Ngl, I’d pirate the shit out of GTA:Milton Keynes

I'm the same way. I might have got BF6, I played the beta and fell in love cause it felt like BC2 which was my favorite BF game. Sadly the hoops I had to jump through to even get it to work on a *windows* system, let alone getting it to work on my Debian system, combined with the price tag was enough to hard push me away from buying it. It's a shame because the game was stupid levels of fun, and felt organic. They just are out-casting their userbase by their decisions to block Non-Windows systems.

Hold out for the Luton expansion, they developed 13 more shades of concrete, just for the game!

Yeah. Aren't they in Scotland?

> discord after they specifically sold the unionists out. Source, please? Nobody claimed that except you

read the title again…

They were in a discord group. That's a far cry from 'discord selling them out'

> ... (*checks what comm I'm in*) ..Acquiring it. most relatable thing I've heard all day

His point is simple enough that you should understand. Use your brain.

Now get your critical thinking skills cap on: How did Rockstar games identify each member of the discord group?

Screenshots of employee devices, having a mole in the group, etc etc? We all know there's a million ways to gain information about people online, there's literally a dozen comms on lemmy about privacy and protecting your info. Your critical thinking cap is more like a conspiracy theory cap. It's not impossible discord collaborated with rockstar, but it's fucking unlikely. What would discord even have to gain from it that's worth the risk?

lol, this is what I deserve for not reading the damn article

I made [essentially the same comment](https://sh.itjust.works/comment/21901991) on another thread yesterday, but I think it might have gone over most people's heads. That or they didn't want to admit it.

So you're implying to me, a mole managed acquire what Discord has in it's database, and managed to 1:1 identify employees and rat them out, instead of just bribing Discord to give them GEOlocation and MAC address information… >What would discord even have to gain from it that’s worth the risk? Money. [GTA is one of the most famous genre people make groups for](https://disboard.org/search?keyword=gta). Why would you turn down a whale rancher's bribe to identify employees willing to negotiate for better conditions when your [rancher is a billionaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take-Two_Interactive) that can buy you?

Schreier couldn't be bothered to list what the employees positions were. Gonna take a wild guess they weren't devs

Thanks for the recommendations! Especially Easy Red 2 I am a big fan of the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series and there is a mod coming out soon for Rising Storm 2 called Black Orchestra that I'm planning to fill the Battlefield shaped hole in my heart with. It's in beta right now, but you best believe I'll be letting *everyone* know about it when it hits steam.

This is the most disheartening reply, but also the most telling.

I think it's a bit self-indulgent to consider that this is big-brained or world-shattering to people. You're just repeating the dominant explanation for why these companies can make profit despite their immorality, it isn't challenging or new.

That's against the law, but don't count on this DoJ to enforce it.

This is a good question to ask. This person is not very critical of what they've said and is clearly satisfied with liberal explanations for people's behaviour. Their point is that people are just fundamentally bad and that is why these companies make profit despite an apparently universal condemnation of their actions. It's shallow, inaccurate, and is only useful to feel morally superior to some imagined decadent group that is the source of this problem.
