i dont think e game itself will leaked but i think things will be confirmed that we have suspected and we will find out lots of new things because if people can play it at pax theresno way they will all just not tell us what they saw and played. but nobody will steal the game on a usb. atleast i would hope not...
Hmmm it would be a good way of advertising the new update virally- if it gets leaked I can't see there being a massive issue, the majority of people who'd be interested in the leak would be exisiting Minecraft players (they've already bought the game so there would be no loss in revenue) so if they were to download a leak of 1.8, play it & post about it online- it'd be one hell of a viral campaign.
Not sure if this theory makes sense to anyone else, but in my head it does aha.
I would prefer to wait for the official release of 1.8, even if it does get leaked. That being said, hopefully 1.8 is released soon after. I'm getting bored with survival, to be honest.
Edit: Its pretty major for an indie game. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that.
20% of the time on youtube under entertainment or music, a parody or LP will apear on the main page. 3,239,148 (according to main page) people have bought the game, and its not even fully released. Tons of people on this forums daily.
So I wholeheartedly agree.
I think it won't be leaked, Notch isn't going anyway (I think, isn't he getting married?) and I'm pretty sure someone might notice if a kid copies the files in front of everyone.
Videos would be nice, I'm sure some dude looking to get subs on youtube will record it.

Not an impossible thing, but is it really worth to play unfinished bugged version with about only 40% of upcoming features?
From what source do you guess "40% done" from? The update itself (feature wise) is most likely finished, and notch himself said it will be released "Soon after PAX" When that is, is anyone's guess, but Notch is very fast at bug fixing, so I bet that within two days after he gets some feedback from PAX, he will release it. But that's only a guess.
As for the question, if Notch "leaks" it, it will be because it is the "surprise release". He wouldn't give us an untested version. That would be nuts. (Even though big companies often do it.)

There's a reason he's called "The Sisko"

I agree for the most part. But I know its not finished. notch and jeb have said so on their twitters. they had to leave things out of PAX because there are features they haven't finished and/or dont completely agree on yet.
Well then, the OP never implied that, so how do you know..?
I mean't the actual game :tongue.gif:
And I'm trying to say it wouldn't be a bad decision for Notch to leak it, even with the bugs, because it would be a leak, not an official update. Those who want to wait for the actual update can wait, and those who are dying to play 1.8 can test it out and help Notch with the bug fixes. Doubt it's going to happen, though. But there's always a chance.
its still illegal

Most likely not.
I'm thinking early September. It depends on how much feedback they get.
