BlizzCon tickets are practically free to Blizzard though, aren't they?
- detaro 10y agoSince tickets are "only" $199 normally anyways, the ticket is clearly not the expensive part of "going to BlizzCon all expenses paid".
- scrollaway 10y agoRight. When they fly people in (such as the press) the hotel accomodations alone ends up being worth 1.5-2k for the stay (3-4 nights, $500 ish a night at the Hilton anaheim), and I suspect he's going to be there a bit longer as they'll surely show him around the Blizzard campus in Irvine (and they did say they'll take him out for drinks etc). I would estimate they are likely spending up to 4k usd on this guy, just from what he said they're doing.
- goldenkey 10y agoThat's a joke for what that CD was worth in sheer value to the community of hackers and gamers and modders worldwide for years to come. Once he made that reddit post he sealed his fate. Should hsve just silently torrented it from a coffee shop over Tor. Silly kid.
- scrollaway 10y agoI too wish I could be spending today looking at the SC gold master source code and playing with it, but it's really arrogant to say with definite certainty what this guy "should" have done.
- corobo 10y ago> what that CD was worth in sheer value to the community of hackers and gamers and modders $0?
- goldenkey 10y agoValue isn't always pricable. This was priceless.
