Well to continue this thread I was wondering if anyone out there has
any idea how Doom ][ got leaked? It was obviously someone at GT, and I assume
ID will no longer do business with them. Also I think ID, even though they
will make money, they are losing lots of money due to this being leaked a
month before it was suppose to be released. Has this occured before with a
game..? IE has a finished game ever been leaked this far before release
before?
Also I HAD a copy of Doom ][ , I got it when I heard it was out so
I just assumed that it was shipped to those of us who pre-ordered it... Hell
I did the day after I got that offer from GT. So instead of waiting to get it
when I go home I decided it would do little harm to get a copy off of someone
and play it since I thought that I may have already owned the game.
Since then I have deleted my copy and now waite in anticipation to
be able to play it again. Damn was it GREAT!!!!!!!! Oh well I'll be bored
with Doom 1 for a little longer and take advantage of all those wads.
But ID will lose money... there are now at least fifty people in my
dorm alone with it, and who knows how many campus wide.
And to ID I apologize for my acts by "pirating" Doom ][... I have too much
respect for you guys and didn't know it wasn't officially released and so no
harm as I thought it would of already been delivered to my house when I read
that firsst message that Doom ][ was released on Usenet. Man I can't imagine
all the posts when it finally is released...
Anyways sorry to drag this on but I had to clear my conscience...
