It looks like they did not get away with it, and the law will handle them accordingly. I feel sorry for their families however.
Well i do not think, that it will harm their families, because those people live in "none-game" world probably, such as people around their families (neighbours, friends etc.), i mean that they do not care about PC games and thus will not probably be affected by this "incident". On the other hand, if the game companies, who own the assets stolen in Limbo will take some llegal actions, they will probably notice "something".
BTW, do you think, that those companies will really take some legal actions? The team and the project (Limbo) is really small and "poor" i belive. I also belive that they did not sell many copies of the Limbo the Lost, and thus the big companies would probably see only a little compensation, which might not even be worth it (talking about the need to pay the lawyers etc.) So do you think, there will be some "more serious" legal actions from these big companies?
While they may not get much out of the LotL team, lawsuits will be filed (it has been confirmed by Bethesda). I'm sure the 10+ companies stole from will indeed ensure that LotL is never distributed again, and any money made of the game will end up in their collective hands.
Game studios and publishers are very series about intellectual property, and thus protect it like rabid dogs
The reason I feel sorry for the families is law suits cost money, so they will end up pretty broke at the end of this (at least the direct family ala wife/kids).
I "grabbed" a copy for myself but I don't think I have the will to install it.
