The leak also includes most of something called F-STOP, a cancelled Portal project, that apparently looks like Superliminal: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/eebagv/gameplay_of_a...
Cheats and hacks were already bad enough, I imagine this won't help :( Darn, one of the most fun games I like to play. Sadly, OSX Catalina killed the game for Mac users because Apple recognized the extreme demand by casual users to break all their old 32bit applications.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That was 2004, so not a very busy agent... I’m slightly shocked with the phrasing in that post “It is definitely possible that someone could install a virus on your machine by just being in the same server.” That.... seems like a pretty shocking security hole, unless they are talking about unknown possibilities, in which case the term “definitely” is a bad choice. If this can be done with the source, it could have be…
That sounds pretty reasonable to assume for any game, even those that are singleplayer, if they access the network. Game code is particularly known to be "spaghetti", "code cowoy"-style, where the result is more important than the form or correctness. I mean, that's art, after all, so that seems obvious. And do you think a lot of companies update their games after they are out? Most often, the code is definitive, ref…

People put up with that?
Using this code could I edit the character models so that certain characters looked like Sesame Street characters and then publish that game to my personal PC for my kids to have fun with?

Once you have the source code, how easy is it to "build" the game? Using this code could I edit the character models so that certain characters looked like Sesame Street characters and then publish that game to my personal PC for my kids to have fun with?
What is up with the strange sensationalist claims in the article on and Twitter? Source code availability is not a prerequisite to people finding vulnerabilities or RCE exploits in games, there are many established games with open source game clients. Security researchers routinely reverse engineer proprietary software. Bizarre.
Maybe they should just embrace it and open source the code (without giving away the trademarks). The community is pretty engaged, so I bet it would be a boon for both security and modding.
I don't know what this contains, but many times games cannot be open sourced because they use libraries that would have to be removed before they could open source it.
And anyone who wants to compile it, needs a licence for those libaries, which in many times is free for noncomercial purposes, or students. Btw. what expensive libaries do exist in that area anyway?
