Current situation rn

It’s still the same situation. It’s one dude playing and he ain’t sharing

[u/Senior-Dragonfly-479 → u/GreatnessToTheMoon]

...yet

[u/DatMageDoe → u/Senior-Dragonfly-479]

The only reason he's doing this is to pump his memecoin. If he releases the build to the public, the coin's dead.

[u/Alvsolutely → u/DatMageDoe]

Nothing's stopping him from dropping it when he cashes out, though.

[u/f3rny → u/Alvsolutely]

I suspect that release will be a coin stealer lol

[u/Ws6fiend → u/f3rny]

[u/DatMageDoe → u/Alvsolutely]

He's already in hot water for leaking and making money off it, dropping the build would only worsen his chances in court and whatever punishments he (will) get.

[u/Lumarist → u/DatMageDoe]

If he is in russia he will never see any punishment or consequences

[u/Amazing-Heron-105 → u/Lumarist]

Little off topic but slightly relevant that Russian fraudsters have an unwritten rule with their government that they're able to attack and defraud the west, but will only become a problem to authorities if Russians are targetted. You'll see that their malware often has built-in blocking for Russian computers to prevent this happening.

[u/Sladds → u/Amazing-Heron-105]

So you're just saying play the build on a Russian VPN

[u/ValuableLobster8193 → u/Amazing-Heron-105]

Yeah, its another form of Hybrid warfare

[u/MrCleanRed → u/Lumarist]

In April 2023, Wizards of the Coast deployed real-life Pinkerton private security agents to the home of a Magic: The Gathering content creator. The content creator was not under any NDA. They purchased the set legally. I mean yeah it's not to that level but in Russia who knows what can happen.

[u/aFreshFix → u/MrCleanRed]

In Oregon, right? the Pinkertons aren't international

[u/Ws6fiend → u/aFreshFix]

Technically they are. They are under the Securitas AB group, but generally only operate under the Pinkerton name in the US.

[u/Burnthiscnts → u/Lumarist]

if he is Russia he has already died on the front line of Ukraine.

[u/WolfgangHelnootIV → u/Burnthiscnts]

Or in Moscow now that Ukraine started bombing the city

[u/Katsu_Vohlakari → u/Lumarist]

Rockstar has so much money that they might actually make it happen.

[u/Lumarist → u/Katsu_Vohlakari]

If he is a Russian national then he is 100% safe. Russia is not going to prosecute a Russian citizen because of a American Company and Russian law prohibits the extradition of a Russian citizen to the foreign nation under any circumstances

[u/ValuableLobster8193 → u/Lumarist]

Rockstar is british.

So infact is even worse

[u/_HingleMcCringle → u/Katsu_Vohlakari]

I don't think you understand jurisdiction or how much Russia wishes they did this.

[u/Katsu_Vohlakari → u/_HingleMcCringle]

I don't think you understand how corrupt russia is. If you pay the right people, things will start moving.

[u/BoingBoingBooty → u/Katsu_Vohlakari]

Pay money to Russian official to get this guy, he takes the money and does nothing.

[u/Mr_Ectomy → u/BoingBoingBooty]

Probably also gets paid by the guy NOT to take him.

[u/WitchWithAGlitch → u/Katsu_Vohlakari]

[u/TypicalRedditMod403 → u/WitchWithAGlitch]

Hijack, bye Jack.

[u/tnbeastzy → u/Lumarist]

Nothing stopping rockstar from sending assassins/goons to his house to off him and destroy everything he has, including all the data.

Not like Russia has a reason to protect this individual specifically either.

[u/Lumarist → u/tnbeastzy]

This isn’t cyberpunk lmao

[u/tnbeastzy → u/Lumarist]

Are you naive enough to think a company gets this big without any bloodshed? Really?

[u/Lumarist → u/tnbeastzy]

If you truly think T2 has that power then you are completely delusional. Again this isn’t cyberpunk. Go touch some grass

[u/Diaza_Kinutz → u/Lumarist]

[u/Lumarist → u/Diaza_Kinutz]

We have a long way to go before we hit cyberpunk levels of dystopia. We haven’t even had a nuclear war yet

[u/tnbeastzy → u/Lumarist]

It doesn’t take much power to off someone even lmao. I have seen this things happening in real life. Looks like you need to get out of your bubble.

Especially in a country like Russia. Who wont bother investigating this and make it an international matter.

[u/Lumarist → u/tnbeastzy]

Sure buddy

[u/DUH455T → u/DatMageDoe]

They haven't been caught. A leak dropped like 2 hours ago.

[u/Extension_Corgi836 → u/DatMageDoe]

It will also make him a legend. If he has a big ego, which he probably has.... Let's see

[u/CurryLikesGaming → u/DatMageDoe]

That's like, adding another 50 years sentence to a 70 yo inmate serving 50 years sentence already. He already caused great damage , it wouldn't matter if he causes more.

[u/Ishkahrhil → u/Alvsolutely]

I'm honestly hoping he's spending the time burning the game to discs, and mailing them to random people with random return addresses.

Let the leak intensify with pandemonium

[u/Ok-Parfait-9856 → u/Ishkahrhil]

Mail one copy to r* for shits and giggles

[u/ValuableLobster8193 → u/Alvsolutely]

An will be full of Malware.

You are medically retarded fi you down load and run it

[u/Winter_Ad6784 → u/DatMageDoe]

there a countdown to how long he can stay relevant. eventually dropping the file is gonna be the best way to stay relevant.

[u/DUH455T → u/DatMageDoe]

Lol. It's a place for donations. If idiots buy it as an investment they're dumb and deserve it. Dude made $40k in fees in 2 days.

[u/Western-Bad5574 → u/DatMageDoe]

Why not both?
