Dear Eidos,

We, the fans of the Thief series (including Thief: The Dark Project, Thief Gold, and Thief 2: The Metal Age) are asking you to release all of the old, unused Thief material that was left incomplete when Looking Glass Studios went out of business (source code, beta/alpha versions, Thief 2 Gold, etc.). We are asking this because of similar actions taken by other game companies. For example, id Software released the early versions of Doom because of both high demand and value.

What we have in mind is that you release it along with
Thief 3. Everyone in support will certainly buy this package, regardless of price. This will attract more customers to the game, which would bring in more revenue to your company.

We sincerely hope you consider this idea. It will help both you and the entire Eidos gaming community and every other game oriented community, both online and in the media.

    • I agree that what has been dropped should be given to the fans for non-profit use.

    • Eidos has never cared before, i don't see why they would now. No matter how much you beg and plead they never care unless there's something in it for them. But things change... sometimes.

    • As Thief FMs designer and Thief fan I would love to see some new (old) Thief related material. I am even ready to pay more for T3 (+ T1 & 2 old material) package.

    • I would gladly pay for this material, whether was included in the basic Thief III, or if it was part of a Collectors Edition.
