For people wanting to play it Day 1, do not forget that until the release, the entire contributive web can be tagged with spoilers.
Schreier is replying the tweet about that disgruntled employee rumor by saying "if it's true, ..." people immediately come to conclusion that Schreier know more about it than us and think the rumor is true while actually Jason is just speculating just like everyone else. he later clarified that he didn't think the rumor is true at all.This might be one of the first instances I can think of Jason Schreier being majorly wrong about something? Didn't he say it was a disgruntled ND employee? I might be misremembering..
Wow what a dick move. That's why I'm not going in any threads even related to it(besides this).Someone here made thread with appearance of TLOU 2 spoilers and toxicity of spoiler culture like that.
Then proceeded to have open TLOU 2 spoilers in opening post.
A lot people got burned.
Could still be considered a hack if the person that got the info wasn't suppose to be there. It's like you left your door wide open and someone walked in and stole your stuff that'll be still considered a burglary.Technically wasn't hacked as there was no authentication to the server past some stuff that the games gave to everyone who launched any ND game.
Naughty Dog will take the blame on this one. Piss poor server management lol.
Basically.
I hope whatever fine they receive is significant but not financially ruinous. That would be too far imo
I remember the hate Nintendo got when they went against the leaker of Sword and Shield and Sony is getting praised. It´s kinda funny.
god this is such a dumb post.What the fuck are you even talking about?
This isn't an argument. You're still ignoring the entire premise of my point which pertains not to the nature of consequences but the manner in which they're being gleefully salivated over.
I also think it's disingenuous to hold someone accountable for what others have done in the wake of their actions. One person made that tweet, and it wasn't the leaker. How about you hold the actual person responsible for that accountable instead?
I'm sorry you faced that harassment but I don't think putting the blame on the leaker is appropriate in that instance.
Well go for it instead of hinting stuff then.
Well I don't know how their pay system works so can't comment but this could potentially affect current or future pay and staff structure.Unless they are getting bonuses, I wouldn't think devs are getting anything substantially more as a result of sales.
I don't doubt that TLOU2 will be a huge success but there could still be a loss of earnings, affect staffing structure or hirings and also reputational damages to the company since the story of this being from a disgruntled employee has made the rounds and will undoubtedly stick in people's minds regardless of what updates this story will have.Yes, it will damage sales, but come on. It will not affect the jobs of hundreds of developers! Maybe instead of selling 20m copies it'll sell 18m. No one should lose their job for that. I could see ND or Sony making an excuse for layoffs, but it's BS. It'll still be a huge success and make a lot of money.
Like that entire twitter thread
JFC, that is a horrible tweet. I am sorry you received that.
And on that topic, I've read a lot of tweets about people being mad that TLOU2 is total "sjw shit" :/
Yikes. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Can't even imagine Neil twitter since the first reveal.
lol
OMG! Well it's shocking that more folks didn't gain access if that's the case. I assume ND shut that down at this point. Sounds like whoever was responsible at ND should be fired.Basically.
Each and every ND game that gets patch updates a key from a server after it gets patched, and that server gives you and millions of other people keys to look at that server. That server did not have any authentication what so ever. As far as I was told once you gave it the key that you had gotten it literally just opened the doors, and where do you think the copy of the game that leaked was :P
I stand by that Sony will never sue over this for a variety of reasons. Just way too hard for something like this.They identified the individuals. This isn't some random third world hacker. It's in the headline mate.
Also, this is not some "I left this out and now the game is spoiled" moment. Someone was intentionally looking. Unless the files were quite literally uploaded to a public repo, there is a breach somewhere.

Am going to quote myself from the other thread.Well go for it instead of hinting stuff then.
It's likely external QA or similar. I was saying "we won't know more than that" regarding names and such.

If OP wants to thread mark this because this is the legitimate way it was taken from ND. Blame them for storing information like that in such a unsecure spot.
The leaker set off a chain reaction that has made some damned fools actually think that it's a great idea to spoil the game 'for the greater good', to fuck the SJWs, or even in a sad state of fighting a console war.
People are actually calling others Nazis just because they don't want this guy to go to jail.
Jesus fucking Christ some of you need to stop worshipping your favorite companies as deities that you have to give your life for and smite any who goes against them.
Childish and sad doesn't come close to describing it.

Not necessarily. It would look worse if it was someone affiliated with ND or Sony. So perhaps Sony is using this language to make it look like an outside party, when it very well could be a contractor.Does "not affiliated to SIE" includes third party contractors?
Is this a possible suspect? He ain't with Sony anymore, right? Maybe revenge against Jim Ryan
Oh I didn't know about that. :|Not the one that was killed during a swatting though, I assume they don't want it to go that far.
Thanks!Am going to quote myself from the other thread.
I also want to point out I literally had nothing to do with the leak. I just was told how it happened.
Didn't that dude that provided a fake address for swatting get like 10-15 years in prison?? The other parties were still on trial last I heard. Caused the death of an innocent person thereNot the one that was killed during a swatting though, I assume they don't want it to go that far.
Yeah my video games are serious business! Lock away the key! Since they weren't an employee they weren't constrained by an NDA so they probably didn't break any laws
That gif is not cool man.
So not even Era is safe? Can mods somehow vet threads before they are postedThere was a thread earlier today made by some poster named crackhead-something-or-other and he baited everyone in and then just dropped massive spoilers.
Acting like this guy murdered someone. They probably get less mad at Trump lmao.
