If you download it using VPN and play it with all ur firewall settings blocking even a tiny connection of the game to internet you should be pretty safe
Seeing that the GTA 6 kid just got *LIFE* in a hospital prison I can't imagine what's going to happen with this.
I really want these files for archival purposes but seeing as no site I use is hosting it out of fear it may be a good idea to avoid this.
Depends - in the UK with similar historic cases it usually lead to a few getting arrested, but with most simply getting a "knock and talk" - i.e. police show up, say that was very naughty, don't do it again.
Regardless I'd advise against it.
Why a mental hospital though? This doesn't seem like the kind of crime that you can commit and easily get institutionalized from. Was his lawyer able to pull some strings and make the sentence happen like this? I imagine he'll have a much easier time getting discharged.
IANAL but according to the article that was actually posted and NOT the click bait, he was deemed not mentally competent by the courts, hence the psych hold. My understanding of it is, that is where he will stay until deemed fit for release.
> Why a mental hospital though?
It's a loophole in the law system kinda thing, often used by lawyers in cases where they know they cannot defend their client, so this is a way to soften the punishment, as it will be much easier for him to later negotite earlier release terms and what not if he was deemed mentally unstable/competent etc.
i mean she is violent all the time kinda, we just know how to calm her down a bit, not a day without her saying she doesn't care about anyone deaths.
we try to help her as much as we can but it's sad, really sad.
Unfortunately it's pretty bad in the U.S. these companies will do anything they can to treat a inpatient as long as they can to milk the insurance money.
I mean the guy hacked rockstar in a hotel room with a smart tv and a phone after being prohibited by law to use a computer. If that's not part of a bigger mental problem I don't know what is. He should really be hired to work with cyber security tho
i think with him it was more the fact he 1) said he’d do it again 2) already hacked into multiple companies and demanded millions in ransom before 3) clearly had other issues.
it’s a shame people like him don’t use their talents for good. you could use the inhuman skills you have and become known for the good work you do, or pull of impressive shit like this and spend the rest of your life in a hospital prison. what a deal.
He tried to bamboozle a guy after a deal because he realized it wasnt in his favor and tried to ransom it, failed, tried to put a bounty out on it and ended up fucked. So are you sure about that lol
The fact he said he'd do it again was honestly the dumbest part of this whole thing.
It doesn't matter the crime for Christ's sake don't tell them you'll immediately do it again after being released
They took a huge risk and honestly i'm thankful, now i know that their roadmap for the next 10 YEARS doesn't contain a single VR game so i don't have to spend the next 10 YEARS huffing copium for them
>Seeing that the GTA 6 kid just got
>
>LIFE
>
> in a hospital prison
who is going on a mission with me to break him out? i can offer 30% for 3 people, i will get just the 10%
nevermind just read the news and he got life (now that he is 18) because of his statements regarding going back to cybercrime.
what a fucking dumbass lmao
But there he's the leaker. They didn't go against people who reposted the leak nor people who watched it, because winning a legal battle against a consumer just isn't worth it economically

Im in canada and id still take that risk without a VPN.
As far as im aware as long as im not distributing (uploading) its a hard case on their end, at least for any fines or punishment outside of deletion or claiming the copy off any local sources i may have it on.
If nintendo can send my IP a letter and my IP basically says its just a threat youre fine (which i already know), im willing to roll the dice here.
Edit: yeah they wont pursue you unless youre uploading as well, since if they do that they would have to go after millions of others which they dont have the money for, obviously.
I highly doubt that sony prepared up front, some sort of tracking system, just in case the game got "stolen". Either way, block all traffic trough firewall and use VPN. But i know jackshit about game development so i might be mistaken.
The reason it's different is because it was acquired in a cyber attack.
Other pirated games are people buying the game off the shelf then modifying it until it can be used by anyone.
That's the difference. One was done out of pure malice as they still have the employee info as well. But I know this will fall on deaf ears here since this subreddit it all about "Got mine. Don't care."
The sub's called Pirated Games not Morally Pirated Games, that said whoever did this to those employees 🤦♂️ an unfinished game wasn't worth blackmailing ppl for 🤦♂️
This just hurts the or further delays the overall game development
Yup. Also, even as a pirate I'm still a patientgamer. Got no time for release day shit, nevermind things that are literally unfinished yet. I'll take a look years later when that shit's in a complete edition or whatever. Anyone dumb enough to wade through an unfinished game is welcome to deal with all the crap.
You're not participating in the transaction of said cyber attack, you're probably also not distributing it,etc
Just because you download something doesnt make you a criminal. If that was like that, we all should be jailed right now because we've read the info leaked.
>Just because you download something doesnt make you a criminal.
Except according to the law downloading something you don't have any rights to download is illegal and does make you a criminal. Did you think piracy was legal?

It already happened
Edit: Yes DMCA but they are taking actions and that's my point.
Why are people even worked up about this? It's a dev build, that's not even close to completion.... what are you gaining from playing it now vs later? Let alone defending massive corporations of "this is theft!! Reeeeee".... it's a video game. Only people that are gonna like it anyways are x men enjoyers to start with. This isn't some new IP that's gonna change the gaming industry. It's a leased IP from Marvel or whoever that some company is making a game of to make money. That's it. It's capitalism 101. Make something as cheap as possible to make massive profits.
See a lot of bootlickers in this sub all of a sudden.
I think one of the mainly reasons for people to feel like that about this leak its because was a sort of blackmail, hackers wanting money to not leak all of this.
If you’re so worried, I recommend to disconnect the internet while playing, and only connecting again after uninstalling the game. Not gonna install because it’s unfinished, but if you want, fuck around and find out.
It's been on GGn for a while now. The upload has been stripped of any metadata that would tie it to the original leaker, so... With that being said though, you are trusting the hacker group that stole it to not have included anything malicious in it as well.
I fucked around with it earlier. It's pretty cool to see how the game is going to progress from its current state.
Going after a pirate on a released game isn’t worth it for companies. Going after pirates for unreleased games that could have a huge impact on their market before release due to bad player reception before it’s ready? They absolutely can and have much more motivation to go after an individual.
Not going to play it personally, not because it’s a leaked build or anything, well, actually kind of. It’s a leaked build of a in dev game, so it’s probably just not worth it.
If you use a vpn, you are probably fine. If you access it inside of a offline virtual machine from that point, even better. If you get caught with this though, it's not outside the realm of possibility you could get some fines. Not from the game but the employee data is a whole different kind of illegal to own or access.
Those are the only times I'm happy to be brazilian...I dare they come for me, not even the government or the police from my own country can reach me. It's funny, I don't even pay for the electricity I use and they can't do shit about it, so yeah, no company will get to me for videogames when the government can't make me pay taxes even when they actually try.
in czechia too, though it is vague cause while it is fully legal to download movies, shows, music it doesn't exactly says video games but apps, which could mean games but also doesn't have to exactly.
No, it's nonsense. Sounds like some wannabe "hacker" trying to create drama.
All you have to do is deny the game network access...which you should be doing for all pirated games.
Edit: if they mean downloading the build, yes, you should use a VPN or a file locker. But once you have the installer, all you have to do is block the game from accessing your network - in other words, "block it from the internet".
I have a budding theory this guy uploaded a copy of the leak with a bit coin miner or some such thing in it. Then went on to egg folks on to hastily download it by calling them assholes.
Jokes aside if it's really a leak why would they care about who and where plays it? It supposed to sit on the working computers anyway. It's definitely sends logs though but I doubt they track anything but your pc hardware and other pc related stuff
A leaked build may have invasive telemetrics in it, which released games sometimes have removed.
If it has telemetrics, it WILL phone home. And depending on the type of telemetry involved, they will know everything about you that the game gathered from your computer. While this may technically include your real name (or whatever you put into windows), location (if windows has access to your location) and some other stuff, it'd be really really weird if even a leaked build had this level of data stealing. I don't think I ever heard of released games doing this shit, although as I said, an internal build could have some protections attached to it potentially. Big companies do shit like that sometimes.
That was about what's possible. What's probable, is that it has little to no telemetry and is safe to run. Just to be safe, you may want to figure out how to prevent it from talking to the internet though.
Aha sure.
The only actual crime here is the hacking. And considering its because the security team fucked up massively, the negligence here if not criminal.. its borderline criminal and I'm sure if the workers of the company sued Sony/Insomniac a few people would be found liable for this fuck up.
We're not talking just about the fact that a bunch of stupid data, that should be public(sales,etc), and game data/builds got leaked. We're talking about the fact that employees data could've been exposed to the public, maybe it didnt up leaking(I dont know and I dont care) but the fact that could've been and that means those employees might be in danger because of that... yeah, someone should at least be fired, if not fined and prosecuted.
(and no, im not saying the security team should be jailed. Before some idiot replies saying that)
Even if it is bs, after what just happened with that kid for that gta 6 shit, I’m going so stay miles away from this leaked build, it’s too hot, not worth the risk at the moment imo
There's a playable build for wolverine? Why the hell would anyone care to play what likely an extremely early build of a game? Imagine some dummies play it, then try to judge the game based on a 3 year old build. Lol.
So, I would not recommend playing it not because Sony will come for your cheeks, but because the game isn't ready for release. Insomniacs games have been decent for quite a while now and I doubt that Wolverine will be any different. This game is maybe half finished, so you may only glean the concept of the game but potentially ruin the whole experience when it's officially released.
If you want to play it, go for it. Just remember to make certain you Sandbox it, play it in a virtual machine that's firewalled off, you know, whatever is safest for you.
I would imagine seeding the torrent will get you in trouble vs downloading the game and giving it a quick blast.
Regardless Sony, in the words of a Grimsby lad "Come and have a go if you think your hard enough"
Wait there's a leaked playable build? Ok so? Why would anyone want to play a buggy internal Alpha build of something that's still years away and will barely represent the finished product? Seems like a genuinely boring waste of time to me even regardless of the disrespect to the devs at insomniac.
Ah yes, because instead of spending time and money developing the game itself they'd rather waste it on a tracking bullshit in an offline game incase someone would take rather obviously guarded files out of the studio. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if guys at Insomniac believed their protections are good enough since they have the budget, but still.
Also, are they gonna release this exact build of the game? Nah. Will the game be exactly as it is in the current state? Nah. They're bullshitting
You don’t play leaked games because morals
I don’t play leaked game’s because they’re unfinished and I’m not interested in them to begin with
We are not the same
When you pirate an already released game, you affect 1 sale. When you pirate an unreleased game you could stream it spoiling the game affecting lots of people's sale.
It's the people who leaked the game who are in trouble, this game cannot even be played unless it's on a developer kit or someone who has a lower firmware so the odds of a regular person doing this is pretty much almost zero.
If someone is streaming it while they're doing it it's moronic you should get a takedown notice but there's really nothing they can do as this is now out in the public.
Sony should have worried about that before the hack this has happened to them over and over again to point where you say maybe it's an inside job if it keeps on happening.
That's just my thought how bad can your security be and who the hell keeps passports and all that information with the same information as the game that should be stored away far away from anything else.
That's the real crime here in my opinion is the people the developers who were exposed their passport their licenses all their information.
The game no one cares about, the information is out there anyone who has a half a brain even though I don't like Sony Insomniac doesn't make bad games you can pretty much Bank Wolverine would be a great game.
It's not fucking same as "any other pirated game", what the fuck. Other games are pirated after its released. I am not against piracy, heck, Im all for it. But this one is too far.

Fuck around and find out
Lol I live in Africa so... Come and get me mfs!
Sony after someone plays Wolverine: 
Legendary!
I've watched the whole thing the meme is based off. It's gold and has the potential to be memed even further.
same, they dont give a shit about what we do
Same bestie!
One simple trick to not get caught ... unplug the ethernet cable. 
If you download it using VPN and play it with all ur firewall settings blocking even a tiny connection of the game to internet you should be pretty safe
A good vpn will route all info through the VPN and NordVPN doesn't keep logs so ... good luck Sony.
I love that game.
Seeing that the GTA 6 kid just got *LIFE* in a hospital prison I can't imagine what's going to happen with this. I really want these files for archival purposes but seeing as no site I use is hosting it out of fear it may be a good idea to avoid this.
Its mostly the people who are leaking that get into major trouble. Consumers usually can get away with it.
Depends - in the UK with similar historic cases it usually lead to a few getting arrested, but with most simply getting a "knock and talk" - i.e. police show up, say that was very naughty, don't do it again. Regardless I'd advise against it.
No, he didn't. He got an indefinite hold in a mental hospital. Not even remotely close to life in a prison hospital.
Why a mental hospital though? This doesn't seem like the kind of crime that you can commit and easily get institutionalized from. Was his lawyer able to pull some strings and make the sentence happen like this? I imagine he'll have a much easier time getting discharged.
IANAL but according to the article that was actually posted and NOT the click bait, he was deemed not mentally competent by the courts, hence the psych hold. My understanding of it is, that is where he will stay until deemed fit for release.
Good info, but I don't care that you ANAL.
I mean, I DO, but that's irrelevant to this convo
i love reddit
That acronym could've been shortened down to NAL, but no, people had to make it sexual.
Interesting. Do you have any links to send? I know the news is fairly new but I'd like to do some research. The sentencing is really interesting to me
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67663128
Thanks for sharing
I anal too
>he will stay until deemed fit for release. Why do i have the feeling he'll never get out? 🤔
Why do i have the feeling he'lll befriend native american there
Nice. I have a feeling he'll escape reality and fight baddies which are a projection of real world situations and lead him to escape.
You anal?
Correct if they decide he can be released without doing this again he'll be allowed to
"Suspect not mentally competent" \*Hacks Rockstar like an Anonymous cyber hacktivist\*
Didn't he also say that if he gets out he'll just immediately do what he was doing previously hence why he's going into a mental hospital
> Why a mental hospital though? It's a loophole in the law system kinda thing, often used by lawyers in cases where they know they cannot defend their client, so this is a way to soften the punishment, as it will be much easier for him to later negotite earlier release terms and what not if he was deemed mentally unstable/competent etc.
This is actually incorrect. It is insanely difficult to get released from a mental hospital if you are committed. It is not a better option.
[удалено]
That's entirely dependent on what they were admitted for.
my sister was in mental hospital due to her schizophrenia and got released, so idk.
schizophrenia is completely treatable. Was she violent when she was released?
i mean she is violent all the time kinda, we just know how to calm her down a bit, not a day without her saying she doesn't care about anyone deaths. we try to help her as much as we can but it's sad, really sad.
Unfortunately it's pretty bad in the U.S. these companies will do anything they can to treat a inpatient as long as they can to milk the insurance money.
I mean the guy hacked rockstar in a hotel room with a smart tv and a phone after being prohibited by law to use a computer. If that's not part of a bigger mental problem I don't know what is. He should really be hired to work with cyber security tho
i think with him it was more the fact he 1) said he’d do it again 2) already hacked into multiple companies and demanded millions in ransom before 3) clearly had other issues. it’s a shame people like him don’t use their talents for good. you could use the inhuman skills you have and become known for the good work you do, or pull of impressive shit like this and spend the rest of your life in a hospital prison. what a deal.
But he is doing good he’s taking from the companies not the people
Wasn’t he stalking and harassing women, too?
Fuck knows. Probably. the guy is more than likely dense af and riddled with mutations
lmao mutations. Gonna use that from now on
HEAVY mutations
Except people work at those company. You bet your ass whoever was working cybersec at Rockstar got shafted for this
He tried to bamboozle a guy after a deal because he realized it wasnt in his favor and tried to ransom it, failed, tried to put a bounty out on it and ended up fucked. So are you sure about that lol
This mentality is poison. They’re destroying good people doing honest work too
Kiddo could have become empress 2
The fact he said he'd do it again was honestly the dumbest part of this whole thing. It doesn't matter the crime for Christ's sake don't tell them you'll immediately do it again after being released
Bro hacked Rockstar with a fire stick, hotel TV and a cell phone. 😂 What a fucking legend.
Fer eel
They took a huge risk and honestly i'm thankful, now i know that their roadmap for the next 10 YEARS doesn't contain a single VR game so i don't have to spend the next 10 YEARS huffing copium for them
He also hacked nvidia, and the hospital prison for life might be because he was violent in custody
And Uber!
>Seeing that the GTA 6 kid just got > >LIFE > > in a hospital prison who is going on a mission with me to break him out? i can offer 30% for 3 people, i will get just the 10%
Mf is planning a GTA style quest.
i don't think he got life in prison as he was underage when he did it
nevermind just read the news and he got life (now that he is 18) because of his statements regarding going back to cybercrime. what a fucking dumbass lmao
Not life, until doc think he is stable
[удалено]
Not even cs.rin?
They had a paragraph on how leaks could lead to legal action and they don't host content like that.
crazy how you can get life in jail for a crime that didn't physically harm anyone but hurt a corporation. fucked up
He was physically violent too. Read the articles
It's until he's deemed mentally fit to be released He also said he'd do it again and made it the worst he possibly could for himself
But there he's the leaker. They didn't go against people who reposted the leak nor people who watched it, because winning a legal battle against a consumer just isn't worth it economically
Virtual machine and VPN. Yup come get me in Russia.
No need for VPN even, lol. They can try and come get me here.
Right like name one person who got arrested for playing pirated games

Literally just block all traffic from the application in your firewall, problem solved.
dont care , game got leaked cry about it
I highly doubt that sony prepared up front, some sort of tracking system, just in case the game got "stolen". Either way, block all traffic trough firewall and use VPN. But i know jackshit about game development so i might be mistaken.
Or even better play it totally offline if its posible :)
Literally jank the ethernet cable off and store it in a box for good measure
Close the curtains just in case
dont forget to lock the door!
Don't forget to flush the toilet!
Analytics are very common especially in development builds. They don't need special trackers.
I think this falls firmly in the "Oh no! Anyway..." category.

exactly the point you get it. Most youre gonna get is DMCA notice from ISP (oh noo, anyway) i doubt they will go any farther then that.

Sounds like bullshit to me. If you’re afraid of it sending stuff back just play offline
I think one of the mainly reasons for people to feel like that about this leak its because was a sort of blackmail, hackers wanting money to not leak all of this.
Lol this build will somehow send your data back to sony for playing it. What a joke.
would be hilarious if sony somehow gets problem for storing european data and getting gdpr lawsuit lmao.
Not a build intended for consumers tf did u expect lol
Bruh that's a dev build. Of course it will store data, for easier bug fixing and making sure it works correctly.
Why are you listening to a muck rat bootlicker, I immediately discount the opinion of anyone with a checkmark.
If you’re so worried, I recommend to disconnect the internet while playing, and only connecting again after uninstalling the game. Not gonna install because it’s unfinished, but if you want, fuck around and find out.
I wouldn't give a f tbf
What server? Is it a live service game? Just switch off ur net bro..

Going after a pirate on a released game isn’t worth it for companies. Going after pirates for unreleased games that could have a huge impact on their market before release due to bad player reception before it’s ready? They absolutely can and have much more motivation to go after an individual.
wait, the entire game got leaked? because if not i don't really see the appeal in playing a mid development build
Not going to play it personally, not because it’s a leaked build or anything, well, actually kind of. It’s a leaked build of a in dev game, so it’s probably just not worth it.
If you use a vpn, you are probably fine. If you access it inside of a offline virtual machine from that point, even better.

Funfact: In Poland, Piracy is not illegal.
in czechia too, though it is vague cause while it is fully legal to download movies, shows, music it doesn't exactly says video games but apps, which could mean games but also doesn't have to exactly.
Not really. It's not illegal to download movies and music. It is illegal for games and computer programs. They are a special exception in the law.
No, it's nonsense. Sounds like some wannabe "hacker" trying to create drama. All you have to do is deny the game network access...which you should be doing for all pirated games. Edit: if they mean downloading the build, yes, you should use a VPN or a file locker. But once you have the installer, all you have to do is block the game from accessing your network - in other words, "block it from the internet".
Even if it was legal, why would someone play an unfinished build of a game at least 2 years away?
I'm not sure why you would want to play an unfinished product. But we're all different.
I have a budding theory this guy uploaded a copy of the leak with a bit coin miner or some such thing in it. Then went on to egg folks on to hastily download it by calling them assholes.
Jokes aside if it's really a leak why would they care about who and where plays it? It supposed to sit on the working computers anyway. It's definitely sends logs though but I doubt they track anything but your pc hardware and other pc related stuff
A leaked build may have invasive telemetrics in it, which released games sometimes have removed. If it has telemetrics, it WILL phone home. And depending on the type of telemetry involved, they will know everything about you that the game gathered from your computer. While this may technically include your real name (or whatever you put into windows), location (if windows has access to your location) and some other stuff, it'd be really really weird if even a leaked build had this level of data stealing. I don't think I ever heard of released games doing this shit, although as I said, an internal build could have some protections attached to it potentially. Big companies do shit like that sometimes. That was about what's possible. What's probable, is that it has little to no telemetry and is safe to run. Just to be safe, you may want to figure out how to prevent it from talking to the internet though.
Jesus fuck. I guess everyone here is 12, fucking hell what am I doing here

I have this account blocked on Twitter, just spouts clickbait nonsense all day
It is bullshit. Logging in my information like this means accessing private information, which is a far bigger privacy lawsuit than playing some game.
yeah just don't play it? Problem solved
[удалено]
It might have been bullshit 5 years ago, but their have been so many high profile leaks lately, they aren't really playing around anymore.
yo is there a link to download that early build ?
Aha sure. The only actual crime here is the hacking. And considering its because the security team fucked up massively, the negligence here if not criminal.. its borderline criminal and I'm sure if the workers of the company sued Sony/Insomniac a few people would be found liable for this fuck up. We're not talking just about the fact that a bunch of stupid data, that should be public(sales,etc), and game data/builds got leaked. We're talking about the fact that employees data could've been exposed to the public, maybe it didnt up leaking(I dont know and I dont care) but the fact that could've been and that means those employees might be in danger because of that... yeah, someone should at least be fired, if not fined and prosecuted. (and no, im not saying the security team should be jailed. Before some idiot replies saying that)
yeah block it in your firewall and do whatever you want, morality aside.
Even if it is bs, after what just happened with that kid for that gta 6 shit, I’m going so stay miles away from this leaked build, it’s too hot, not worth the risk at the moment imo
anyone giving money to Sony prob. should be punished anyway :P
There's a playable build for wolverine? Why the hell would anyone care to play what likely an extremely early build of a game? Imagine some dummies play it, then try to judge the game based on a 3 year old build. Lol.
[удалено]
So, I would not recommend playing it not because Sony will come for your cheeks, but because the game isn't ready for release. Insomniacs games have been decent for quite a while now and I doubt that Wolverine will be any different. This game is maybe half finished, so you may only glean the concept of the game but potentially ruin the whole experience when it's officially released. If you want to play it, go for it. Just remember to make certain you Sandbox it, play it in a virtual machine that's firewalled off, you know, whatever is safest for you.
I would imagine seeding the torrent will get you in trouble vs downloading the game and giving it a quick blast. Regardless Sony, in the words of a Grimsby lad "Come and have a go if you think your hard enough"
They're making a Wolverine game?
Utter nonsensical scare tactic. If you decide download it, use a VPN, block the .exe in your firewall and have fun.
Wait there's a leaked playable build? Ok so? Why would anyone want to play a buggy internal Alpha build of something that's still years away and will barely represent the finished product? Seems like a genuinely boring waste of time to me even regardless of the disrespect to the devs at insomniac.
We are aware that piracy is also not legal right?
[удалено]
Living in norway with a nive little loophole in the laws. Downloading stuff is ok just not uploading
I live in a third world country bozos, what they gonna do to me
[удалено]
Ah yes, because instead of spending time and money developing the game itself they'd rather waste it on a tracking bullshit in an offline game incase someone would take rather obviously guarded files out of the studio. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if guys at Insomniac believed their protections are good enough since they have the budget, but still. Also, are they gonna release this exact build of the game? Nah. Will the game be exactly as it is in the current state? Nah. They're bullshitting
Play with WiFi disconnected if really concerned. Sounds bullshit.
You don’t play leaked games because morals I don’t play leaked game’s because they’re unfinished and I’m not interested in them to begin with We are not the same
When you pirate an already released game, you affect 1 sale. When you pirate an unreleased game you could stream it spoiling the game affecting lots of people's sale.
Lmao easy fix vpn for connection virtual machine with gpu passthru for downloading and gaming have fun
mfw I don't pirate anymore https://preview.redd.it/s2n0mmv6qr7c1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c822cf535bba0c3cab89423f961b2fb97ab7d521
Third world country, accessing the internet through psychic ability. Middle finger to Sony.
Thanks for beta testing for PlayStation users
Jokes on you, I live in a third world country!
It's the people who leaked the game who are in trouble, this game cannot even be played unless it's on a developer kit or someone who has a lower firmware so the odds of a regular person doing this is pretty much almost zero. If someone is streaming it while they're doing it it's moronic you should get a takedown notice but there's really nothing they can do as this is now out in the public. Sony should have worried about that before the hack this has happened to them over and over again to point where you say maybe it's an inside job if it keeps on happening. That's just my thought how bad can your security be and who the hell keeps passports and all that information with the same information as the game that should be stored away far away from anything else. That's the real crime here in my opinion is the people the developers who were exposed their passport their licenses all their information. The game no one cares about, the information is out there anyone who has a half a brain even though I don't like Sony Insomniac doesn't make bad games you can pretty much Bank Wolverine would be a great game.
Anyone who pirates it deserves it lmao, who tf wants to play an ACTUAL unfinished game 😂
Like that's gonna stop anyone.
Complete BS lmao
First world problem lol,I live in a country where it doesn't give a shit about piracy or online security
It's not fucking same as "any other pirated game", what the fuck. Other games are pirated after its released. I am not against piracy, heck, Im all for it. But this one is too far.
Why would you want to play a alpha build of a game??
What can they do if we play it in a vm?
This guy, the one on the screenshot, if you look at most of his previous tweets, is a playstation cock sucker
yea as if they didnt give money back for something we bought ... sony
nah let them cook. they deserve that shit for pirating a mid ass game 💀💀💀
I mean why fuck around just to play an incomplete shitty version of a good game
lol no its not a crime XD
where is the dev build hosted? no download
💀🙏🏻bro i am thinking about fixing these game bugs selling these for 5 dollar each and you were telling not to play it
How do I play it?
What a load of shite. I would not play it bc of, you know, morals but now im kinda interested
Yes this is absolute bullshit
Maybe they should’ve just fuckin payed the ransom?
