The part I don't get that no-one has mentioned is that Rockstar stated in court that it cost them $5million to recover from the attack. What does that even mean? They spent $5mil on lawyers to recover the video footage? They spent that on upgrading security (which arguably should have been in place already if they could be hacked with a fire stick and a landline). Or have they been selling $5mil less of Shark Cards than they were expecting?
I'd say the fact that the headline explains the journalist in question has a story to their name probably means they were a legit journalist, not a "spy".
It's quite the jump to say ALL murdered journalists must be dressed correctly at all times, or else it's fair to assume they were an enemy combatant. How many legit journalists do you think it's okay to kill?
I think this is fine and nothing to apologise about. But those that played it on the (then) current gen consoles had an awful time with it.
I understand the majority of players were on PC or newer gen consoles, but it irritates me if PC players argue it was fine because they didn't see those issues. CDPR literally removed it from the PlayStation store and offered everyone refunds it was that bad!
Look, Elon single handedly builds rockets to Mars. He built your Tesla and it's basically a spaceship with wheels. What could possibly be more luxurious?
It's funny because I read through that other thread about creators going downhill and (while I don't know most in either thread) you mention a couple of them here.
I thought the main problem this bill was meant to address was that it was found there were tons of DoD funds being diverted into classified "UFO projects" which were then classified forever. The complete lack of accountability and obfuscation really means they could be channelling that money into literally anything. Someone in the department could be giving it all to their grandma and there would be zero paper trail or oversight.
So it's not exactly far removed from keeping the government in check. Downplaying it as "just silly UFO stuff" is exactly what they want here.
Check my comments. I didn't post on any of this thread yet and I don't have alts, but I downvoted both of you in this absolutely dumb exchange. I don't think that's brigading or trolling.
If you get your hypocrisy called out, shouting and pointing stalker doesn't mean you're suddenly not a hypocrite.
If Labour run anything more left leaning than a rotting horse penis (see Jeremy Corbyn), they will be destroyed by the press and establishment by any means necessary.
Hence the usual choice being akin to Rotting Horse Penis vs Pig Fucker.
Idealistically, you'd hope that the leader of the country would be looking out for their people and doing things that help the people primarily.
Usually when they say that though it's when they're quietly handing out huge contracts to their friends and family to do the thing they're talking about, for example Sunak corruptly giving his wife's company allocations from the national budget.
I think people want to know why they are shitty people.
I can answer after looking at their wiki: seems they like grooming and assaulting kids.
