Problem with your reasoning. No one’s really saying they’re wrong for the actual act of pirating. They’re saying the outrage and shock they’re displaying over the consequences of getting caught are ridiculous. Anyone who pirates stuff these days HAS to know that it’s a crime and there are risks involved with the act.…

There doesn’t actually exist a system to check for banned consoles via serial. They would have to check via actually attempting to connect. Many retailers don’t actually have a wifi on hand to facilitate this.

It wasn’t ok when I did it back then, and it isn’t ok now.

No. it’s like you stealing a Mercedes, and then when you get caught boycotting the purchase of a Mercedes.

Cindy, I’m going to need you to turn in your internet card. That’s clearly way to reasonable of a way to respond, and you’re being way to mature for this mode of discussion.

Sure, when I was 13 and I didn’t have a job.

I’m sorry for all the people who fail to understand you were the victim of someone else doing this.

Some players are suggesting, for example, to acquire a legit 3DS by purchasing one, extracting its information and injecting it into the banned 3DS, and then returning the new 3DS to retailers—potentially fucking over whoever goes on to buy that system in the future.

Before I clicked in “Can’t wait to see this, it’ll be a bunch of 4chan posts complaining that Nintendo banned them and that they feel they shouldn’t be banned”

What’s funny is that as a Democrat, you could legitimately use the same list. It’s a meaningless list that can be applied to any number of people regardless of party.

Lol what the fuck... ‘false advertisement’. Admit it, you didn’t like this episode because he shat on your favorite franchise.

are you just a reverse, dumb-person troll then? the only reason these coins have value is because someone else wants them. if there are infinite coins, no one would pay money for them. it doesn’t matter whether they came from EA, God, or a horses’s asshole. you seem to have trouble with the idea of digital or…

Upon realizing just how little Trump and his team grasped about the presidency, the advisors assigned to help the transition effort were allegedly devastated: “A few of them can barely say Trump’s name without their voice cracking.”

This is my favorite part from the WSJ article:

SAMIR Shit, shit, shit, shit. Son of a bitch! Shit! This is a - fuck! Son of  a bitch! Shit!  MICHAEL What happened?  PETER You tell me, Michael, it’s your software!  SAMIR Yes, it’s your software!  PETER Corporate accounting is sure as hell going to notice 305, 3 (grabs the  receipt) 26.13!! Michael!!  MICHAEL Oh…

Well considering they sold it to a third party for less than EA was likely selling the coins for then you can probably argue that yes EA lost that much money and maybe even more. Since they were apparently selling the coins to dealers they in turn flipped those coins for a cheaper price then EA I’m sure. I don’t know…

If you don’t see the crime here, you don’t know what fraud means. They allegedly used deception (sending the server false signals) to receive a benefit. This is no different than sending a bank false data that results in money that is not yours ending up in your bank account.

So much stupidity in one post...

but he’s not a successful businessman. If fact, everything he’s done on his own has been an abject failure. His focus is going to be figuring out ways to funnel public money into his pockets.

I just read through that. My favorite part was where they said We’re going to put illegal immigrants who re-enter the country into federal prision for a minimum of 2-5 years... So, lemme get this straight, rather than just continuing to deport someone (which costs, what... a bus/plane ticket?), we’re going to spend…
