The Steam ‘teraleak’ extends far beyond Valve games, including prototypes of third-party titles like Mafia 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3: ‘This may be one of if not the biggest leaks to occur’

On Saturday, information began circulating online about a massive, 12-terabyte leak of Valve data that included prototypes of numerous classic Valve games.
