A guy found the original starcraft gold disc that was stolen 20 years ago and returned it to blizzard for some merch and tickets to blizzcon

>>376931779
Some faggot found a Starcraft Golden Edition and instead of saving the game before sending it back to Blizzard, he just straight mailed it to them.

He wasn't stupid, just selfish.

He probably got handsomely rewarded by Blizzard for giving it to them, what would he had gotten if he'd leaked it?

>>376931556
He also did it after Blizz pretty much already had reverse-engineered the game so they didn't need it anymore. I could have understood if he did it before they began to work on the remake.

>>376931556
I bet it was a publicity stunt

>>376931779

There is a story to everything anon in this case some fucking retard found the original source code to Starcraft.

Instead shitting on the jews located at Blizzard he send them the disc instead offering the disc to some shaddy hack0rz.

>>376931943
They got his address and name. Even if he saved it, he can't release shit.

>>376931947
He could've sold it for a couple hunded bucks. Which was better than the store credit that Blizzard gave him.

I am not even sure if I would've done anything with th disc at all. Keep quiet, frame the thing, put it on a wall.
I mean this is not even the first copy of the game, this is the original CD that was supposed to be sent to the cd factory for copying.
Its like the first officially finished version.

I don't even like starcraft that much, but as a collector this is a really cool item to have.

He just "happened" to find a fucking gold source code on ebay in a bundle. My ass, even the most technologically inept people know that if it's gold, then you put it front and center on the display, not hidden down in the middle of it.

>>376934127

Also they say that most of the documents have never been digitalised meaning that there are only a few paper copies locked away somewhere

Dude probably would've gotten sued or arrested for leaking it. Not worth it desu.

Why don't Blizzard just release what's on the disc if everyone is so interested in it? What keeps them aside from jewery?

>>376934568

yeah AND GUESS WHAT DEVICE FUCKING HAD THAT INFORMATION THAT GOT DELETED FRIVILOUSLY LIKE SO MUCH TRAP PORN?! GAHHHHH!

Unrelated. PtoPOnline’s Andrew Borman also has a hit list of games he’d love to see. . I know that a few Duke Nukem Forever and Prey builds were recovered, but Bethesda has refused to do anything with them so far.”

And we are talking about id Software and Raven.

Blizzard will never release their source code to anything as long as they exist. Other companies tend to release their stuff when it srsly stops making money (didn't even EA release Sims 1+2 for free a while ago?), but not blizzard.

>>376932428
How do you know that's not what he's doing?

Anthropologists defile graves and other holy sites just to put things in museums that were never theirs to belong with.

Don't judge me nigger; it's even man for himself.

It's more neat as a historical curiosity. I'd sure like to see what their source code looks like and how they structured such a frenetically developed game. How it differs from what came before and after it.

But it's not worth that much elsewise. Community patches I guess?

It's a good game but fairly old.

There need to be more open source codes for old games. They are so limited in functioning and even though it's illegal to modify them and release them for public, I would still do it.

Fuck me for being a nostalgia fag that only enjoys playing old games, but it's satisfying.

>>376931556

They wanted avoid getting pound in the ass in the prison if they were to release that openly.

>>376949769
half of them were telling him both sides
most people flipping shit just wanted him to archive it

It's read/write protected, you wouldn't be able to do anything with this disc.

What would happen if he uploaded it to a Russian server without a proxy? Do they have enough power to get the IP still?

Even disregarding the whole open sourcing it, this tard fuck could have gotten rich selling this in South Korea. He's probably have gotten upwards of a million dollars, and God knows what might happen if it gets into a bidding war.

>>376931556

What did he do wrong? He found something that didn't belong to him, he knew who it did belong to, and he returned it to them. It's not a big deal, do you honestly think this is worth anything? That Blizzard needed this back or Starcraft would be forever lost to humanity? They probably have several hard copies and digital copies of the source code.

would be fine if no one knew he had it in the first place. little late when the blizzard legal team actually contacts you to return it.
"well, this source code appeared online and this guy we have the home and address of claimed to have it, then lost it it apparently"

case closed. even if you try to weasel your way out of it saying "but l-lost it!" your gonna get sued for damages, to the tune of what starcraft is worth in its entirety.

>crying over oldass vidya code from 1998 obtained on legally nebulous grounds
Stuff like this isn't released to retail so it usually is still under contract and was probably meant to be chucked.

If word reached Bliz about the code, they would have either ran the cops on the guy (as Apple did when their iPad prototype turned up in the wild) or opensource the '98 code out of spite to ruin the value.

You can't do anything with unlicensed commercial code anyhow. It would serve little more than novelty factor. The engine that powered this game wasn't anything to get excited over either. The game has been hacked to shit times over anyhow.

The guy could have just stuck it in his basement to rot, but that wouldn't be any better than its previous fate.

It's been a debate since 1998 whether the lightly armored guy with the straight sarge buzzcut in that one cinematic was a ghost or not. The consensus seems to be that he was not, more likely just a specialist or lightly armored scout marine.

Are you retarded? Blizzard has fucking none of that. At absolute best they have a serial code that may or may not be linked to him 20 years prior on a fucking physical disc, which could have passed hands so many times it has traveled around the world 5 times by now.

Don't post on Reddit about it and upload via TOR, Blizz can't do shit about it, at all. Even if you post on Reddit and then upload via TOR Blizzard is the one accusing you and needs actual evidence that it was you uploading it, which they won't get. So no, Blizzard could not do anything.

>>376954589
Name ten things we could do with the source code.

>>376953903
people on /v/ really, really hate altruism when it comes to publishers. Despite the fact that this board once sent a get well soon card to Nintendo.

Everyone talks about the value of this disc but fail to explain how it's valuable in anyone else's hands.

I don't blame him. When I watch YouTube videos on my phone the adverts are ridiculous phone games that use blizzard IPs. Characters that look exactly like Malfurion, Arthas etc. If this guy released the SC source code it would have unleashed a storm of faggots trying to make a profit off half-assed attempts of "OC pls no steal"

>>376937174
Eh I can see how a dumb normie would be pumped about getting all that stuff plus tickets to blizzcon.

>>376954471
Easy fix for that: don't live in Burgerland. Then big corps can't bankrupt you even if you're in the right.

>>376954697
blizzard DID have that, unfortunately. its how they, ya know, contacted him. and yes, a criminal case can require whatever hosting site to release the details of what its hosting.

It would be really fucked up if someone else has the source code and uploads it anonymously. Everyone would assume it was him and he'd get assfucked in prison.

>>376935952
The burden of proof isn't on us you fuckwit. Thank your parents and home country for never teaching you how to think critically or research something.

great, all he had to do then was sell his house, pack up and move to an entirely different country, and then release the source code. easy peasy

The world would be a better place if all 20+ year old vidya had their source code released publicly.

>>376954801
Using unlicensed commercial code wouldn't be worth the risks. Code thieves have been taken to tasks since the 70's when IBM was taking down PC clones. Blizzard might not be able to do much about guerrilla releases, but nobody would actually be able to sell such a thing commercially, not for long anyhow.

>>376954976
So you have no proof?

>>376954904
>its how they, ya know, contacted him
Because he posted on Reddit about it like a retarded Redditor.

>and yes, a criminal case can require whatever hosting site to release the details of what its hosting.
Are you stupid? Do you know what Tor is? The hosting site has absolutely nothing on him if it was uploaded via Tor, there is nothing to link him to the upload apart from circumstance, which is not enough for anything.

Except they are the ones accusing him, so they have to prove he uploaded it. Unless he posted something that could link him to that specific sourcecode (i.e. a serial number specific to it), which he didn't, he could have posted everything on Reddit then uploaded it via Tor and all Blizzard could do nothing but sue him on no grounds and get the case thrown out by the judge.

Dunno maybe Burger law has it so the burden of proof rests with the private person to defend the precious fragile corporations.

>>376955050
Port it to a shitload of plataforms you will never use to play a fucking RTS, like cellphones and calculators.

BEST case scenario, with that we are sure the game would still playable in 50-100 years if something stupid happen to microsoft / blizzard and backwards compatibility get thrown out of the window.

DooM is the way it is today because iD saw fit to release the engine code to the community. Bliz has done no such thing.

I don't think people really understand that playing starcraft on every device is totally fucking worthless and it already gets the living fuck modded out of it by koreans, so either of these benefits are not really that important.

I would of probably kept it because i like fucking starcraft, unless there was some sort of legal reason he gave it back. That said, if i gave it back and they give me a bunch of shitty new blizzshit garbage and overwatch id be pissed, id want something connected to starcraft.
