2K sent hired goons to a YouTuber over Borderlands 3 info leaks
>Borderlands 3 publishers 2K Games have admitted they sent private investigators to a YouTuber’s home for a friendly chat. 2K say it’s part of a ten-month investigation into YouTuber “SupMatto” for leaking “confidential information” and “infringing [their] copyright” by sharing unannounced details about Gearbox’s FPS-RPG.
Hey Randy, can you wire $1000 to my Epic Store account?
James Hill
>implying these threads aren't also shills Every bit of this manufactured drama is so that Shitgame 3 is constantly on the front page.
Ayden Lopez
like clockwork
Colton Bell
>any other game company huh we should find the leak and stop it somehow >randybobandy kill the fucking excited fans. raid their homes and just fucking break their skulls while they plead. fuck them for daring to desire details on our product
Colton Reed
Don't care. Borderlands 3 will be badass and game of the year.
Ian Mitchell
Randy, go back to work, your son needs money for his autist treatment
Gabriel Lee
Randy, you’re rich. Donating $1000 isn’t going to hurt you.
Sebastian Reed
>shilling a multi-million dollar company instead ebin
Lincoln Robinson
Imagine if anyone was held accountable for anything anymore. That'd be nice.
Cameron Thomas
The worst part is the retards at 2K are at fault because the "leak" was just up on a website they use for literally anyone to see
company A has hired goons and customer B does not. does it matter who is "at fault" in this situation?
Ryder Stewart
>PI shows up to my house >I shit in my pants and throw in their face >Laugh as they sob at my feet >Pistol whip them in the face then handcuff them >Shoot their dicks off >"Think this is over scumfuck? I'm just getting started" >Drag them down to my local precinct >The boys all give me a warm applause as I roll in on my prized kentucky saddler, trespassers in tow >One of the boys' wives wants me to sign her tits, who am I to refuse? >Dolly Parton sucks us off while we share some ice cold MGDs >Jizz and cum all at the same time on her tits Fuck I love America
Connor Jenkins
So if you leave your wallet on top of a table and gets stolen in front of you, is it your fault?
Christian Perez
Man, they've been doing that shit for a decade now. You ain't a nerd, you're a phoney!
Henry Edwards
If you know youre in a room full of people ready to steal your wallet at the best moment, yes you retard.
Kayden Hernandez
>tfw seeing this made me pre-order this morning I hate shitty e-celeb threads.
yes, nigger why are you leaving your fuckinh wallet around on tables. I swear to god you suburb kids are dense as shit
Ian Carter
Shit analogy, nothing was stolen.
Nolan Martin
Also why did you have porn and company secrets in the wallet? On the same flash drive?
Mason Torres
This is less the wallet being stolen and more posting its contents online
Oliver Martin
If you leave a bunch of junk on top of a table and someone points out that bunch of junk to other people, yes that is your fault.
Ryder Walker
Wasn't it just once before? And that was on modders of their online game, rather than someone sharing public knowledge. I'd say this scenario is marginally worse.
Ian Sanders
Fake controversy Fake shit All contrived Fuck off nobody gives a fuck about memelands 3
Daniel Allen
>Hi we're here on behalf of 2k games and... >Close door HE WAS SO HARRASED >Say if they turn up again you'll call the police >Call them anyway >Watch them flail for excuses or scramble away They're failed officers/retards who couldn't make the cut into the force.
Elijah Lewis
Are you a retard? That's not the same thing. These dumb fucks uploaded info to a place where LITERALLY anyone could see it. The guy just pointed it out and shared what he saw. 2K are the fuckups here and sending random people to a guy's house is absurdly fucked up. Go fuck yourself.
Robert Thompson
More like >2k and youtuber decided to put up another publicity stunt Over fucking BL3 of all things. >mfw
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers? welcome to 16 years ago no one cares of your retarded streamers anyway
Christopher Hughes
>stolen Shit was published on an open website. It's less that the "wallet" was stolen and more that it was accidentally gifted to literally anyone who wanted it.
Lincoln Barnes
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers?
Early to mid 2000s, you retard
Grayson Morales
>live in castle doctrine state >see em coming up my long as driveway >tell em to leave >the dont >can shoot em in my front yard for threatening me >sue Randy for sending armed thugs after me and my family
This. They don't have any legal right at all, did this retard let them in the front door?
Its the youtuber's fault then. Sorry matey.
Anthony Young
op is a sensationalist faggot
Liam Taylor
Man I tell you if these psychos came to my doorstep I'd fucking blast a hole through the door with my Jakobs at the first knock like John Wick and I would be fully justified and acquitted of all charges because I live in a castle doctrine stand-your-ground state. The sheriff would show up and as I explained to them what happened they would promptly return my firearm, share a hearty laugh as we stand over their perforated and disintegrated corpses, and leave. God I love this planet
Nathan Flores
Why are you people so obsessed with shooting everyone no wander the USA has so many mass shootings.
When will you fucking brainlets get it that you can't own or steal information. If you know the numbers for the next lottery and then decide to recite them out loud in a public place you only have yourself to blame for others using them.
Nolan Garcia
learn how to read nigger.
Camden Adams
>Company sends some random who to my place >Open door, he tells me he wants to talk about company >Fuck off or get shot >Problem over
Jackson Young
>Do you have a warrant >No >Close door WOW HIRED GOONS INTIMIDATION AND HARRASSMENT GOING ON HERE Fuck, most private investigators don't even carry guns nowadays.
Brayden Watson
Copyrights are retarded, but i assure you. They are real
Zachary Rogers
fuck off op nobody fucking cares about this non event
Tyler Bennett
>leak info you shouldn't have >face consequence of action
UH WTF I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS
Isaac Ward
Jacked booted thugs show up to your house and demand to have a "friendly little chat". They were paid by a multi-million corporation that has enough money to get away with anything. Thugs have guns and don't have to follow the same rules and regulations of actual law enforcement officials. yeah, I'd say self defense is warranted in that situation. I'd just like, shoot at their feet though.
Joshua Martin
respect
Justin Bennett
>Americans when will they learn, if it isnt yours, you don't take it. Jamal give it back
Michael Anderson
Fuck off, Randy.
Alexander Gray
Not OP, and go back to your toilet hole Randy.
Cameron Ortiz
Fuck off OP.
Jaxon Brooks
Maybe but that's not what really happened, is it?
David Butler
watch out dude, he is going to send you some hired goons
Tyler Wilson
try to cope by sucking OPs dick then, faggot
Justin Morales
We defend youtuber now?
Wyatt Torres
>Yea Forums.... doesn't like leakers now? actually confused
Julian Smith
>LOOK GUYS THIS IS BAD WHEN WERE YOU WHEN THIS TRAGIC EVENT HAPPENED HIRED GOONS >"Nobody cares faggot" >S-shut up Randy
Fuck off with your shitty thread OP. Not only have we gone over this shit plenty of times but you're also in the wrong. Youtuber let them in the house and is acting like a drama queen over it.
>Can we come in? >No >Close door Americans are so retarded >Sure, come in
Jonathan Ramirez
Does it matter? >Have a "No trespassers" sign clearly visible in front of house >they come over and bang on my door >tell them to leave >they say no At that point I have full legal precedent to take any action necessary to make them leave, up to and including lethal force.
Joshua Lopez
He let them into his house, but 2K fucking paid them to go into his house, that's the fucked up shit. It's like Hearst sending in the Pinkerton's
Daniel Parker
>COMPANY PAYS PEOPLE TO DO STUFF >WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THIS TRAVESTY TOOK PLACE!?!?!?!?!? faggot
Nolan Barnes
OP forgot to mention that the streamer is a criminal stealing industry secrets for clicks and 2k somehow restrained themselves enough to not drag him to court
The Pinkertons were actually pretty fucking important at stopping unions
Gabriel Perry
>info you shouldn't have No, it's info they didn't want you to have, but erroneously made it public. Public information is free to report on. They leaked that shit themselves, and they're trying to aggressively blame someone else for their own incompetence.
Dominic Cooper
>He let them in Then he's a fucking retard. If you feel in any way intimidated or threatened you close the door. 2k were in the right, they knew this faggot would roll over to a face to face chat without getting into a massive legal battle with him.
Jeremiah Cox
>warning shots That's illegal, friend.
Brody Nelson
>up to and including lethal force. GL with that m8e9
Where is half this thread getting "HIRED THUGS AND GOONS" from? It says private investigators and the only one I've ever known could barely be issued a stun gun.
Grayson Young
Not as a warming, just like, shoot their feet so they cant run and I can drag them into my basement. Also, really? Even in stand your ground states?
Unless they plan on breaking my door down, I have plenty of time to go grab my gun. if they refuse to leave my property when it's blatantly made clear they are not welcome, I have every right to open fire to make them fuck off.
Daniel Adams
You're not wrong, he is a massive fucking retard, but still, corporations sending private security forces to a literately who's door is also fucked.
Gabriel Jackson
You also forgot to add that they had twitch shut down his stream/account and youtube take down several of his videos right away around the time the thugs came to visit.
Mason Gonzalez
I guess you're right, I just assumed he let them in the house. Sorry for the fake news.
Bentley Ross
It's not that complicated, tell someone to move and they don't move then they got shot at. What is so hard to understand about that?
Cooper Parker
He let them in and answered their question and after they left he started yelling abut goons, trespassing and information all over the internet. This little shit just wanted the attention and now he's over his head.
Kevin Carter
>open fire >they can now shoot and kill you in self defense Yeah real fucking smart buddy
Nicholas Cruz
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers? Lamenting Chris Benoit's death and talking shit on my new iPhone
Ian Ramirez
Bullets can ricochet and potentially hurt innocent bystanders, and actively aiming for non vital spots below the waist to disable targets can end up with the person being permanently crippled, for which they can sue you for.
This is why you must only ever shoot to kill. If they were not enough of a threat for you to need to end their life, then you shouldn't have used a gun in the first place. Always shoot the kill and only shoot to kill. Any other answer can land you with big legal problems. If they ask you "were you afraid for your life" You say "yes sir, I thought they were going to kill me"
Isaac Rivera
Again, you're using weasel words you jumped up brainlet. >Private security force No, these are private investigators. Even says so in the article. You don't need any formal training or qualifications to be one and can be hired by just about anybody. They have no legal right to enter your property and you have no legal right to talk to them.
>High school buddy has turned PI but can't carry a gun
Xavier Cox
Plus, his discord server got deleted. Not to mention, they publicly smeared the guy through an ign shill. Take-two is going scorched earth on the guy.
Luke Howard
>killing someone in self defense >while you're trespassing on their property Yeah good luck finding any court room that isn't going to be laughing at you for that one.
Daniel Diaz
Good, fucker deserves it. >Getting intimidated by high school dropouts and then raging online about it
Jordan Cooper
what the fuck
Nathaniel Morales
>You don't need any formal training or qualifications to be one and can be hired by just about anybody. How do you not see this as an issue? Randy just going down to Goons-R-Us and picking some brainlet buff Chads to go and scare this turbo pussy.
Jaxon Thompson
He was earning money by posting leaked information on his discord. That's a big fuck up on his part.
Logan Morgan
yeah, it's legitimately insane how hard TakeTwo is going after this guy, despite the fact that literally he did was point out TakeTwo's own fuck up.
Jackson Wilson
If I post nudes of myself on a website for anyone to access I don't get to act outraged when my nudes leak. Yes it would be my fault for being retarded and posting them online.
Levi Hall
I'd much rather be in legal trouble than kill a man DESU. Even if it's in self defense, I'm too much of a pussy to take a life.
Hudson Watson
Funny story guys >Cousin is arrested for a string of murders all over the state >Newspapers send PI to our house about it from one of the victims families claiming we're all in on it >We tell him to fuck off >We call the police as he rifles though our mail >They pin him to the ground and charge him for it
These bumbling idiots don't know the law. As far as I know they can't do shit without your express consent.
Ian Peterson
If this happened, then is the nintendo mafia real?
Michael Carter
>Cousin is arrested for a string of murders all over the state The fuck
It wasn't public information those Twitch accounts were privet.
Brody Morris
its the turbo pussy's fault then for not just closing the door and calling the cops then.
Thomas Howard
Yes, except they enter through your piping and throw firevalls at you if you don't give them a good score.
Luis Morales
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE YOU FUCKING RETARD. The issue is they hired the goons in the first god damn place.
Anthony Rogers
Those twitch accounts were publicly revealed by Gearbox. Mistakenly most likely, but it wasn't like someone hacked Gearbox/TakeTwo to find those twitch accounts. They were publicly named so people were watching out for anything happening on them.
>these big men are scaring mee >better let them into my home
Christopher Flores
Then use a tazer or pepper spray to defend yourself. If you misuse a firearm then you can potentially end up in jail for life.
Bentley Edwards
COPYright, it covers the rights to copy, distribute and profit off off your work. Any and all references to storing information in law have a hidden "in a permanent or semi-permanent" that should be there, but lawmakers are not scientists. There's a fuckton of ways you store copyrighted information all over the place that you cannot control.
Benjamin Murphy
You really don't though. At least not if you live in burgerland.
Jackson Moore
>Cousin is arrested for a string of murders all over the state You literally can't just drop this bomb and leave it at that
>The issue is they hired the goons in the first god damn place.
THAT ISN'T ACTUALLY A BAD THING YOU MORON
Jack Cox
>getting loads of cash stolen >getting caught with pictures of minors >game reveal being a complete mess of fuck ups >epic game store fiasco >2k sending goons to some e-celeb house can randy catch a break?
From what I understood that was a Twitch bug something about thumbnails or something, he was exploring a bug to obtain confidential information and that's a big no no.
Jaxson White
I hate e-celebs as much as the next guy but are people really defending 2k here?
Caleb Hernandez
have you considered NOT DOING THE SHIT THAT HAS BAD CONSEQUENCES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FACE CONSEQUENCES?
>do the thing you shouldn't do >be reminded you shouldn't do it
UH WTF I HATE THIS WORLD.
Talk shit, get hit.
Jack Jones
My man, google for 10 fucking seconds and save yourself 20 years in the clink.
Andrew Barnes
How is it a false equivalence? The point is you should receive an appropriate punishment for the crime. You don't mercilessly beat someone up because they leaked your shitty video game, Randy.
Jayden Gutierrez
>company exercises its legal rights >and that's a bad thing!
Chase Sanchez
that's pretty based if you ask me
Michael King
Newfags don't understand what trolling actually is, so they think by being legitimate unironic shills for big corporations and saying the most painfully stupid thing possible at all times they are being comedic geniuses
Jason Bennett
>trespass on my land >i warn them >then shoot them problem solved
Kevin Adams
>You don't mercilessly beat someone up because they leaked your shitty video game, Randy. DON'T GIVE HIM IDEAS
Bentley Jenkins
You're acting like their only option was to send in the goon squad. It's not like 2K has any other recourse. It's not like they could just sue him or anything, no, you HAVE to jump to the Pinkertons
Josiah Nguyen
SHUT THE FUCK UP! RANDY ISN'T IN THIS THREAD! EVEN IF I WAS IN THIS THREAD THEN WHO THE FUCK CARES!? DON'T EVER LEAK GEARBOX'S SHIT AGAIN YOU LITTLE GAMER NERD ASSHOLE FAGGOTS!
I see you out there, you fucking shills. Posting in full force trying to distract idiots from the immoral and illegal shit Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, and 2k are up to.
>Randy embezzled funds from Alien: Colonial Marine to spend on BL2 then farmed out development Alien to a shitty third party and tried to hang them out to dry >Randy saved barely legal porn on the same thumb drive as work documents for some reason, and then took it with him to a fucking medieval times and lost it >Then admitted to looking at the porn and tried to claim he just wanted to know how she was shooting shit out of her vagina >Conned Claptraps VA into working for free, physically abused him, then cut him out and publicly insulted him when he asked to be paid this time >Inner circle is a revolving gang of scumbags who either get arrested, Rob Randy, or get robbed by him >Buy and squander Duke Nukem Forever >Buy Duke Nukem 3d, release a shitty inferior remaster, then remove all copies of the original from outlets >A fan, running a fan channel, sees images leaked by twitch and does videos on them. 2k hires PIs to go to the guy's house and intimidate him while also getting his social media to cut him lose. Technically he qualifies as a journalist and this kind of intimidation should be illegal.
Never forgive. Never forget. I can. Already hear you snickering churls, "hurf durf don't care gonna buy it anyway". How's that boot taste you microdick peabrain, you pathetic dog addicted to your Skinner boxes. It's ok to hate EA but oh let's not shittalk Randy bo bandy.
I won't let you shill this garbage unchallenged. This game needs to fail and Gearbox needs to die.
Easton Rivera
You can legally send hired goons to someone's house to threaten them? Weird.
Ethan Roberts
>wanting Dolly to suck you off and not give you a down home titty job while singing 9 to 5 while you cum on her face
Kevin Moore
Deontological apprehension of the circumstances surrounding the event are necessary to form any ethical or moral boundary parameters by which your response may be judged; contingent thereupon is your answer.
Also, yes. If you are an attractive white women walking down the street and don't cross it when a group of young black men begin jiggabooing towards you, is it your fault or theirs that they beat and rape you?
Lucas Hall
If someone you don't know sent people (not police) to your house to talk about how they're watching you and how you fucked up, would you take that as a sign of friendship or something?
Liam Morris
This. Anyone sends someone like that to my house and I would kill him if he doesn't immediately leave. Then I'd call the police and get a restraining order for good measure.
Levi Butler
>seek out of court settlement, de-escalating situation instead of the pr suicide that is trying to sue someone
Brayden Gray
how do you end up being a video game company hired goon anyway?
Ryder Barnes
It's my legal right to blow your head off if you step on my lawn.
Matthew Morales
what makes leaker a customer?
Ian Campbell
And what the fuck do you think "having a friendly chat" means, you idiot?
Sebastian Ward
Yes. That's why people keep their wallet in their pocket. Hello?
>barely legal porn So legal porn? There's so many awful things about Randy. No need to be a sensationalist assclown about it.
Joseph Cruz
If I had knowingly done something unethical and borderline illegal then I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were consequences, but funnily enough because I'm not an amoral shithead I don't do things like that
Justin Sanchez
oh yeah, this is wayyyyyyy better PR that suing someone over something you could actually sue someone over. 2K would probably win.
Nolan Gonzalez
Lmao
Brayden Ortiz
They were private investigators not goons you bloody moron, why don't you do yourself and us a favour and neck yourself.
1. That's still an intimidation tactic 2. Your official job description would not literally be "goon"
Bentley Torres
Why is it so hard for BL3 to just come out? People have been waiting for this game for over half a decade. It should literally be selling itself right now, but between being Epic exclusive, this shit about having private investigators trespassing on some guy, and Randy being a shit, it's like they're actively trying to sabotage this game.
In fairness, the only way to succeed in life is to come to the unfortunate factual realization that if you don't take advantage of other people, they will take advantage of you.
Here are your options in life, my man.
1. Look out for yourself, help those who earn your help through a rigorous questioning and qualification process that you yourself devise.
2. Suffer at the hands of immorality and ignorance by literal retards who would stab you for your shoes if society weren't imposing harsh consequences.
I wouldn’t advise a taser, maybe pepper spray though Really though my family used to insist on melee weapons behind the door or stashed in some spots in case of a house emergency, like bats or machetes No idea how effective they’d be in an actual emergency with an intruder but it’s at least somewhat cost effective
Xavier Sanchez
Private investigators still have no legal right to come onto your property and interrogate you. The youtuber was an idiot for letting them into his house and not just calling the police.
Jaxson Bailey
You're still going to play it despite it being epic exclusive
Luke Mitchell
I think it looks fun, but I agree, this shit is just background noise. Wake me when real stuff happens.
Noah Lewis
break the nda, randy will break your legs
Chase Gomez
And why the hell do you think a person should not pass on information that disrupts a company's marketing strategy? Is it immoral to undermine a marketing strategy with real info?
Austin Carter
Actually, the way to succeed in life is to drag these corporate heads into the street, gut them in front of their family, burn their children alive, and make sure that no governmental or business force can disturb the life of peaceful and innocent folk who just want to live a free life.
But, you know, we don't live in those kinda times anymore I guess.
If these corporate terrorists came even close to my home over a fucking YouTube video they would get an eyeful of lead through my peephole. America is the wrong country to try and strongarm citizens on behalf on corporations.
>If I had knowingly done something unethical and borderline illegal >talking about public information Son, they have just as much right to go after that guy as EA has to go after you for talking about SSX Tricky. Shit was public. You can't put your movie in theaters and go "Fuck it was an accident!!" and sue anyone who's talking about it. Fuckin mental gymnastics you got going on to make you think T2 is the good guy here?
Nothing illegal or unethical was done. You and others need to be careful you don't step up to somebody who will actually fight back.
Andrew Rivera
You're broke
Levi Hill
If they were really goons that little shit wouldn't be yelling intimidation all over the internet, he wold either be too afraid to say anything or in hospital.
Josiah Hill
Yeah, the Russians and Chinese tried that. They killed everyone with any semblance of competence and intellectual capability afforded to them by virtue of their education and genetics.
If you attribute malice and evil to success you have already doomed your society.
Nicholas Ross
You aren't one who would fight back and I'm willing to put that to the test chump
Josiah Sanders
He was stupid enough to let them in, he's stupid enough to not heed warnings.
Gavin Robinson
>that little shit
Randy, you're just making it too obvious now.
Dominic Clark
>he wold either be too afraid to say anything If you actually read his statements he is, he's "taking a break from the internet" and says "people are misconstruing"
Justin Kelly
Maybe now people will admit we're living in a Cyberpunk future, just without the aesthetics or flying cars
>The youtuber was an idiot for letting them into his house and not just calling the police. Exactly.
Nicholas Brown
You mean like 2k leaking shit like the retards they are and now they have to face the consequence of their mistake?
Well except they don't want to face the consequence and prefer to blame that guy, and faggot hsills like you support it?
Thomas Rogers
This is information, not money. If you left secret government documents on a table and they get read, it is your fault.
Aiden Thomas
I'm not attributing malice and evil to success, but you're lying if you think that success doesn't breed malice and evil often.
Oliver Hernandez
>The youtuber was an idiot for letting them into his house and not just calling the police. He was, but I can't really blame him. It must be hard to keep a clear head when suits show up at your door to intimidate you on behalf of a multi million dollar corporation.
Blake Turner
Would the Youtuber be in his legal right to point a gun at the goons and shoot them? They are intruders after all, right?
Justin Rogers
So you admit they were hired thugs. That's all I needed to hear.
Owen Hughes
The line between good and evil runs down the middle of every human heart. What makes you think you wouldn't cause the suffering of others, or succumb to your base nature, or your faults, and vices, given the opportunity? Most probably, you've never had any real power over another human being. Why do you think we, collectively, as a civilization, as a species, destroy our children so completely and with such ignorant intent?
Okay no but seriously, what's with the Yea Forums bootlicking? Seriously, you faggots have been bending over backwards for the government and large corporations. I've heard you faggots unironically support Trump's attempt to ban video games.
It's almost like these powerful forces realize how easy it is to manipulate the narrative and deploy as many shills as possible to make their heinous shit look good. Weird.
Not even Trannystein Leftistblood had this fervent a defense force. The fucking mental gymnastics you freaks go to justify this, one would think you're in the board of directors or something. It's not even funny anymore, the dissonance is astounding.
>The line between good and evil runs down the middle of every human heart.
Yes, and being in charge of a massive corporation lets you evade the maw of justice. The fact that entire pedophile rings are being uncovered in places like Hollywood is a pretty clear sign that these people need to be killed.
Luke Gonzalez
>Shit, we accidentally leaked information regarding one of the most highly anticipated games of the year >Did we fuck up? >No, it was this random YOUTUBER who reported on our fuck up who was at fault >Clearly the best course of action is to send thugs to his house to harass him and then go after his entire fucking livelihood in retaliation for him pointing out our own fuckup It's actually complete fucking insanity if you think about what's going on here.
Jayden Martin
Nah, no one is so cuck and cowardly. And even if he was so miserable, a guy like that wouldn't even have the courage to open the door. Do you think the guys arrived kicking his door? The guy probably let the detectives in because he knew it would create controversy and make news.
Henry Williams
Not that user but that's just the damn point you're ignoring. It is entirely unreasonable for anyone but another company to fight back. T2 could drain your ass in court for everything your worth without even having a case, thanks to the US legal system. That's why them taking them gloves off is so shitty. They get to tell you what you can and can't say even when it isn't on their platform.
Noah Sanchez
Holy shit Randy, do you have anything better to do?
Oliver Evans
More likely, I think people have simply been flocking to Yea Forums and the demographic has shifted. I can remember being authentically stupid and espousing propaganda and rationalizations that would mark me as a shill when I was very young.
I think people are just dumber now.
Adam Evans
>Okay no but seriously, what's with the Yea Forums bootlicking? Seriously, you faggots have been bending over backwards for the government and large corporations. I've heard you faggots unironically support Trump's attempt to ban video games. it feels like we are being invaded by resetera
Joking asides, Yea Forums has been invaded thanks to /pol/ by trump supporters since the elections. a shame.
Christopher Evans
The only reason I'm here is because I keep getting videos recommend on youtube by some faggot that keeps complaining about everything i can't get rid of him.
John Johnson
No it doesn't, you're under scrutiny of the type it would be difficult for you to comprehend. The law is corrupt to the extent that it can be broken or bent without consequence.
It doesn't matter where you put someone, they have a choice; take advantage, or be taken advantage of. The prisoners dilemma played out across millions of people and thousands of years.
Isaiah Harris
Well duh, it's pretty clear the republican party used Yea Forums as a springboard since they realized their PR is dying.
Brayden Ortiz
>stop using the non masculine thinking emoji What exactly is he trying to say
Ethan Long
You'd think the coordinated simultaneous shutdown attacks on his Twitch, Youtube, and Discord accounts by TakeTwo would have been enough controversy to report on, that didn't involve letting hired goons into your house.
Hudson Nelson
So you're telling me that some random homeless dude can bend the law to his whims the exact same way a rich billionaire can? Are you fucking insane?
Nolan Lewis
Get a load of this city boy.
Camden Rogers
I love how Yea Forums doesnt want to talk about politics on Yea Forums, but then you realize politics are invaiding videogames.
Ayden Morgan
>Giving a shit about entitled *consumers*(lol
Lincoln King
It's the pendulum of contrarianism swinging back and forth.
Aaron Perez
You forgot he said Castle Doctrine. That means he can defend his property in any way he wishes. He could have a god damn .50 cal machine gun attached to his roof to shoot people who trespass if he wants. Castle Doctrine is awesome
Landon Russell
Some of these paid goons are in this thread.
Jace Garcia
Hey Randy, I know you're in here. You're a little piss baby faggot. Sending goons to someone's house, Christ what a faggot. You can't even fight your own battles, Randy. Fucking bitch-made coward.
borderlands was tryhard memery, but it was decent 2 I couldnt finish because it was bland 3 I bet will suck ass just like every other game released these days gaming is over people, you killed it
Alexander Cox
I think they get sick of reddit's indiscriminate anti-company stance so when we get them they're hot out of the contrarian oven looking for some corporate dick to suck.
Luke Martinez
>>Randy saved barely legal porn on the same thumb drive as work documents for some reason, and then took it with him to a fucking medieval times and lost it >>Then admitted to looking at the porn and tried to claim he just wanted to know how she was shooting shit out of her vagina Pretty based, I think I like Randy now
Jaxon Ramirez
fuck youtubers and ecelebs
Alexander Gomez
Have you heard, everything is political nowadays.
Oliver Thomas
Good, fuck corporations. Corporations aren't your fucking friend, you goddamn shill.
Xavier Cooper
We always warned you about the Nintendo ninjas, I didn't know 2K had them too though
Leo Garcia
Honestly, only a fucking leftist would take that shit from two homosexuals in suits trying to act tough. The fact that they're all unarmed makes it even more pathetic
Dominic Smith
Yes, coordinated platform attacks are common things. Sending detectives to your home is unusual, outrageous, destroys the company's reputation and catches the attention of the media. You may find that an anguished and frail person lets two guys in suits come into his house to talk for 40 minutes. To me this is the attitude of a smart guy who ended up taking revenge on the company that was trying to take him down.
Cameron Cook
Buying another BL game after the autism that was the pee sequel is retarded.
Gavin Rogers
You have misinterpreted my post, faggot.

Imagine your game being so shit that you actually have to intimidate people that criticize it into shutting up.
Gavin Watson
You're going to have a REALLY fucking hard time arguing self-defense while you were illegally trespassing on their property.
Jeremiah Evans
USA the land of conspiracy theorists are murderous psychopaths. GOD BLESS AMERICA
He was also charging people for the leaks with his discord
John Collins
You said that being anti-corporate is Reddit.
Camden Russell
I'm saying if you took a random person and gave them power, there is a higher chance they would succumb to vice than usher in socioeconomic paradise.
Ethan Butler
He didn't even do that, the guy was a fan, all he did was report on some fucking thumbnails
Luis Garcia
I love how everyone is interested in Randy but not a single person is asking any questions about his special adult theater frequented by celebrities and rich people.
So is brandishing. In both cases it's the most retarded shit. So I have to wait for the nogs to surround me and start beating me with a tire iron and wresting away the gun before I can do anything? Bullshit.
Ethan Smith
That's a federal felony. That guy is gonna get the long dick of the law.
Jayden Myers
Buddy, don't poison the well. We literally live in an age where massive corporations talk with each other. There's no such thing as business rivalry anymore. Companies are literally conspiring with each other to suppress the common folk. "Conspiracy theorist" shouldn't be a term anymore. This is the reality we live in. And that random person should be gutted in the street for succumbing to their vices. Are you just deliberately being stupid? Are you just trying to be obtuse so you can obstruct justice?
Ethan Kelly
Fuck Randy and fuck BL3. This is who you’re giving your money to, anons!
Depending on your state laws you can unholster your weapon, but not point it at anybody, legally if you have reason to suspect an imminent attack. So say if some dude is getting feisty and saying things like "I'm going to fucking kill you" then you can legally pull out your gun in preparation for a confrontation.
Zachary Rivera
Get police on the shit. Any criminal implications?
Jaxson Baker
Better comparison would be if you flashed your titties in public, and someone took a picture, was it a creepshot? The thumbnails were not on a secure website, just sitting there on an unindexed twitch page.
Joseph Butler
Aren't they saying he was charging money to view said leaks?

>letting corporate employees wanting to "talk" to you into your home at all
How hard is it to tell them to fuck off and if they stay on, you'll call the police? PIs aren't cops. Even if they were cops, you don't fucking say anything if they arrest you. You just stay quiet, state that you won't be saying until you have a lawyer.
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers? At my house playing EDF5, which is all the looter shooter I am going to need for a very long time. Also, no EGS (bonus).

Let he who is without sin get gutted in the street like a dog, first, faggot.
People like you are precisely why the world is so fucked up. You think you're morally virtuous by virtue of your inability to introspect on the nature of your own potential inability to introspect.
You're just an ideological puppet to whatever rationalizations you dream up to protect your ego from the truth; the truth being you're a powerless, gutless, egotistical, narcissistic parasite, and you aren't morally superior as a consequence of your inability to be evil, you're just powerless.
Hey Randy why don't you do a magic trick people actually want to see and disappear.
Ayden Ward
>That means he can defend his property in any way he wishes. Castle Doctrine isn't some "you can murder whoever you want on your land" redneck fantasy free pass. Their intent to be unlawful is still considered by the court.
Like I said, redneck fantasy. Context matters, just because you're on your land doesn't mean you are impervious to homicide charges. Fucking imagine the damn implications of that if that were actually the case, honestly.
David Cox
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was involved in a secret nepotist society that trades innocent kid's souls like fucking Pokemon cards.
Get your "cast the first stone" shit out of my face, retard. I'm not without sin. But you know what the difference between me and a rich billionaire is? The difference is that I actually faced repercussions for the bad things I've done. When I was driving under the influence I got a DUI and I faced jailtime. When I got in a fist fight at a bus station, I got sent to jail. Meanwhile rich billionaires can LITERALLY RAPE KIDS AND SEND DEATH SQUADS TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE and face no repercussions whatsoever. I don't think I'm morally virtuous, and I'd hope that someone would hold the same contempt towards me if I was a rich billionaire pulling the strings.
The betterment of society begins with you taking responsibility for the fact of evil by contending with your personal relationship to the weaknesses of your own soul.
What you're doing is rationalizing away your own role in the destruction of society by pointing the finger at someone you believe to have more power than you, and be worse than you.
When, in reality, if you were given free reign over billions of dollars and thousands of lives you would, most certainly, be wholly unprepared to face the demons of your nature. Your violent fantasies and God complexes are apparent for everyone here to see, and for yourself to see, if you choose.
Faggot.

Dominic Price

David Reed
And what position are you in to stop anyone from succumbing to evil? What lessons have you learned? What evils have you confronted, comprehended, and integrated into your life as a weapon against weakness and inaction?
That is why you are weak; because you are bitter and resentful. You're no better, or worse, than the vacant eyed peasants you will spend your life spitting venom at, as they spit it back at you.
Evil is your responsibility, do your part to contend with it. Or play video games to numb yourself to the reality of your own inadequacy, whatever works.
Cameron Wilson
wow, he's a real cunt, no wonder i hated all 2k games after the first borderlands, i can't believe i gave that cunt money for Duke Nukem Forever too.
Oh well, i have 0 desire to buy the next borderlands game anyway, plenty of fun shooters out there.

Nathan White

Elijah Sanders
>And what position are you in to stop anyone from succumbing to evil?
I'm sorry, you must have suffered from severe brain damage at some point in our conversation. It is not my job to stop other people from succumbing to evil. I don't have the power to influence people like that. I do, however, have the power to rip apart the bones and teeth of those who have.
If I'm weak because I'm bitter and resentful, then so is 99% of humans who have basic fucking empathy. When you hear the words "pedophile ring" and the first thing that comes to your mind isn't "I want to bash their skulls in with a fucking brick" then you're a sociopath. Plain and simple. You do not care about the suffering of innocent children, and the world would be better off without you. Stop dragging your feet just because you can, you armchair intellectual.
Samuel Taylor
>I don't have the power to stop other people from succumbing to evil.
I know that, I've been demonstrating that this entire exchange by pointing at that fact and repeatedly asserting it.
If you were given any modicum of power you would condemn and murder anyone you didn't understand for anything you couldn't comprehend or sympathize with.
You're an average, dull, lifeless husk who should walk out into the street and apologize to the nearest tree for stealing oxygen from it.
And my nigga, you won't ever, EVER, kill a pedophile ring runner.
You won't ever get be opportunity to help anyone. You will wave your fists in impotent rage at the internet and that will be the end of your contribution to the betterment of society.
Julian James
Seriously the gayest cyberpunk dystopia ever
Bentley Jenkins
Good luck convincing people that he was illegally trespassing when you're dead, and he was in the front of your house in broad daylight carrying out a documented house call for his job, for which he carries out documented house calls daily.
Ethan Perry
He's a private investigator. he has no legal right to be on your property without your express permission. Which is going to be hard to prove when there's a big "NO TRESPASSING SIGN" blatantly visible outside his house, the neighbors tell the police that "Yes that guy was sneaking around the house," and you were explicitly there without the homeowner's knowledge and expressly hired to harass him.
Ethan Butler
>linking toiletpapershitgun You can smell Gabe's semen if you open that website.
>You're an average, dull, lifeless husk who should walk out into the street and apologize to the nearest tree for stealing oxygen from it. I'm pretty sure that taking oxygen from a tree is different from EXPLOITING YOU CHILDREN YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MONGOLOID! >And my nigga, you won't ever, EVER, kill a pedophile ring runner. I mean, probably not. I'd probably never get the chance to since they're extremely secluded.
But I'm being completely serious here, if I was ever locked in a room with one of those people, I would beat them black and blue. This isn't me trying to act like an internet tough guy, and this isn't me making an empty threat. If I met one of these people, I would break every bone in their body. >You will wave your fists in impotent rage at the internet and that will be the end of your contribution to the betterment of society. Well yeah, I'm not disagreeing there, you're completely right. There's nothing anyone can do at this point. The police are militarized, and they would completely blow the entire US population out of the fucking water. The time for revolution came and went, and now we lost. The US and the western world are done for.
But don't think for a fucking second that I wouldn't love to give these people their comeuppance. If a revolution was possible in the US then I would be more than happy to riot.
Nathaniel Reyes
He does have a legal right to be there actually. he is legally hired to carry out a legal order legally you dumb cunt. Stopping him from coming onto your property is basically the same as obstructing a police investigation. he has every right to open fire on your stupid ass at that point.
Camden Roberts
I don't think you know the definition of exclusivity deal
Jack Morgan

Ethan Gutierrez
You're literally fuck retarded. I really hope it's just cause you're underage.
Ethan Scott

Owen Campbell
What the fuck are you talking about. PIs aren't police. They have literally no legal authority in any manner. You absolutely do not have to speak to a PI about anything and they are literally breaking the law if they're on your property without permission, and refuse to leave if you tell them to fuck off.
>Which is going to be hard to prove when there's a big "NO TRESPASSING SIGN" blatantly visible outside his house No trespassing signs do not have indisputable power to revoke the public's right to knock. They are more of a deterrent than anything. There might be some cases where they held up but my whole point is that Castle Doctrine isn't a get out of jail free card. >the neighbors tell the police that "Yes that guy was sneaking around the house," Let's not pull shit out of our ass to make this gay scenario more gay than it already is. >and expressly hired to harass him. You think that's what's on the invoice?

Mason Evans
The sign is more to make sure they had ample warning that they weren't allowed on the property after the homeowner blows their brains out, covering your ass legally in a sense.
I don't know what shithole neighborhood you live in where neighbors don't watch out for each other and stick up for one another when someone's doing blatantly shady shit at a niehgbor's house.
>invoice It literally doesn't matter what the invoice says. The PI is not allowed on the property, if the homeowner tells him to fuck off, then he either turns around and walks away, or the police come and drag him away in a bodybag.
Like you were told here PIs are not police, they have no legal authority and no invoice is going to change that. If there's a legal issue, then TakeTwo should send the police or a lawyer, not hired thugs.
Chase Miller
The invoice does matter dumbass. If they were sent there legally to do a job, then you have to comply with them. if you just shoot him without listening you're either gonna get shot back and die or just go tp go to jail for the rest of your life for attacking an officer of the law.

B) I live in the type of shithole neighborhood where you'd get laughed at for having a No Trespassing sign on your front porch. >It literally doesn't matter what the invoice says You said he was there expressly to harass. I don't know where you think that would be backed up other than the invoice, considering his job is to investigate.

Andrew Morgan
It wasn't leaks retard. They streamed borderlands 3 on twitch and people found it because you could watch it via a bug.
It wasn't even like an employee leaking It was THEM STREAMING THE FUCKING game on twitch that led to leaks
Juan Taylor
It wasn't even a bug. It was an unlisted twitch account that Gearbox accidentally put up the existence of online. So of fucking course people were going to be keeping an eye on the account in case anything was happening on it.

If it's the Discord bullshit where the YTer was supposedly locking info behind paywalls, it's been confirmed false by everybody within that channel multiple times and no evidence has been shown which proves otherwise. Not a single screencap that documents such a claim exists.
Ayden Miller
>I'm a shitty person and there's no way anybody is better than me so my shitty behavior is justified Okay faggot
Camden Lopez
The only thing that looks shady on SupMatto’s part, was that he had a private discord that he was charging 5 dollars a month for people to access. He claims that he was just using it to discuss the game with fans, but other youtubers have stated they got, not yet released, screenshots for their videos from there. It’s a grey area.
Grayson Rodriguez
Stupid/scared
Isaac Watson
It's exactly what they're claiming, they claim they've been shown screenshots which they cannot share that are of the private Discord with lots of unreleased screenshots of the game.
Elijah Ward
And what are you doing? "You shouldn't get upset because you are powerless" is such a pointless blackpill.
Gabriel Cox
And yet no evidence has been shown of this. Not a single screencap, not a single YTer in that Discord has come forth and said "yeah he charged five bucks for early leaked screens." Yet despite all this, sites like IGN are reporting it as fact.

Levi Nguyen
>gaming is over people, you killed it How is it our fault you are retarded enough to buy copy pasted western shit from one of the worst names out there?
Gaming is still doing great just buy directly online and not whatever you see on gamestop and walmart.
Boderlands was never good and their only contribution was Opposition Force. Outside of that, Gearbox has always been about doing fuck ups.
They cancelled Interceptor's Duke Nukem for some moronic reason. Fortunately, Interceptor did the Rise of the Triad Remake instead which was great and underrated too.
So how about you go and play that instead?

user, you can talk all you want about how stupid or wrong they are but pretending they are somehow obscure just outs you as a newfag.
Michael Phillips
Apparently according to 2K, the problem wasn't the leaked details themselves but the fact that the dude charged $5 to get access to his Discord server where he published images that were not posted publicly youtu.be/t-6lMlEokos?t=250 I would love to see this game bomb and Pitchford go homeless but I feel like this is an actual case where 2K was being nice for not just straight suing him
Calling someone a newfag for not knowing a youtuber is like calling someone gay for smashing mad puss.
Jason Lopez
They're not goons and whiny gamers look for any excuse to throw a baby bitch fit. They're lawyers contracted by 2K Games. They're not thugs, they're not gang members or hired assassins like retards keep trying to make them out to be. The guy could have just asked them to leave and that he doesn't have any information to share. They're not police officers and can't force their way in or anything. If they pretended to be, they're going to jail.
Aiden Anderson
They sent LAWYERS to TALK TO HIM. STOP PRETENDING ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED. THE GUY LEAKED INFORMATION WHICH TECHNICALLY DOES/CAN COST A COMPANY A LOT OF MONEY.
Gabriel Rogers

Yeah, don't piss off corporations if you don't want their private militia raiding your property retards, how could you be so stupid?
Zachary Moore
Don’t you disrespect the Dorner you fucking queer
Jacob Hill
Fuck off you have no argument. Nobody was harmed. The guys literally asked to come in and if he would talk to them about what was leaked, how he got the information, etc. You losers are acting like 2K sent some gang members in wifebeaters to his house and threatened him if he did it again.
>Sign paper saying you wont do X or Y happens >Do X anyway and Y happens >HELP IM BEING OPPRESSED
Alexander Jackson

Tyler Perez
I think the bigger issue is that the leaked content was so blatant and easily accessible that the streamers didnt think it was leaked/accidental content.
Jack Taylor
Pretty sure he never signed anything from them, and sending men to his door as the FIRST resort is still a step too far.
Isaac Lee
If they send you the information its not illegal, there are no hacking laws against using information they leaked
If you leave your top secret confidential memo at a restaurant you can't sue someone who find it after you leave and tells everyone else about it

jesus what a faggot
Brandon Russell
But they didn't? Explain how they did and try to keep the facts straight since theres a lot of disinfo going around. First off, they didn't get his Youtube shut down, they did DMCA copyrights on the videos in question, then took them back when he agreed to remove them which they had every right to do. His channel is still up. They didn't force him to delete his Twitter, he suspended it because he didn't want to have any discussion on the matter with involved parties, that was his own doing. Finally, the only thing they took away was apparently his official(?) Borderlands discord channel because he was affiliated.
Ryan Ward

Joseph Smith
Pathetic. Were done here. *Sword slashes through you*
Adam Ramirez
If two men trespass on your property why wouldn't you get the gun and demand they fuck off?
Nicholas Gonzalez
Yeah, how weird. They decided to investigate a leak by asking the source of the leaks, what they really should have done is ask the homeless dude around the corner apparently he can read minds
Camden Cooper
He says he was intimidated by guys in suits showing up to his house. Maybe he thought he would get into deeper shit if he told them to go away instead of cooperating.
Jordan Morales
bahroo you are fat you stream is dying we know BL3 is all you have left kill yourself
Logan Brooks
because they would file false DMCA claims on all his videos and have his life nuked, because he is a youtuber
The irony is that they just did this anyway

Noah Allen
His yt is scheduled for deletion, drone.
Charles Anderson
They did the DMCA claims before that, but took them off once he agreed to take the videos down of his own volition.
Christian Howard
The streamer claimed they trespassed. I presumed that means they climbed into his garden or some shit. If he's using the term trespass as a way to say they walked down the path to his front door then he's a fucking div.
Lucas Wood
Apparently knocking at someone's door and asking to talk is considered trespassing and intimidation nowadays.
Kayden Kelly
Unless this is a new development, I don't think this is true. In his video discussing it he said they removed all the strikes from the videos/account.
Gavin Myers
It’s hard to have sympathy for a dude who was charging $$ for leaked info
Bentley Jackson
A lot of retards here misuse the word trespass, read the thread to see a few examples.
Asher Russell
>Everyone seems to be one sided in favor of the customer without regard to what happens to businesses if people can do whatever they want to exploit them back. How exactly the fuck do you think consumers exploit a games company? Piracy? We have numerous reports that say piracy is negligible to actual sails as a game pirated is not a game that would otherwise be legitimately bought, it would just not be played at all. Conversely it is actually other corporations like g2a that fuck over games companies with faulty business practices.
If you have to ask how corporations can be protected you are aren't seeing the forest for the trees.
I assume the amount of programmers that actually have access to a finished build of the game is less than 100 people so they probably got quarantined and found out before getting the chance to upload.
>no wander Exactly, stay off my property and out of my country.
Nolan Phillips
The action we’ve taken is the result of a 10-month investigation and a history of this creator profiting from breaking our policies, leaking confidential information about our product, and infringing our copyrights.”
Are you guys just ignoring the other shit he did? Did you not notice how every week Matto put out a video about BL3 where he goes "Uh hey guys I just got secret insider information that X is in the game." Hes had someone in the company feeding him information for a long time. It wasnt just this one incident.

And that isn't illegal in any way or fashion. He signed nothing.
Matthew Wilson
BAD ASS
Sebastian Wilson
How am I the spineless one? I don't give a shit and do exactly what I want on my own terms. I dont let petty squabbles keep me from what I like. I have my own set of morals, and I don't let companies dictate them.
Joseph Ortiz
Sorry ResetPedo Tranny. Maybe you should've thought this through before before you gangweeded the board to death with making any sort of activism be deemed "cringe"
why is some random guy subject to 2k's "policies" when he doesn't work for them or sign anything?
based retard bootlicker
James Harris
>95% of this board is pro-consumer sure a lot of epic threads defending the chinese
Nicholas Roberts
>wanting an ancient, zombie-looking monstrosity with balloon tits to suck you off fucking gross
Cameron Murphy
And nothing they did was illegal either. Sending lawyers to your house to ask you questions about how you acquired the leaks isn't illegal. Copyright striking leaked video content isn't illegal.
Isaac Cox
To wit: if they want to say he infringed on their IP they will be literally denigrating their own IP. They won't try that route. He is a lone man with no capital. Let them try to say a single man with no capital is capable of infringing or harming their IP.
It tanks it by response. There is a 0% chance they are going to pursue legal action.
Christopher Kelly
That entire first sentence is a lie, but you go ahead and keep guzzling that corporate cock
Tyler Miller
which borderlands character has the best porn please
Jack Murphy
Not since hirokike took over. I'm 99% sure he takes a bribe to allow companies to shill here
Aaron Hernandez
See They didn't do anything to him regarding breaking NDA since he was under no NDA. Hes just a random streamer. They didn't sue him or anything. They asked him questions and DMCA struck his account which a company can do to anyone who leaks copyright information.
Samuel Cook
He isn't. He should have shot them and then called the police saying someone was trying to break into his house.
They weren't lawyers. The falsely presented who they were and who they represented when they trespassed on his property. That is all illegal.
Alexander Long
Since when is Yea Forums corporate dicksuckers? 2K may be even worse than EA games at this point. The IGN, RPS articles are just corporate letters to paint them in a positive light with so many false information that it hurts.
Parker Cook
can I get a quick rundown on Randy? never heard of this guy before
Evan Mitchell
IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OVER
It is illegal to DCMA falsely and they did it over 600 times. No way they were legit.
Ethan Flores
>I have no morals or convictions. How am I spineless? Kill yourself
Ayden Murphy
absolutely based
Colton Powell
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers? It was 2003. I was at home watching the first annual Spike VGAs. It underlined the paradigm shift for me between a dumb hobby for nerds to a popular hobby for dudebros.
>do illegal shit while 2k monitors your discord for 10 months >WTF WHY ARE THERE CONSEQUENCES FOR MY ACTIONS Look, I have no love for Randy or any of his shit, but why are you fags even trying to argue here? The guy broke the fucking law.
Ayden Murphy
False copyright claims are a felony
Kayden Sanchez
leaks dont break the law you retarded zoomer
Daniel Kelly
While I dislike 2K, lets not pretend Pat is out guy either. Hes become as bad as Matt was. Hes a huge SJW now. Him and Woolie basically every week now have a segment about how "Gross anime games are and how women are treated in the gaming world."
Lincoln Harris
>all of these ResetERA trannies calling me a bootlicker. Sorry you dickless freaks. This gamer is going to STAND DOWN.
They do if you sign an NDA you fucking retard, which he did.
Samuel Powell
Stop spouting what IGN and RPS said, they are just mouthpieces for their corporate overlords. Or you a corporate mouthpiece?
Jace Carter
Luckily its not a false DMCA to ask someone to take down leaked information. Not sure about the total count, but even 2-3 would have been enough to end the channel.
Bentley Allen
Wasn't it Gearbox that also tried to sue some game website because they caught win and publish something saying borderlands three was officially underway before whoever gearbox gave an exclusivity contract to did and claiming that infringed on their copyright?
They kind of have a history being fast and lose with what actually counts as their and what become free press when it leave the office, official or not.
Charles Morgan
filtering the word bootlicker makes reading this thread much better.
Daniel Cox
i defend because it makes you faggots seethe
Elijah Clark
I have morals, but only in regards to things that affect me. I don't care about what happened to Matto because I would never be stupid enough to be in his position, and honestly I think he deserves it.
Imagine licking the boot of corporations because you like a shit game
Nathaniel Green
So I should just believe whatever random anons on Yea Forums think is the reality of the situation?
Christopher Perez
a man sitting in his room talking about a thing with the camera on him is fair use and transformative by definition. It is illegal to file a false DCMA claim.
Jace Gray
>Eurotrash faggots >avoiding responsibility
Clockwork
Ryder Turner
>private investigators mean thugs lol
Jaxson Hughes
>Hes a huge SJW now.Him and Woolie basically every week now have a segment about how "Gross anime games are and how women are treated in the gaming world." Literally what the fuck are you talking about? Why lie?
You people think fair use is some all powerful magical word. Its the same shit where people think "Free speech" means they can say whatever they want without consequences. In reality theres a ton of things not covered by fair use or free speech. One is profiting from leaked information.
Nolan Ramirez
>when you become so contrarian you start defending corporations trying to fuck over consumers Yea Forums has gone down the shitter
Josiah Gonzalez
>you: "So cringe. 'Gamers Rise up!" >also you: "fucking bootlicker" making up your mind, tranny.
Nicholas Perez
>send people to someones house over a youtube video isn't an obvious attempt to intimidate and harass
based low IQ brainlet
Easton Phillips
Everyone is upset about them ever since that episode where they talk about Catherine and how the transgender character should not have gotten their "good ending" to be them going back in time and not transitioning.
Luke Price
NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE
Dylan James
stay mad
Kayden Murphy
If you live in a mutt nation, yes. You should now better.
Ian Williams
corporatocracy is coming. keep screaming about socialism/far right/facists/SJWs. it is a distraction from the real threat to the USA and its people.
Connor Price
>Dont even physically touch him >""""thugs"""""
Dominic Williams
No he did not, you fucking retard
Carter Smith
if your youtube or twitch is monetized you are profiting from leaked information
anyone talking about rainbow rarity guns on youtube or twitch right now is profiting
why aren't they getting DMCA claims if its a valid claim
Dylan Scott
trannies and SJWs are the ground-level enforcers of the corporatocracy
Hunter Reyes
How in literally any way does this fuck the consumer? Gearbox fucked up, then some retard paraded it around for LITERAL MONTHS, then gearbox eventaully gets around to sending some PI's over and get him to stop. How does this effect the gameplay? Mechanics? Cost of the fucking game? It doesnt? Then WHY should I give a FUCK that some retard that paraded shit out in the open in an easily tracable way got shut down?
Kayden Richardson
Exactly, and yet you still have "people" on here defending them
Blake Reyes
Most pussiest bitches in game. They show up while you're under leveled, but get ghost when youre godlike strong
Grayson Myers
>Getting triggered people call you what are you are Maybe dont be so retarded in the future
Noah Long
and you trannies played right into their hands with the #resistance shit.
Daniel Green
A thug or a goon implies that they sent someone over to rough him up or some shit. If a PI shows up at your door, he could have laughed, whipped out his cock, and pissed on them from the comfort of his door step. Stop being a fucking pussy.
Jacob Harris
Because despite what you think companies don't have a team of people scrolling through Youtube trying to shut down every obscure Youtuber with 10 subs. They go after the big dogs to set an example after they find out about them leaking through social media.
Henry Bailey
Pathetic shoe sucker
William Martinez
How many fuckups is Gearbox allowed to have on Yea Forums
Because for some reason it seems like Yea Forums always forgives this absolute dogshit company
Occam's razor says otherwise: people talk often about popular game series. There's no conspiracy necessary to explain this.
Jonathan Clark
HELP ME GAMERS MY ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES RISE UP
Hudson Carter
In this case the guy literally fucking flaunted that he had leaks for fucking months, its his own fucking fault
Liam Walker
>let these thugs in goy, don't want to create "controversy" do you? the only "manly" thing for this guy to do was to tell these corpo stooges to fuck off and get off his property within 1 minute or he's going to forcibly see them off rifle in hand
>Where were you when the video game industry said fuck you to their consumers?
I was in grade school because video game companies have always been predatory shitheads
Remember arcades, faggot? Where they put in games designed to require perfect execution of memorized patterns that take dozens of hours to grasp in order to milk quarters?
Fuck game companies. When they're worth more than 8 figures they're just another corporate vampire.
People defending gearbox and Randy are the epitome of brainless NPCs. They can sell you shit, steal your money and tell you to fuck off and there will still be shills telling you "they're not so bad! reddit hates them so they must be good!" Its actual brainlet tribalism and contrarianism because they dont know how to act any other way.
thats right keep playing their game. dont you want to OWN the libs? TRIGGER the libs? they will surely reward you for the unquestioning support. you are the beta orbiters of corperations and the Job Creators(APUT). bunch of white knighting niggas. You know they aint gonna make you rich right? get real nigga.
Ayden Sanchez
>guy charging people money to see leaks >n-not illegal!!! He was literally profiting from something he didnt create. Just fucking stop
Nolan White
>Are you retarded? What did user mean by this?
Daniel Martinez
>it is illegal and here is why >S-S-S-SHILL!!!!!!! Next time, try to argue with something other than you're feelings you fucking woman
Dylan Moore
Talking about information a company has released is fair use, disclosing company secrets is not. Featuring screenshots from an unreleased game is not fair use.
Prove it. I can also sell oranges I bought elsewhere. Literally me profiting off something I didn't create. Additionally, Take 2 has to prove they DID create it, as stupid as that sounds. Which they won't do as it spoils the entire game.
Bentley Edwards
He doesn't have to prove he didn't sell info. Take 2 has to prove he did. Which they can't do or they would have revealed that info at this time.
He didn't reveal any company secrets. What happens within a game by Gearbox has no bearing on the internal workings of Take 2.
Oliver Mitchell
Nice proof bootlicking faggot
Parker Carter
>Prove it. Look at fucking copyright law you fucking retard. >Additionally, Take 2 has to prove they DID create it, as stupid as that sounds. Which they won't do as it spoils the entire game. They can literally show it in court? And that defense literally falls apart when the game launches.
Connor Rogers
in what way is that illegal? If i had damming evidence on the clintons but wanted a payout from a paper to reveal the info does it then become illegal?
Hunter Long
Not proof, retard
Oliver Wood
>hey judge this faggot was doing the thing using out videogame, here is the footage from our game and here's the shit he was selling >hm yes this is fucking identical. Guilty! >Yea Forums women scream in anger
