caught wind of the sonic 2 HD drama lately? turns out LOst slipped a keylogger in the recent alpha release, they discharged him from the project just now, he also was behind all the anal DRM

it already compromised at least one or two players' computers and online accounts from what i've heard

first tweaker touches a kid, and now LOst sabotages a fangame with malware that actually managed to inflict damage. something bad is in the sonic scene's water...

So... The word on the street is that a copy of the game was leaked on Steam earlier today, but unfortunately, it ended up getting taken down, most likely by Sega's request. On the bright side, though, there are people who managed to download it before that happened, and there's some video footage of both Episode II and Episode Metal uploaded on Youtube:
