- A massive cache of Valve data has reportedly appeared online.
- The leak includes old builds from 2003 to 2013, including a cancelled precursor to Portal 2.
- Elsewhere, the leak includes content for CS:GO and various other titles.
Valve has become a highly respected company over its multiple decades of existence, with millions of PC gamers trusting Steam.
The platform is practically unbeatable on PC, but Steam is not infallible. Although Steam’s security is praiseworthy, Valve recently appears to have suffered a major data leak worth 12TB.
Why it matters: These leaks reveal insights into Valve’s plans for various games and multiple cancelled projects over the years.
As reported by Gabe Follower, Valve has reportedly suffered a huge data leak, with a cache said to contain around 12TB of internal files and various development material from various games.
The leaked data appears to include Portal 2’s long-discussed beta build and even a potential weapon connected to Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Other games like CS:GO and Left 4 Dead 2 are also included in the leak.
Interestingly, the leaked files also point to F-Stop, the cancelled precursor to Portal 2. It is said that the leak is related to the Steam content-server infrastructure, so it covers files from 2003 to 2013.
Unfortunately, this means that the rumors of Half-Life 3 will not be validated by this particular Valve leak.
On the subject of leaks, GTA 6 was also leaked quite a bit over the last few days. Moreover, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was leaked ahead of its release, so it seems the trend of leaks is continuing with Valve joining the fray.
