It reminds me of when unsuspecting thieves accidentally stole a container of Iridium-192 used for industrial radiography from a lab in Mexico, and were eventually arrested and taken to the hospital to be treated for radiation burns.

The FBI should keep an eye on hospitals for anyone showing up with burning bleeding eyes and a swelling itching brains and melting faces, from looking at EA's source code! ;)

Other symptoms include a tendency to participate in death marches, work from 9am to 10pm, abandon spouses and consider every day a crunch.

How is this connected to stealing source code of a computer game?

Because EA makes bad games.

I'm under NDA so I can't tell you. ;) Just be thankful that The Sims doesn't have a "View Source" menu.

Here's an example of some highly toxic code they wasn't intended to escape the lab:

It’s a joke. EA = bad. Reminds me on the kind of comments that are ubiquitous on reddit, which is one of the main reasons I left there.

It’s witty and not dull, but does it bring any value to the discussion? I’d say not really

Hey at least I linked to some actual EA source code that will burn your eyes out. ;)

During that demo around 10:00, I accidentally fat-fingered the mouse and introduced a bug into the outdoor simulation. I couldn't figure out what I'd done or how to fix it, and we hadn't implemented "undo" in the code editor yet, so I just left it in. "There's all sorts of code like this in there. And it's kind of dangerous."
