Leaks keep popping up in the gaming landscape. Just the gigantic leak too GTA 6 last year has attracted a lot of attention, far from the actual expressiveness of the material. And the year 2023 is barely two weeks old when there are already reports about the next big data leak. After all, a large amount of data has gotten onto the web at Valve, which was never intended for the public.
What was leaked?
Explicitly, these are assets of the games Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and 2, Half-Life 2: Multiplayer, Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat: Source. The user “Wandererleaker”, who claims to have had the data with him since 2016, is responsible for the leak. “I just don’t care anymore. I played around with the stuff for a few years, didn’t upload anything as I was threatened every time“, according to the leaker. The data directories that the leaker has provided are immense.
For example, Insider Gaming and Pcgamer both emphasize the size of all leaked data for Team Fortress 2. Finally, they have it 61GB of models, maps, textures and other files thus made it into the net. Right here, fans have already found unreleased material. However, there is currently no expectation of finding groundbreaking things with titles like Half-Life or Portal. In any case, the leak is repeatedly dubbed the largest in Valve’s history.
