Re: Would you steal it?

In Response To: Would you steal it? (Jordan117)

: This is a hypothetical question, so don't get bogged down in the
: improbability of the situation.

: Let's say that an anonymous hacker steals the Halo 3 source code several
: weeks before the game is released. The stolen code is playable and
: enjoyable; all the cutscenes and gameplay mechanics are there. Apart from
: a few extremely minor glitches (a few missing textures, isolated lighting
: mistakes, etc.), the game is flawless.

: Let's also say that the hacker wrangles up some clever trick that allows
: anyone to download the source code to their Xbox for free. All you have to
: do is input some special code, and a playable version of Halo 3 would be
: on your console in an hour, without costing a dime. The download is
: unstoppable and untraceable.

: Considering this happens, would you download the code? Would you immediately
: dive into the game and finish the fight, even though it would mean
: betraying Bungie and destroying it financially? Or would you abstain,
: standing by the company even if it meant waiting for several weeks and
: having to pay $60 for a legal copy?

: Once again, let's assume that the "official" game and the leak are
: virtually identical. The imperfections in the leak are so minor that you
: can't find them without searching for them.

: What would you do?

I wouldn't, and I'd be very upset because I KNOW I'd see spoilers between now and the real release.
