Larian Studios is offering a $5000 reward for stolen PCs containing alpha code.
GamesCom 2012: Divinity developer Larian Studios has been the victim of a theft from the business area at GamesCon 2012 which saw two desktop PCs taken from the show.
The PCs contained alphas of both Dragon Commander and Divinity: Original Sin, which Larian was demoing at the show and which we'd planned to see tomorrow - how could we resist the lure of dragons, jetpacks and strategy?
The studio is now offering a $5000 USD reward for information resulting in the successful return of the PCs or the identification of the culprit.
We, meanwhile, will be shown the games on back-up units - which is good because
Dragon Commander really impressed us at GamesCom 2011. There's even a little exclusive on the game in the upcoming Issue 109 of Custom PC Magazine...
"
We're asking the game community to band together to track these criminals down and to get the games back!" the developer said in a press release.
Anyone with information about the theft is urged to get in touch as soon as possible - visit the Larian booth at the Business Hall 4.2, Booth A-16.
