Konami Takes Legal Action to Trace Metal Gear Solid 2 Source Code Leak

Konami filed a California lawsuit on June 2 to identify the person who leaked Metal Gear Solid 2's source code, which surfaced on 4chan and two file‑sharing sites; it issued cease‑and‑desist orders and is seeking subpoenas to preserve data and identify the leaker, but the court denied those subpoenas for now due to insufficient due‑diligence evidence, leaving Konami pursuing the source of the leak while fans explore potential cut content in the code.
