Wouldn't that mean uploading the code to another party, though? If you're worried about loving over the person who got it to you in the first place... Although that then makes me wonder why they didn't just scrub it from the start. Also, the fact that we know who has the code now means it's probably pretty possible to figure out who stole it anyway, just based on who they know.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Although that then makes me wonder why they didn't just scrub it from the start. Because the plan was almost 100% "I am never going to release this poo poo so why bother", if they were going to do it they'd have done it some time in the last 7 years. Especially if they were ever afraid of getting compromised and all that poo poo getting spread around. Not sure what changed, but whatever got him to change his mind from gaslighting and mega cult-like asshollery to seemingly making this poo poo available is good.

I mean, even if you don't plan to release it, if you really cared about making sure your source is safe you'd do it anyway for exactly the situation that's happening right now. although TBH I don't really think Leandro is a cult leader or whatever so much as just a turbogoon with really poor social skills, which lines up with someone who goes into IT in the first place.

Waiting for someone to successfully use it other than Leandro before I get my hopes up. A part of me still can't help but imagine them gutting the source code in some non-trivial fashion under the guise of scrubbing it of fingerprints of the original leaker, out of spite.

Aside from indie projects like Pantheon (which will probably be garbage), developers have wised up to the cost of developing and running an MMO. The dream of WoW killing is dead. There will never be another game like CoX, simply because developers have washed their hands of that market. Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Apr 18, 2019 |

I am far from a hardcore fan, there are people who have a genuine obsession with this game. But, it is the last MMORPG I actually enjoyed, it was a fun video game. That I have to preface my post with that says something, some people have an unhealthy obsession with this game. I would check the subreddit a few times a year to see if there was any news on an emulator, after all other MMORPGs got them. Having now said all of that, I am pretty psyched. I bet someone spins up a server in less than a week.

my landlord got death threats when he turned the heating off in winter to "deal with" some uppity seniors. anyways that means what he did was morally correct, as he was the victim.

Well its 4:20pm est and 1:20pm pst, so most of the people who are more capable than 'idea guys' or standard angry mmo fans are at work (the american ones at least). Give it a few hours/days and I'm 100% confident someone will step up to bat that is both capable and a fan of City of Heroes/Villains.

It is possible for Leandro receiving death threats to be wrong and lovely and Leandro to also be a egotistical dumbass who doesn't particularly deserve sympathy or trust. Like, it is not hard to reconcile these two thoughts at the same time jesus people.

They shouldn't be ignored but potentially 20+ years of "I will rape and murder you and your family" sort of rings hollow. Even one guy sending me a Google maps of my home doesn't make me flinch anymore (take an actual photo in person you bitch). 99% of the time they aren't even within 1000 miles of you let alone the same country. Lmafo, the brokebrain Gen-X contingent is really out in full force wilding on peeps today. "Yeah I'm used to people just harassing each other from decades of exposure to it, I don't really see the issue with this incredibly toxic form of communication" Like gently caress off my dude, crawl back into whatever '00 hole you emerged from. also lol @ the whole "hurrr its a sycophantic cult of personality" poo poo. Is it elitist and cliquish? Almost certainly, although unless anyone in here is in the place I don't think we'll know the full scope. But seriously, there's no need to import FB or reddit brain worms here with the temper tantrum sourced hyperbole. Hype for the code leak tho vvv lol if you think it's about the credibility of the threat and not it being an awful way to communicate to your fellow humans.

For the record, making death threats is completely wrong and inexcusable. Not believing a serial liar's claims about receiving death threats does not mean that you condone death threats. Lol that anyone is giving any of these people the benefit of the doubt for anything.

It's a cult of personality my dude.

I don't miss stuff like 'n****rdeath' or ultrastrict mods (Bad punctuation? That's a month probation!), but SA isn't supposed to pander to the softest brain individuals who have no idea of how the internet functions.
