world of warcraft leaked alpha

[pg]

just like the title says wow has been leaked. here's some screenshots - http://home.no/lagra/

btw, what's the deal with all the leaking nowadays? stalker, wow, hl2, doom3, and i'm sure others i don't remember. it almost seems like companies are leaking stuff on purpose for all the publicity.

Wasn't HL2 stolen?

[Atahualpa]

This leaking is senseless anyway and all ppl who look at leaked games just ruin the fun for themselves
I wouldnt look at a leaked game even if someone would install it for me.

But maybe its some kind of trick to get customer feedback, I dont know, I am no publisher.

[Zopperoni]

It does look pretty cool.

[MattH]

It's about as cartoonish as the game

[Asher]

It is a game. Imagine that.

So wait, is that the binary that was stolen or the source+resources?

Either way, we have now seen that nothing particularly bad happened to Valve as a result. Yet... So I guess I was wrong when I was screaming the stolen HL2 source would kill them...

But, yeah, what's up with all the leaking any ways?

[pg]

i'm not quite sure exactly what is out in the wild. i think it's just a alpha test install with no server side stuff or source code.

Interesting stuff! I've never played one of those games, but from the little I've seen this one looks like it's several steps up.
