It has intellectual property on it that belongs to Blizzard that was purposefully meant to be kept internal. It's their disk. Besides, their big dick lawyers could come up with something.

>>375941535
According to a different article a bunch of redditors called him scummy for not returning it rather than rip it and put it on the internet for free. These are the guys who come here now.

>>375941575
It legally isn't the property of the original OP. It's still under Blizzard/Activision's legal rights to take the disc away, ESPECIALLY if it's source code.

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.

>>375940157
Wait they only get a free trip to blizzcon and nothing else? What the fuck, how much is the source code worth to Blizzard?

I hope this faggot gets raped. Fuck him, and modern ActivBlizz.

>Well but can't you see it from a program? I mean all the code needed for the game are on the disk, otherwise you wouldn't be able to install it, would you?

Okay, I don't know how to explain this to somebody who clearly doesn't understand programming, but the code on the game disc is compiled into executable machine code that's essentially gibberish to humans. Source code is code that hasn't yet been compiled, it's in a form that is readable by humans. The difference between the two is like night and day.

>>375943992
if you read the story he gave them the source code already months ago. (its more about him getting a free trip to blizzcon recently)
Recently they patched the original starcraft and made it free.

The files for the source code are uncompressed, decrypted files easily accessible.

The files on a normal disk are usually converted to a format impossible to read / decrypt without a special .exe or some other shit to read them and run the game.

Decompiling is actually a thing, sort of, but it only reconstructs an approximation of the source code that was originally written. There are also ways to fuck up decompilers by obfuscating your syntax but I think that's mostly done in malware to prevent the cybercops from working out what your virus is doing.

Right, machine code is machine code regardless of what language the source code was in, but you can translate an executable 1 to 1 with assembly and then analyze that to get an idea of what it's going to do when you run it, and in some cases it's possible to automate some of that process.

It's not about him doing a "nice thing". The reward he got was worthless compared to the actual value of that source code.

God Ledditors are so fucking retarded. Reading through the asshole's thread, almost everyone is complimenting him on how amazing he is for doing the right thing. Thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/68xzxt/starcraft_gold_master_source_code_update/

Do these idiots not see the value in the source code? They must equate this to piracy or something - as if there haven't already been Starcraft pirates for decades. It's more than that. It's an opportunity for modders to create new content which, if anything, will help Starcraft in the long run.

The second highest upboated comment says "Thank you for doing this. Fuck all the greedy pigs crying about wanting the source". Do they not realize that Blizzard are the greedy pigs here? Starcraft came out 19 years ago. It's probably older than the majority of these Redditors. I can understand not pirating a brand new game, truly. Believe me or not, I've never pirated a videogame before. But I'm 100% for releasing the source code for a 19 year old game.

>>375945903
Dude. It's fucking Starcraft. It turned the RTS upside down, body slammed it, and completely redefined the segment. Even people who hate the game can acknowledge what a Megalodon it is. This is the vidya equivalent of finding an original copy of the Bible or getting to have a 10 minute AMA with Jesus. Yeah, there are other games where it would be "better" for their long lost source code to be found, but this one is just so fucking out there, it's almost physically staggering (don't actually get physically staggered because that would be weird...)

>>375945813

See >>375946515 if you really need money. Why stop at 1k when you can have an easy 10? The internet will forget about you, and they'll use that source code for a solid 4 weeks before it's gone forever. Be a little more selfish

>You can be happy for him
I can't actually. His personal life doesn't have the slightest effect on mine, meanwhile seeing the source code of an old-ass game I played as a young lad does have the slighest degree of importance in my life as a vidya enthusiast. Maybe I'm just an autistic fedora but at the end of the day, he gained something at the expense of everyone else losing something. I can't be happy about that.

Didn't it occur to him to, you know, keep a copy of the source code? On a micro SD or something, that's practically free in every fucking Coke on 7-Eleven? No?

>>375946765
Everyone didn't lose something, since they never had it to begin with. And they never would have. Ultimately this changes nothing to the general public and ONLY makes his life better

You can't lose what you never had. He gained at the expense of your life being unchanged.

It's a free game and was also cracked two decades ago so I am sure he didn't slightly care

The only reason the disk would be valuable is as a collector's item. Don't pretend like blizzard's shitty Brood War pathing could revolutionize all modern vidya if only available online.

It's the opposite actually.

It's more like if someone was selected to win a million dollars, but he decided to give it back to the gameshow (rich private company), and you whine that he could have given it to you instead.

Why are you entitled to receive it? You didn't win or get selected for shit.
How is he a thief? He didn't take anything from you or from anyone else.

>>375947121
Because the only value SC has is all in its pristine state. Sure, probably some guy would make a an open-sc project with support for widescreen resolution and such (shit already available with hacks, but whatever), get like 200 downloads, but no one would really play it much. People outside korea are barely interested in playing it and Koreans only care about multiplayer. If only he did find that sourcecode a decade earlier, then it would be the shit. The disk has much more value as a collector's item than the data on it

>>375945718
What do Koreans care about the source code? They're obsessed with the vanilla game as it is, not with mods.

This shitty analogy doesn't work because he wouldn't have given it to me, or you. He would have given it to EVERYONE.

So it's more like a company offering you 200 million dollars on the condition you give 199 million away to 199 other people, and you decide to just return all the money because you hate every single other person on the planet.

Yes, we're decades past its release. People still play SC1, even more so with the recent fucking announcement of Blizzard doing a cross-compatible remake of the original.
You're depriving the community of a tool that could go anywhere, it's not up to you to decide if it does or doesn't.

stop reposting this, fucking faggot

There isn't anything wrong with him returning it. What's wrong is him receiving any public recognition for it and adulating in it. It makes it seem like he did the right thing not because he believed it to be morally correct but because he knew he would receive fake internet points for it, as well as being able to stroke his ego over it. A truly moral person would have just returned it and quietly accepted any reward Blizzard chose to give or even returned it anonymously and asked for/accepted no reward for doing so. That's what really bothers me about this. The dude didn't do it because he thought it was he right thing to do, he did it for a potential reward and recognition. Nobody should ever be praised for doing what they're supposed to do.

>>375948243
Story on the first two?

>>375947985
Doom was always a great platform for modding and source code for it only opened new doors for new wad possibilities. People still enjoy Doom because of how much content was created throughout the years, not because they play plutonia for 100 times. SC legacy, however, is very multiplayer oriented. Multiplayer that only works because of inane decisions at Blizzard back in the day. Again, SC only has its value in the priscine state, there are number of mods, none of them are that popular. There are much better platforms if you want to create something than fucking Starcraft.

Do you lack reading comprehension? I didn't agree with or disagree with his choice. There was inherently nothing wrong with him returning it if he felt that was the morally correct choice. However I question if he really did feel that it was morally correct because it looks like he only returned it for good boy points. Personally I wish he hadn't returned it or at least posted it online first. My statement about someone being praised for doing what they are supposed to means that if he thought that he was morally obligated to return it then he should not be praised or accepting of any reward. The dude is a fucking virtue signaling faggot and I hope he dies a painful death. Your tirade about the injustices of IP and copyright law have nothing to do with my post, since my post is entirely about the mans supposed morality and the moral thing to do.

He was retarded for posting the disk photos to begin with. Surely there must be an SC/collector fanatic that is willing to buy a sourcecode for $$$ for his own reasons or just as a part of gaming legacy. But no, he had to prove to everyone, he had to be an attention whore.

>>375948845

Blizzard couldn't have done anything. From his stance he owned the disk. Bizzard can't take the disk just because they have source code on there. Of course they could've fucked him if he did something with the contents.

I thought people gave redditors a tough time just to be mean, but no, it's completely deserved.

This has to be fake.
Why would a DVD with "STARCRAFT(tm) Gold Master Source Code" even exist?

>>375949723
He'd remain the target of Blizzard
day and night until he destroys the disk or "magically loses it" / theft. The latter could've worked if not intentional or handling the disk loosely.

Anyone arguing he could've fenced off legal action is an absolute retard, though.

>>375949830
Don't do anything illegal, you specifically will be caught

If a group of modders fixed some of the retarded buggy nuances of Brood War that are basically just artifacts of working to a deadline, would be people get up in arms about it?

Blizzard burned a copy for themselves

>>375950012
More likely it is a CD. Its on a disk cause back then it was the only means of backing up data aside from tape drives.

>>375949835
The have to prove it's their property. But there's no proper labeling about that there. They haven't filed for a stolen asset. There's nothing about the disk that proves it's theirs. The source code could've been copied there by anyone.
By all accounts, he owned the physical disc.

>>375949802
Copyright doesn't pertrain to exact file but rather the sum of all. Thus just because the copyright code is on the disc doesn't make the disc property of Blizzard.

/thread

Fuck off kids and go shitpost in one of the many piracy threads we have everyday.

All the source code would do is allow some gooks to find some more exploits & abuse it in a tournament & cause a massive shit storm, no one is going to create content for fucking SC1

>>375948297
Kys obvious tourist

>>375950056
Going secretive, delaying release, or releasing in parts, using encryption and proxies to deliver the source code is actually feasible.

But certainly not going on Reddit. Not any public imageboard either.

>>375949802
Laser print a dud.
>Your honor, I swear to god it was the legit one. I thought Reddit was gonna call out on my bullshit once I posted it, since I have no idea what the source disk looks like. Apparently I had hit gold!
Lose the original to a random stranger that knows the importance of this shit. And NOT from fucking Reddit.

>>375947973
I don't know why I assumed most people would do exactly what you said, but after reading through this thread it really shows that millennials deserve the shit going with games these days (Day One DLC, Early Access, Roullete Boxes).

>>375950174
>The have to prove it's their property
It's copyrighted, the only thing they have to prove that the source code is indeed on a disk, which isn't hard to do.

>They haven't filed for a stolen asset.
Maybe they did, who knew how many years have passed.

>The source code could've been copied there by anyone.
It doesn't matter, the source code itself is theirs. It doesn't matter on what data storage device it happened to be, it's theirs.

Reading this thread is infuriating me. I didn't know it was possible for me to get this angry about something anymore. I'm getting off the Internet for a while.

>>375950009
Redditors do this shit all the time. They will post literally anything if they think it will give them upvotes even to their detriment. A friend of mine once showed me a Reddit thread that was almost word for word s creepypasta that had been on 4chan for YEARS, including the same picture used in that OP. Redditors will do anything for upvotes, it's disgusting. I know a redditor that turns every conversation into how he got X number of upvotes for Y post. It's like a fucking drug for them.

>>375950506
>It doesn't matter on what data storage device it happened to be, it's theirs.
if i tattoo the source code onto my body is my skin now their property?

>>375950506
You don't get it, do you?
Just because the files contain copyrighted content, doesn't make the disc they're on Blizzard's property.

I remember how the source code for Thief was leaked & we got a sick fan made patch from it

Thank god a Redditor didn't get it, otherwise he would have sent it to Square Enix

>>375950340
This is assuming he already took the braindead decision to post on Reddit. He can't go secretive anymore. The rest could've worked, but he definitely would've needed to get rid of the disk, never relinquishing it to Blizzard.

A factual impossibility, though. See >>375949369. Too much of a die-hard fan to forfeit the benefits.

>>375950718
Unfortunately, the law disagrees with you as stupid as it is.

I honestly want to murder redditors. I want to rip their organs out of their bodies one by one while they scream.

Is there something wrong with me?

SC1's source code honestly isn't worth anything

WoW's source code however would go for millions on the black market, now that would be funny to see, a redditor giving away WoW's source code for a Blizzcon ticket, when he could have sold it & got a house in the hills next to Notch

>>375940157
I'd ask for rare wow shit instead of the trip. Leaking it would get me sued and I don't give two shits about Starcraft or RTS as a genre.

If you don't have to wrangle your dragoons like a pro to stop them from being fucking retarded, you're not playing starcraft.

Uploading someone else's IP to a torrent website or putting it on physical media and distributing it is illegal, according to IP and copyright laws. This is well known

Food analogies are a good thing, they give a universal and easy to understand example for the creation process among many other things, don't let /v/ meme them to death for you.

>>375951250
if you believe blizzard they actually modified the source code and never thought to keep long term incremental backups
it must be a lie because no company could ever be THAT utterly retarded

>>375940157
So Reddit and everyone who uses it being retarded is news how?

>>375951250
And afterwards gets sued because selling something that obviously doesn't belong to you is illegal, you dumb retard.

>>375951349
How does the activity being illegal transfer the ownership of the storage media to the copyright holder?

That's a lame ass reward. It'd be nice to know who got fired for losing it though.

>>375951213
If the source code was released, that could actually be made automaticly if your such a lazy shit at games.

He returned the code, like any gentleman would have. I'd give this man my last upvote if we were on Reddit right now.

Going from high level language code to machine language code is easy. Doing the opposite is ridiculously hard even for the simplest of projects.
