    It’s probably some 20 year old who thinks they are making a statement. They are getting gassed up by people agreeing with with stated goal. But gonna really regret it a year from now when they are screwed and everyone forgot

      Yeah it’s important to keep perspective. To Take Two this represents material loss, millions of dollars potentially gone, ruining an entire marketing campaign and wasting shitloads of money. (Remember, whether or not you agree, that’s their perspective).

      To this hacker’s perspective, it is a 100 dollar game. Do I agree with the fact that gaming has gotten insanely shitty? Absolutely. However at the end of the day it’s a game, and you’re gambling your entire future livelihood and wellbeing.

        material loss

        This is the one I take issue with. If selling your game involves secrecy and hype, rather than making a good game, then that is solely their fault for a poor business decision.

          Yah if you have argue that your lies were undermined in order to prove “damages” (dubious) then I feel like you have to buy everyone lunch for wasting their time.

          Really it’s free advertising. Their shitty response to the leaks is doing the biggest damage imo. Like what a bunch of fucking chuds of the most unchill demeanour.

          Like I want to buy a game glorifying a life of total criminal freedom from a bunch of nerds who whine over some leaked mp5s. Rofl gtfo guys
