did "the right thing", the guy is happy because he gets some stuff and a moment of e-fame, and the website owners are happy because they just got some good $$$ for five minutes worth of regurgitating PR garbage.

>>375935859
Sold through the right channels, it would have easily fetched 5 figures. You don't know how much this kind of one-off rare shit goes through, and for such a seminal title?

I mean, it would never have seen the light of day again if he sold it, but at least he'd make some decent money.

All you children have such disdain for Blizzard, but if the shoe was on the other foot, you would be singing a different tune. If it was your hard work and intellectual property, you wouldn't want it to be leaked out in the open. The guy had no right to auction off the source code to the highest bidder, or to give it to the community to spite Blizzard, as penance for whatever slight you think they made against you in the past. The guy did the right thing by returning the code to the company that owns the rights to it, and he was rewarded as a gesture of good will. It's literally nothing, except to serve as good PR for Blizzard.

>>375935706
this is the fucking west at its finest, capitalism ruins everything, every man has a price , could have kept his fucking mouth shut and leaked it on .onion but no im gonna fucking boast to make my epeen bigger

>>375936006
>releasing the source code after already giving the original copy back
How fucking stupid do you have to be

This was the only smart move he could have done.
Trying to sell it on the darknet is asking for troubles and information brokers would have given him jackshit for it because it's such an old game.
The best way to legally make money off of this is to give it back and hope something in return. Trying to blackmail Blizzard would have landed him in jail even faster, like the Valve hackers
Releasing it for free is something only the ultimate cuck would have done.

>>375936090
he bought it , the CD is his property he could do whatever he fucking wanted , its a 19 year old game

>>375936090
You're either a retarded blizzdrone or a shill. It's fucking Blizzard thats reason enough for him to leak the code or sell it.

The disc was reported as stolen property, it still belonged to Blizzard. Even if it wasn't, it's contents are still copyrighted, which means that sharing its contents or selling the disc would be illegal, just as uploading an ISO of a game you bought or selling a pirated copy of a game would also be illegal.
Even if he did absolutely nothing with the disc afterwards he could still get sued by Blizzard and be forced to give it back to them. Returning the disc was the right choice.

>>375933863
What else could you expect from a Blizzfag.

>>375935435

subjective as fuck.

>people think this shit isn't worth anything

Retards.
If it wasn't worth anything Blizzard wouldn't hype up their shitty remastered so much. There is lots of money to be made. And the internet suddenly having the ability to create something better than Blizzard would be a massive desaster for Blizzard.

>>375936240
I don't understand your logic. By virtue of the company being Blizzard, they deserve to have their code leaked. But if we apply that same morality to you, would it be okay? If you were a game designer, would it be okay to leak your code? If not, then why is it okay to leak Blizzard's code?

>>375935563
Or he could do both. I tossed out the Final Fantasy 10 beta you can find on the internet, and even after release I've gotten offers as much as $2500 for the authentic disc. I'm keeping it though...

>>375936478
Yes, that's the point.
If you try to flip a profit off of PRISM shit you're a scumbag that deserves to be hanged.
If you profit from some shitty game source code you're doing the right thing

He didn't need to take that risk, so he didnt. Sending it back is a simple idea. If he uploaded it to your favorite file-sharing site, he would have got nothing in return. Instead he his 250 credit on a platform he clearly likes, a trip to blizzcon and drinks with the blizzcon staff. Hell if he's lucky he'll get a job there too.

Shut up. You know nothing about what you're taking about. I've uploaded multiple betas, and have never heard of anybody getting sued hard. That's rare even when leaking games pre-release.

Might not had much value, but certainly a korean eccentric rich guy would pay top dollar for it.

That said, i dunno if Starcraft even is that big anymore over there.

There's also the risk of legality and all. If you sell something like that for big bucks, it will make the news and get the attention of the company.

>>375938248

that's not how you land a fucking job at blizzrd.

>>375936090
I am sure the original Blizzard devs who have not been promoted to leadership positions, and get paid the same salary, would love their code to be openly available.

Does blizzard wanted it so they can destroy it?

>>375938331

hey fagget, I literally know someone that works there. blizzard has very strict rules for employing new people.

>he thinks blizzard works like some tiny indie cuck studio

>>375938551

Don't bother trying to explain this to retards, they think giant corporations are some kind of group of small, poor devs that deeply care what happens to the things they create.

At least we know Blizzard still has a loyal fanbase of retards that lap up their sloppy sewage waste for peanuts like game credits, and Overhype DLC.

>>375938581

>>375938423
You're sure? You don't know jack shit. I am sure Blizzard wants to horde all their secrets to themselves to milk every last dime out of people.

>>375938830
I'm just trying to give the situation the Golden Rule test. Are you implying that after a business reaches a certain size, they cease to care about their products? Since Blizzard was bought by Activision, they deserve to have their source code leaked? It's childish. Starcraft is the most pirated game of all time and anyone who wants to play it on demand, can.

>>375939143
Do not respond to retards. I don't even think this nigger knows what a public library is.

Both are practically worth fucking nothing, but the second option gets your ego stroked for the next 10 years and makes a corporation assmad.

>I am sure Blizzard wants to horde all their secrets to themselves to milk every last dime out of people.
If by "Blizzard" you mean the jew Morhaime and all the retarded shareholders at Activison, because the original devs who made Starcraft and were paid for it 20 years ago would be happy if the people got their code.

Cameras have a time stamp, so does anything you access with wifi cause servers. Align camera time with access time and you'll have a window to see who was there when upload was made.

Then you just investigate the suspects. If you were the only person there using a pc at the time, then you are suspect #1. It's how they caught the boston bombers.

>>375939297
you're a moron. stop sucking jew cock

Why are blizzard fans the worst?

>>375940024
An all expense paid trip to somewhere he wanted to go and several hundred dollars in stuff for his desktop are worth nothing?

Are you fucking retarded?

>>375940148
I do bookkeeping for a bar, and I have 2 friends.

>>375939906
True that, pleasing a few faggots online is worth 50 times the cost of that other shit.

You'd have to PAY me to go to fucking blizzcon, you pathetic cuck. A free trip would be too expensive.

Just found mother 3 for n64 and returned it. Found runescape classic source code last year and made sure to destroy it. I'm a real life super hero

Stay outside in your car while being close enough to connect, and then dispose of whatever device you were using immediately afterwards?

What is the final solution to the reddit question?

>>375940167
And how would you end up on the suspects list if you paid cash and told the barista a fake name?

>>375940259
But YOU didn't have the source code. Someone that wanted to go to blizzcon had the source code. And he gets to go, somewhere he wants for free.

>>375940179
you couldn't articulate a response beyond a pejorative and a kneejerk lol le jew meme "down with the corporations" shit. I think you're the moron, buddy

fuck you, you big bitch, I did come from reddit, so what? I'm not going back, no matter how many memes you post. You're going to be posting with redditors for the rest of your stay here, so you better get used to it.

>>375940179
Except the guy that returned the source code is getting something he always wanted. A trip to blizzcon. Maybe you didn't want that, but you didn't have the source code did you?

>>375940472
Idk, he got what was literally impossible for him.

So? If a guy sold a box of pirate treasure for a pack of peanuts, does that mean he's a winner because he really wanted some peanuts?

He's an objective retard, and he traded away a lifetime of bragging rights for an empty weekend of soulless corporatism.

>>375940431
Considering /v/ and Reddit are pretty identical the solution is for you to stop posting

>>375940551
You're god damn right I came from Reddit™. I wear it like a badge of honor. I earned my stripes in the orange red and periwinkle battlegrounds of the reddit of yesterday. Before that, I posted on SomethingAwful. Today, I find myself here, confronted by nasty trolls like you. I will be bullied no longer! No longer will you push me and my brothers around! Today, we unite against you. I'm coming for you, so be afraid.

>>375940854
He traded a lifetime of meaningless (to him) bragging rights for a weekend he'll always remember that he initially could never go to.

Yeah he totally lost out on that deal. RIP his epeen.

>>375940580
Blizz intern said he (((found it on ebay))) and got it from a (((former employee))) who was cleaning out an old storage locker

>>375940854
No, he traded away getting sued by blizzard for some money. Wow, what a shitty deal :DDDDD

>>375940551
You're just proving his point you twit, can you fucking use your brain for even one second

>>375940854
Do you know how expensive a trip to blizzcon is, especially since he's from the east coast? Plus the tickets are sold out in seconds. And he's always wants to go

To him, he won that deal. The CD was meaningless to him but this trip won't be. Why does anyone here think he should give a fuck about anon when he could please himself?

>>375941142
reddit I told you to shut the fuck up

>>375933863
>showered with gifts

Yeah, well worth it. Blizzard should've at least given him free life time entry/travel/lodging for Blizzcon.

Isn't Starcraft getting a remaster soon? The source code gets found and sent back just in time for this, and Blizzard gets to show their benevolence by gifting the guy who found it? Yeah uh huh.

It's not their hard work, all the devs who made the original games are long gone from act-blizz.

That CD is completely worthless to me, I don't even like SC. But I would have leaked it in a heartbeat, source code deserves to be free.

>>375942117
Next time you get the source code that's what you should do

You guys are like crabs trying to hold each other down. This guy got lucky and found a valuable CD and you guys want him to leak it on the internet for "cool kids points". Why would he ever do that, so he can stay with you shitters at the bottom of the barrel? No thanks.

>>375942865
Fuck they got them all. Niggers, ponies and everything in-between.

>>375942857
He found a valuable CD and sold it for peanuts to literally the worst possible owner.

I would have preferred this to go into the hands of some oil arab collector cunt, sealed in a vault until the disc rot set in. Sending it back to Blizzard is by far the worst possible outcome for every single person involved.

>>375941628
yeah man. literally no one in history has ever written for a codebase that they didn't work on from the start by themselves. open source, nugets(or any 3rd party library), getting a job at a company that already has a product in progress, all that shit is complete lies

The sheer amount of hate this cunt is getting makes me wonder if he actually regrets being this retarded

One good thing has come out of this, next time someone comes across some rare source code, they will probably just torrent it instead of being a good goy

>>375942953
what about nintentoddler? that one was fucking weak but I saw it get a lot of use

>>375942953
did they get ponyggers?

>>375941762
As soon as you eat the peanuts outta my sheeit.

So how would one go about selling the disc?

>>375941279
How many peanuts are we talking about? Are they salted? Can I get Macadamia nuts instead ?

It would sure be a shame if this guys photo album of his illegal weed growing operation were found and there was to be an investigation, couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy?

so because he has a few drinks with people at blizzard and they say thank you for returning our code, there's gonna be possibly a job offer?

>>375943215
shit man , what state is he in?

>>375943071
He got a free trip to somewhere he's always wanted to go. Even if he questions it now, he'll be damn happy in november.

/v/ can get retarded about certain things.

Yeah. They may not do it immediately, but if he has the background knowing someone his 50% of getting a fucking job worth keeping. Keep in mind you clearly don't actually know the story.

Lol

>>375943186
Going to the Darkweb

>>375943448
the difference is you can actually buy tickets to that. even if he's too poor today, it's feasibly attainable. that disc was a once in a lifetime chance, and quite possibly the only chance anyone alive outside of blizzard will ever see one

>>375943215

>>375934885
I don't care for the XBox now that Luke got his hands on an OG XBox Debug Kit and the emulator is getting much closer than ever (you can check this shit here https://www.patreon.com/LukeUsher). Also, I've tested Panzer Dragoon Orta today, it's already in-game at fullspeed (but with HEAVY visual glitches, so it's still not playable)

>>375943835
If You read his story you'd know he's been trying for quite sometime.
Between plane tickets and actually getting a fucking ticket (they sell out in seconds) it probably wasn't going to happy before he becomes an old man.

He got what he wanted, full stop

>>375943835
Once in a lifetime chance at what? Getting the source code to a 20 year old game? HOLY SHIT SO EPIC

Less than a day, especially shit like PS4 and XBONE games.

it might happen eventually but it could take a shitty amount of time. unless you also had a devkit and documentation, none of the code would be usable or even probably make sense

>>375944950
Lol

Put it this way, there's a reason developers put in time and effort into just deciding whether or not to port a game.
