Leaked 1.3 on the net

Ubi has a history of doing this with patches, at least if IL-2 is an example. They put things in their FTP areas unprotected, then some rep will post how awful it was that it was leaked.

It's very simple, if it's on an official server that is publicly accessible it's public by definition.

This isn't a rant at people here, it's just a funny observation that sometimes devs/publishers get bent out of shape over things they have 100% control over.

Obviously that's different than a beta tester breaking an NDA and putting it out there, etc.
