Hmm no, actually game source code leaks have become a very common thing since the Internet has been popularized. Quite a few number of games have had their sources stolen this way. Notably I believe Descent III and one of the GTA (can't remember which one) were in the lot. Don't take my word for it because I have nothing (but my leaked memory ) to back this up, but I'm sure a quick search would give you the names of the titles that have been leaked publicly in the past.
