Lineage 3 Source Code Stolen

French news site PC Inpact has reported that source code from NCSofts upcoming Lineage III game has been stolen, or at least parts. It’s expected that previous employees are the culprits, with intentions to sell to Japanese game developers for their own titles. NCSoft claims that this scandal has cost them near 1 million Euros to date, so it’s no surprise they are intent on finding the culprits.

As if that isn’t bad enough, it seems like half the programmers have recently left. In the meantime, both Lineage 1 and 2 are riding the storm, performing as normal.
