BM Coverage in Australian PC Powerplay

gotta love how u comment on the facepalm but completely ignore the sensible questions!? :\

At least you’ve gotten that far, I can’t even find where to purchase it from.

Well you see… I might just walk to the news agent around the corner and oh… it closed :frowning: , so then I’ll go to the local shopping centre and buy myself a copy :smiley:

Get me one please. :3
I’ll pay you back… In things.

I suppose me getting a copy and then scanning it would be bad?

I’ll scan my copy if noone else does at work @ 600dpi.

Ju-just scan it, i beg you.

You really think i can get upset by that? :retard:

Whatever they are, they better have lasers.

Any game magazine that leaks code would soon find itself not getting exclusive stuff from developers.

“DO NO LEAK TEH GAME OR WE WILL LAZOR YOU” kind of precaution?

Companies like that have some integrity… except the staff that work for them that gloat to their friends about the stuff they’ve tested. Still… they don’t leak material, they just leak ego juice over everyone.

Ive saved it :jizz:
Ive loaded it :jizz:
Ive played it :jizz:
Ive died in it :jizz:
Ive gibbed it :jizz:

Wow, if the devs get that excited about it… What should we expect?

:fffuuu:

Wouldn’t the BMS developers be entitled to a free (digital) copy of the magazine? Even if it’s just the BMS article.

What makes you think they didn’t need to pay like a thousand bucks to get the mod in there?

in this special case, this is true, since this is an exclusive thingy. But I’ve been a music collector for a while and I’ve learned that most of the stuff that gets leaked can be traced back to reviewers from mags etc. I even have one or two of those pre-releases from which such things were leaked (thanks to ebay). They usually send away 50 to 100 copies, and normally you can’t be sure who exactly is repsonsible for that leak (the reason why promo CDs are often watermarked). Then again, it might be totally different in music business and in this case, everyone would know that the leak can only be traced back to this mag, so yeah, they should be cautious about it, and chances are low that it gets leaked from that source. On the other hand, some might think that since this is still a mod, so a product that comes for free, it shouldn’t be as much of a problem as with games from professional game studios.

@Raminator:
You probably can’t go too much into detail here, but what exactly can you do against a leak? What precautions? The only thing I can imagine is that you send someone with a copy there who watches the play sessions and afterwards makes sure that the build is wiped from the playtester’s hard drive.

There’s some serious business goin’ on here :open_mouth:

The build explodes after you get to a certain point
