" dont think half life 2 is fucked up or open source now, for it needs more than just the source codes to entertain me."
let me give you another perspective here. if you've ever played counterstrike or quake or battlefield 1942, etc online, i'm sure you are quite aware of the thousands of hacks in existance to allow users to cheat with wall hacks and the like. these were created, mind you, without the original source code of the game. how much more vulnerable would hl2 be if it were in the hands of these cheaters??
when you play where cheaters have an unfair advantage, the fun isn't there anymore and less people play. this could be a problem for valve, who has been working on hl2 since 1998 and would probably like to earn a return on their efforts...i hope they catch the guy who got access to their code before it's leaked out. for valves sake as well as for the people who buy the game.
