Well, that was basically said in a gaming magazine... I believe it was CGW that told of the HL2 source code thefts. It even named a couple of people.

Come to think of it, I don't remember which magazine it was in. Seeing as which magazines I get, it would have to be in OXM (no), CGW (I think), GamePro (doubtful), or Stuff (maybe).

I remember hearing alot of rumors that Bungie did it to stop the competition between the two H2's.

I wonder how much Valve is paying these people to be their scapegoats...

Seriously though, the theft of the source code is probably the dumbest news "headline" of the millennium. If you're going to be idiotic enough to leave your sourcecode on an open or vulnerable network you deserve what you get.
