I do not understand why people make such a big deal out of this, not a single worthwhile thing would have come out of this had it been leaked to the internet. What would people do with the source code of a 20 year old game engine which has already been hacked apart and reversed engineered? Its like people just want to be angry about something for no actual reason.

>>377143973
>pirate fags

StarCraft has been cracked since decades ago you dumb faggot.

People wanted the source code so they could enhance their ability to mod the game.

Wat?

So what could be done with the source code? Could people easily make Starcraft clones?

No, he could have just sold it to someone else that would have done that. Nothing illegal about selling something you own.

Why do redditors have to ruin everything?

I said it many many times, SC is a well documented game, there is nothing stopping you to create a clone, except laziness.
However, if the CD was something not as well documented / unavailable, such as the scripts for a vanilla WoW server, i would be beyond mad.

>>377144563
The engine Starcraft runs on has already been fully reverse engineered into an open source version, what would getting the source code accomplish aside from stirring up potential legal trouble?

Where the fuck do you just find a game's master source code?

Imagine how much money he could have made. I know it's illegal but if you just sell it in a shady website who knows.

Are you retarded?

>>377145046
It wouldn't have been illegal at all, he owned the disc.

>>377142940
This redditor and the other reddior who had a xbox devkit but made a pc out of it are the worst human beans ever created.

He could've gotten $30,000+ in bitcoin easily

>>377145018
basically in the old days a spare copy is left somewhere since they've moved onto the next project, someone finds it, keeps it as a novelty, then it winds up in a garage sale, then reddit destroys all that is good

>>377145076
>Reselling your own property is illegal
Are you?

>>377143563
Letting acti-blizz keep the source code to a game franchise they didn't create, but happily ruined, is not the right thing to do.

Starcraft is a Warhammer plagiarism, just like Overwatch is a TF2 plagiarism and Warcraft is a Middle Earth plagiarism. Blizzard has never had a non-plagiarized idea.

>>377145249
Oh yeah did you see how huge the Doom 3 modding scene got after they put out the source code for idtech 4? Oh wait, its totally nonexistent. Doom has a huge modding scene because the game is very simple and the tools are accessible enough that children can made levels. The source code being publicly available didn't really have much bearing on Doom modding taking off.

Nevermind the fact that if this guy did leak out the Starcraft source code, anything made with it would be subject to being crushed into oblivion by Blizzard's legal department.

>>377145485
The Scout is a far more enticing character than Tracer, because the Scout's character actually comes off believable, rather forced "LOL, SEE HOW MUCH BETTER WE ARE THAN PIXAR?" bullshit.

123KB, 1298x1316px

Shouldnt the source code be, like, in your copy of the game?

>>377145831
The crucial difference is that Scout believes he's a badass but in actuality is an insecure weakling, while Tracer believes she's a badass and really is. Every Overwatch character is like this: one step behind TF2's characters in terms of complexity and depth.

>>377144937
It was literally the source code for Starcraft, which would allow you to create a clone, or as people would have more than likely have done, open the game up for a modding scene beyond custom maps.

>>377145861
Stallman get out

>>377142940
>yea sorry, I didn't want to be sued

>>377146012
Again, the engine has already been reverse engineered. You can go play ports of Starcraft on your phone.

>>377145969
It also feels like they're trying to make some retarded "superhero" lore-universe with Tracer being the titular character, who's literally a mary sue for the developers.

>>377145719
>implying that it was ever worth acknowledging before 40k
Don't blame Blizzard because they knew how to actually use a good idea

>>377146132

Not the same thing as having the source code.

>>377145221
>>377144745

Knowing something doesn't belong to you but selling it or keeping it anyways is still thief you dumbass. Ownership of property isn't physically having the item.

>>377146320
>knowing something doesn't belong to you

>literally owns a copy of the Source Code

It was his, how did he not own it?

>>377145286
yes, no company ever creates a game
the employees at a company create the game, and I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority who created starcraft haven't set foot in a blizzard office in decades

>>377146513
He found it in the attic in a bunch of boxes that were there when he moved in.

>>377146320
Why didn't the disc belong to him?

By your logic, reselling a game to Gamestop or another party is illegal, because you don't legally own the data on the disc.

>>377146635
If he purchased the house, what was left inside is his.

>>377146320
>finds copy of source code

Didn't he find it on his property? Essentially, it was legally his at that point.

Not the "source code", but the disc and case it was in was his.

>>377145485
blizz themselves said warcraft was intended to be a warhammer game from the start. But jewhammer didnt like the idea of a PC game so blizz made their own shit. Look at them now. Warhammer makes low tier games.

>>377145969
No one at BLU and RED can be considered even remotely weakling. Scoug might not be as strong as the super human heavy, but even non physical classes like the engineer are much stronger than any normal human being, being able to carry a half ton sentry around.

Property is only transferred or departed with when the original owner intended to part with it. It's a common issue with finders law that if the original owner can prove that they never meant to part with it, the interest of ownership still lays with the person that lost it.

In this case it sounds like Blizzard never intended to have that CD lost, so there's the argument that legally the property rights still belonged to them.

>>377146709

Also no, there's the difference between chattel property and a fixture. Chattel doesn't go with the house.

>>377146250
Right, its better. Because anything made using a reverse engineered engine doesn't have to deal with any legal nonsense.

>>377145805
Doom 3 modding wasn't huge but it also wasn't nonexistent either. There are plenty of interesting projects out of it.

The main problem is Doom 3's engine sucks. It's an one trick pony that is excellent at rendering space vaginas and corridors but craps out at everything else.

Unless there is an exclusion clause in the purchasing contract all of those items are his to do with as he sees fit.

>>377147339
>lift*

>>377147493

No. The seller of that CD to the guy never had the property right to sell it in the first place.

Even if the contract itself was technically valid at the time, the consideration for it wasn't because it was never the sellers to give away. That is unless somewhere along the line a rightful owner gave away the CD in a valid way. Like what happens with an auction or repossession.

>>377146218
Neither warhammer fantasy or warhammer 40k were anything like their current counterparts when 40k started out

>>377147932
Technically he could feign ignorance if it didn't have any warranty with it.

>>377148638

Oh definitely, had he immediately posted the source code online without asking around he would have a pretty decent defense. No theft without intention to commit it.

But after posting on reddit and contacting Blizzard themselves, he would run into problems if he then decided to post it online.
