Not sure if you'd get in trouble, but this statement does show a very confused understanding of what a source code leak would enable, both legally and also technically with a game that relies significantly on centralized servers.
People in threads cheering it on isn't going to lead to more hacks; rich companies with poor IT infrastructure that have something valuable will lead to more hacks. The larger these companies get, the more their stolen assets are worth.
Not sure how you can reasonably say this when previous threads, and this one, have people in them hoping other companies are hacked just because they are either interested in the information for purely selfish reasons or some weird idea of how games actually work to think they can make it better this way.
Oh I like SC, I just think I can fix it to actually work (I'm a C++ software engineer, been programming for over a decade). So I understand what a source code leak entails.
This right here, don't give a fuck about the releasing of info. The charity nonsense is garbage
You know that copying some files from a vulnerable server isn't the same as hacking the banking system, don't you? The latter only happens in movies.
I hope you don't believe this? Banks get hacked all the time. Ever heard of customer information getting stolen?
No, unless they want to receive the fastest Cease and Desist in history.
Then it's more my second point, The Witcher 3 already gave you enormous access to the game's code with its mod tools, so not much more can be dig.
They already hacked into Capcom servers like a few months ago lol
Requesting hacks and stealing is probably not a good idea. On the other hand, whatever CIG has in their repositories is mostly trash anyway, can't make anything useful with that.
While true, at the same time it's probably the worst nightmare for any developer.
I'm sure the original threat said they had a load of HR files.

This is gold. Who at the studio decided to make that bug montage and why?Seems that Cyberpunk 2077 leaks are now starting (Seems to be originating from this hack), saw on reddit a link to a 4chan thread, theres a 2013 build from there showing third person gameplay, an internal memey bug compilation video that was created a few months before launch and so on.

They did the same for Witcher 3 and showed it at the anniversary event. Not exactly uncommon.
I just don't get the purpose. I understand having video captures of bugs to help with fixing them, but why put it all together in a memey montage? I guess someone just had some downtime and wanted to make a funny video to share around the studio?
Exactly that. I mean they poke fun at themselves by starting the video with the "when its ready" marketing line. Gallows humour is helpful to deal with stress.
