Shantz Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-21-the-boy-who-stole-half-life-2-article?page=1 At 6am on 7th May 2004, Axel Gembe awoke in the small German town of Schönau im Schwarzwald to find his bed surrounded by police officers. Automatic weapons were pointing at his head and the words "Get out of bed. Do not touch the keyboard" were ringing in his ears. Gembe knew why they were there. But, bleary-eyed, he asked anyway. "You are being charged with hacking into Valve Corporation's network, stealing the videogame Half-Life 2, leaking it onto the internet and causing damages in excess of $250 million," came the reply. "Get dressed." Seven months earlier, on 2nd October 2003, Valve Corporation director Gabe Newell awoke in the large American city of Seattle to find the source code for the game his company had been working on for almost five years had leaked onto the internet.
