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.

A 5k reward? The thieves will probably return them for 10k.
