Gamescom thieves pinch two demo PCs, dev offers $5000 reward

4.6
Thieves have made off with two PCs belonging to developer Larian, which contained early versions of two upcoming games.

The developer says the machines stored early builds of Divinity: Dragon Commander and Divinity: Original Sin, and is offering a $5000 reward to anyone who helps lead them to the culprits and the recovery of the PCs.
"If you have any information about the culprits, head to Business Hall 4.2, Booth A-16 to let the team know," asks the dev (via Kotaku).

The developer will no doubt be concerned over the possibility of their unreleased games being leaked online.

Not a great start to the expo.

App Geez, Thats terrible, hopefully they will find them :(


hate to say this but i highly doubt they will find them.


They might, if the guy who stole it sells it online or makes a video about it. They could track him down if they wanted too.


unless he did it from a different location or something other then something that could be tracked to him


But if he uploads it somewhere, someone can find him cant they?

They can probably IP track him.

They could but he can still leak stuff


I hope he leaks stuff soon, I would like to see some info.

Hopefully he would have enough sense to use a proxy.
