ID's response to leaked Wolf Multiplayer

[Reoh]

Some unlucky basterd is going to feel the wrath of Activision's legal department, and I certainly wouldn't want to know if being hax awesome is worth the ramifications of the largest third-party publisher in the world (and all the money they have to throw lawyer after lawyer at you), but hey, that's just how some people roll.

They're also promising an SDK and post-launch support for the game, woot.

Some few choice words on GA:
BigPond GameArena - id: legal consquences to Wolf MP leak

Still not sure what to make of this threat. I'm they had to say something (5 days late!), but yeah...

What I find interesting is how differently companies approach the issue of piracy. You have a large company with the backing of Activision/Blizzard that takes this sort of a stance, then others such as (Demigod was it?) Where they make a polite appeal to the pirates to buy the game and support the company if they enjoyed it.
