HalfLife2.net
-As most of you in IRC and on the forums already know, a pre-release version of Half-Life 2 has found its way onto Peer-to-peer, IRC, and web warez networks around the globe.
We ask all of our participants of our community, both in our IRC channel (irc.quakenet.org #halflife2) and our forum, to remain as sensible and calm about the situation as possible. We will not hesitate to ban users posting screenshots of the source, where to get the source, code from the source, the file name of the Half-Life 2 pre-release, where to get the pre-release or any content remotely similar to this likeness.
If you do insist on discussing the pre-release (in an appropriate, and legal manner), we would prefer you do it in our IRC channel (irc.quakenet.org #halflife2) rather than in our forums, for moderation related reasons. -
That is really bad... I'm assuming they mean the 'release content' of the game, this will ruin valve and the delay will only make things worse :( I'm never going to download the 'release content,' because that is just wrong. Stupid twat 'hackers'... :'(
Shit, where the hell have they got it from? I thought Valve's servers were offline. You mean it ruins Valve because now there is content to try the source code on, right? Otherwise HL2 would have been hacked and distributed over P2P networks a few weeks after the release anyway. It's the same with every new game now a days. (Sorry, I would use #halflife2, but there I can't answer you :/)
