Cain said he wasn't allowed to save the original Fallout's source code for his own archive, and some of its assets may be lost for good.

    Isnt any source Code considered a company secret? I know no company that would allow company secrets on personal PCs.

    I cant believe I defend Bethesda that i’ve been shitting on since Fallout 4.

      Tim Cain worked for Interplay on the original Fallout games. Not really relevant to Bethesda.

      Also this is an old story with a happy ending. The source code is not lost, and it’s possible it may get released at some point if it hasn’t already.

            What did you try to say then? I don’t get the idea behind the comment.

            Btw, if I logged into my Email Account from a private device, I would get in huge trouble. Arent companies usually like that when it comes to IT?

              They are not, generally, no. And as you know, whether you send secret info or not, company secrets can be stored on any number of devices, phones/laptops/etc.

    If you’re wondering why he didn’t just go rogue and save everything anyway, Cain noted ownership disputes are not to be taken lightly: “They told me to destroy it. I did … When you’re being threatened with a lawsuit, you delete it all.”
