Is it true that outside of Atari, one of the developers still has the source code for Blood but was told they'd start a witch hunt if he ever releases it to the public?
>>
>>319689172
Yes, but he just wants to make money off of it.
Otherwise he'd have just "leaked" it by now.
>>
>>319690002
Pretty sure he just fears for his life since it would've been obvious who leaked it if it suddenly appeared on the internet.
>>
>>319690202
Why?
They never got the guy who leaked the alpha.
>>
>>319690449
Yeah, that's the official version.
>>
What's the story here anon?
>>
You really think Atari would have a witch hunt before someone leaked the code of a game IP they haven't used for decades and have no interest in making any future ganes?
>>
>>319690649
Atari forbade the release of the source code and is holding the rights to the game at a king's ransom.

>>319690649
>Atari sits on the IP for years
>Old dev comes to a community forum saying that he has the source code but wants to make some sort of quake live online shit
>People get happy
>Dev says that he doesn't want hackers and he won't be releasing the source code
>Never got the rights to do it
>Silence since 2014
That's pretty much it
>>
>>319690841
I never understood why any publisher sits on an old game for years, letting it collect dust.
>>
>>319691173
Well, why not?
Sure you might net some neetpoints for giving it away nilly-willy, but that's it.
>>
>>319691582
The game is almost two decades old. Nobody cares about it aside form fans.
