google doc with picture proof

>beloved mmo gets suddenly shut down
>character databases and source code is copied by a dev and given to Leandro "Megamind" Pardini
>Leandro is a very well known figure in the CoX community and runs the CoH subreddit and has his fingers in the Titan network.
>as soon as 2013 we are getting leaked emails about this "impossible" private server
>these emails detail not only how to log in and play the game, but also donation information for keeping the servers running and how the money is literally piling up and starting to effect their taxes
>a private server run by Leandro, a guy who has systematically stamped out all talks of developing OR there already being a private server for over six whole years
>he does all this while sapping people from the community who would be interested in working on this private server for the public community and locks them in with himself
>this has been happening for years, all while he lets in a small select few people to play on this server
>these people are vetted heavily and given the ability to invite their friends after deeming them worthy
>upon inviting your friends you find megamind is now using them as leverage against you and threatening to nuke them for any of your mistakes
>this manages to keep a lid on it for more than 6 years, any ones that have come out before are brushed off because of any lack of tangible evidence

Also CoH youtubers and journalists from pcgamer talking on this.

Curious. That means that the actual source code might be stored somewhere else as well and that a leak is possible.

As if the internet needed more MMORPG's and capeshit.

No pcgamer interviewed leandro. Hes the only one who has the source code including all original accounts that means credit cards etc. Hes been scamming people and doing gay ops to keep anyone from trying to recreate the game. CoH subreddit has been on full meltdown mode. Autists doxed leandro and trying to swat him. Its pretty crazy atm

Still, I bet he's got a copy in some dropbox somewhere. He'd be foolish to not have a backup.

Probably but hes fucked either way. Its not like he can leak it anonymously anymore.

You sure? He could've always given people emergency links in case shit goes down. If the source code finds it's way online I'd imagine it being next to impossible to actually prove it was he who spread it.

I'm a little lost on how significant this private server actual is.
