Re:Security? (Score 1)

At the CPL events, which are very similar to QuakeCon, they usually have a few unreleased games on 10-20 demo machines there, most recently UT2k3/4 at the last few events. When leaks of the early versions of UT2k3 surfaced, Intel and NVidia (who ran the exhibition booths) started standing people around their show comps, watching the players like hawks. The leaks became a bit less widespread. Given that Doom 3 is what id has been solely working on for, oh, the last 6 years or so, I think that their security will be tight as a drum.

Of course, it'd be much harder for them to keep tabs on their own volunteer staff, considering that during event setup, they have easy access to all the tourney machines, all the exhibition machines, and certainly easier access to the distribution media for the game...
