WOW... that is a HUGE FUBAR. You'd think a game company that's been fighting people hacking their games for online advantage for years would be more careful. As a programmer I'd love to get a look at their code [img]smile.gif[/img] , but I feel for the HL2 team, I think I'd be crying if I was in their shoes.
In the long run I don't think it hurts them too much (it's far enough pre-release that I'm sure the game executable will be quite different), although they'll need to keep their eyes peeled for other companies stealing their code and using it in their own games. I expect they'll change some key code segments to make the loose code unusable by hackers trying to cheat at online games.
