EM has nothing to do with where the files are at all.:weird:
They wouldn't hide it. They don't even have it.
When LGS in Boston, Massachusetts was shut down, all the furniture, computers, hardware, software, were boxed up, and shipped elsewhere. We know some of it showed up at Ion Storm in Austin, Texas. We don't know if it was ALL shipped to Texas, and the devs had no idea what may have happened to the source code. Then Ion Storm was shut down, and nobody we know has any idea where all the furniture, computers, hardware, and software were shipped to. We don't know if the boxes of all that stuff were unpacked. We don't know where it's being stored, what may have been thrown away, what city or state it's in (presumably it never left the United States). We don't know what was auctioned off to people that weren't employees of Eidos.
We're dealing with real life getting in the way of our dreams, but we have not given up. Until all possibilities are explored, we will not give up.
You know.. I was going to post something like this here today.. but I decided not too.. didnt want to be the one to bring everyone down. Did some looking up of info about the computers and stuff... they were all auctioned off.. hard drives and all so unless somebody knows who bought those machines..

Thankfully Eidos bought a lot of it, and when the devs were brought on to Ion Storm to work on TDS, they found their old computers were back, with the same desktop wallpapers. It was probably surreal.
I'm waiting to hear the official word from Eidos/EM/René to find out what the real situation is they're up against for tracking the disc(s) down.

jtr7, New Horizon: Yes, I do know about the difference between EM and E, and about that auction. When I spoke about cynicism, I had meant: if they (Eidos Montreal, not Eidos the parent company) manage to find the source of T1&T2.
P.S. 683 signs so far.

That still doesn't explain why you said what you did, as though questioning us.
Let's see if we can hit the 700-mark before next weekend.:cool:

jtr7: Perhaps I am too cynical to say what I did:o. Nevermind.
P.S. 690 signs so far.

:joke: 10 more ppl... :joke:
We shall be remembered... Victorious we shall be...
In finding out that one of the former ttlg employees just realized that old hd in his old comp just happened to be the last spot where we'd find the source code...
... tho he formatted the hd instead :o :joke:

I wonder: if René doesn't manage to find the T1 and/or T2 source, should we ask Eidos for the...T3 source then? I know, my question is as impudent and cynical (as I am), but...
MoroseTroll on 8/6/2009 at 14:40
Well, I'm not definitely as talented as Matsuo Bashō:joke::
A trees are green around me
But I can't feel their joy
So where is the source?

T3 is probably much more unrealistic, because they licensed the Unreal Engine and most likely don't have the rights to give away the source code to a third party, let alone open sourcing it.

There will be records of those transactions.
