Hellgate London source code stolen?
By: Avinash Bali   |   Jul 11, 2006
Oh man, this is bad news. It seems an individual of Chinese origin has stolen the source code for Flagship Studio's upcoming action RPG Hellgate London and is probably planning on selling it on a personal website.

When contacted, Flagship Studio's CEO Bill Roper had this to say, "We've heard the same rumors. Obviously this is of concern to us and we've been looking into it, but we haven't been able to ascertain any further information to substantiate those rumors."

Is it just co-incidence or do source codes always get stolen when a game fails to meet its release date (cough *Half-Life 2* cough).

Either way, if this is true, expect the game to be delayed by another year or so.

Actually, word from Flagship is that this rumor, even if true, has not impeded development timetables any.

Ouch. Would really suck to think maybe, possibly your code had been stolen ... somewhere. tagged: game, gaming
