there's a facepunch thread about it now apparently, lemme see if i can track it down
but in summary, when you buy a license to the source engine, you not only get all the source code but a bunch of debugging tools that allow you to view engine code in realtime for the sake of debugging, and if they left that in their release, any chucklefuck who buys the game can just poke apart the source code
disclosing those tools is so massively against the licensing terms that they can and will get their asses sued off if it's true
and how much money would it cost if this proves to be true and they get sued?there's a facepunch thread about it now apparently, lemme see if i can track it down

it's not so much a case of "how much money it would cost", but they'd be sued for a significant amount considering they essentially distributed engine code that costs thousands of dollars to licenseand how much money would it cost if this proves to be true and they get sued?
