Cyb Posted November 4, 2002 A few major game news sites have finally started to acknowledge that the leak exists, and John Carmack himself has even spoken about it: No, this was not leaked on purpose. Yes, we are upset about it, and it will have some impact on how we deal with some companies in the future, but nothing drastic is going to change in terms of what support is going to be available. Making any judgments from a snapshot intended for a non-interactive demo is ill advised. So there you go. Also just be aware there's a guy on Slashdot named 'John Carmac.' or something similar who is making up stuff. It's pretty humorous, but obviously you don't want to confuse that stuff with what the real Carmack has to say. Of course the same comments and forums policies still hold true, so be good! On with your lives, citizens. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hyena Posted November 4, 2002 I don't believe this. When I posted that, I said it's a crackpot theory and that I didn't think it was really true. Just having fun. And now I see I'm neither the first nor the last to spout that same theory. I can't believe it came to e-mailing accusations to Carmack. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mizz Posted November 5, 2002 This really sucks, I still wonder how this happened. But this may give idsoftare a reason to make it even better than the alpha. However, from what I've played so far it kicks ass. I'll be sure to buy a legit copy when it comes out. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lazer Posted November 6, 2002 kain said:i wanna actually pay money for it for some reason. This is where everyone is wrong. Playing the alpha would give u more reason to buy it, not less. There really isn't much to play in the alpha, and it leaves you wanting more. 0 Share this post Link to post
