'Breach' game code theft at PAX East ends in arrest

An attempted theft of Atomic Games' Breach code on the PAX East show floor on the last day of the event was thwarted by vigilant members of the studio. According to a representative for the company, the suspected thief managed to download some of the code and then run into the crowd after he was spotted. He was eventually apprehended in the large crowd and the game's code was found on his computer.

Not the best things to find on someone who is claiming that he didn't steal the code.

Edit: And the genius jumps bail to go play MW2

Just let the Federal Cybercrime Task force deal with him. Imagine his face when federal agents knock on his door to arrest him for stealing video game code.

Theft! Hax! Daring escapes! Bail jumping! Conspiracy!

Sheesh. It's a blockbuster.

Although the guy sounds pretty dense telling a room full of industry people he illegally downloaded a game.

Daring. If only if someone would do it for Halo Reach, cause millions are dying to see some of that single-player footage select journalists got to see a few months ago.

Not only was P.T. an awesome demo, but just the way it was dropped on us and eventually revealed as Silent Hills was one of those really special moments in gaming. I don't even want to be reminded of it now.

Konami screwed up. They could easily cut the Silent Hills ending cutscene and sell it for 5/10 bucks and I would easily buy it again. The demo was tons of fun and terrifying each time, I loved to make friends play

Plot Twist: PT was a tease, Silent Hills was fake, the Konami fallout was staged, and Death Stranding is actually Metal Gear Solid VI. 🤯 #kojimawoulddothis

KwietStorm_BLM1816d ago

That would be the long con to end them all, but I don't know if even Kojima would do all that. Then again, Metal Gear Solid 2 was a thing.

King_Noctis1815d ago

It would be one hell of a story to tell.

PhantomS421816d ago

No Agent, that's a pretty easy one to get on this list.

2 days to Vegas and 8 days ooh and Agent

I just want a Getaway 3. I mean Sony has nailed the cinematic, open world genre for a while now. A return to the Getaway with the tech they got now would be so good

LOOK_AT_THIS_I1816d ago

Six Days in Fallujah was a game I would have been interested to see how it would have turned out. SOCOM like tactical shooter with destructive environments. Lots of work on it and then it was just scrapped.

One of the first casualties of the early outcry mobs.
