Gaming community helps track down Half-Life 2 source code bandits.
The “3-C’s” that drive the Borland Developer Network (BDN) forward are content, communication, and collaboration. Articles and code drive the content portion. Email, news, newfeeds, and newsgroups drive the communications. Quality Central, threaded conversations, ratings, voting, pulse, and more drive the collaboration.
I just read the announcement that the gaming community helped the authorities to track down the thieves that broke into Valve Software’s system and took the source code to the much anticipated Half-Life 2 program. That’s what I call collaboration. Way to go gaming community!
