Not good news for anyone wanting to play HL2 based games and mods online. The hacks will be that much more insidious.

Why would a company have it's source code on a computer that had internet access?

A very sad thing, indeed.

Apparently there is a halflife2 beta version in distribution in the net. It even has a patch for it.

Leaks themselves seem to be fairly common though. Sourcecodes are stolen all the time from major companies like (i.e) id software.

Id Software, though, knows a few things about source code leaks. Several of the company's biggest games, including all of the Quake games, have seen their source code leak out.
