Well, it's not a simple task and he'd make way more money making a new game for PC. Also, he's probably never developed for the Wii U, so it would probably take a large amount of time and might not work. Thirdly, Nintendo would have to approve the games being added to their mostly kid friendly Internet store.

If you want a rundown of lore/story/theory check out GameTheory on YouTube. They do a pretty good job.

They're on mobile too.

Kinda, but at that price point, there won’t be many of these out there. Also, if someone is spending that much on a controller for use in an FPS, they’ll probably be pretty good at said FPS anyways.

Well, by physical labor I didn’t mean standing in the middle of a field mindlessly smashing a hammer against a rock for no reason, I meant productive uses of physical labor, or more like the rehabilitation camps parents send out of control kids to. The kids that end up there start with 0 rights. That means asking…

I hope so. But I also hope this handler knows a thing or two about computers. I also think mandated therapy, physical labor, and an internet ban would be the better option to aid rehabilitation.

Well thank you for the information. I’d been wondering how that worked exactly. So it’s basically just probation, and as long as he doesn’t screw up, there won’t be anything extra?

He makes a product people are willing to sit through ads to see. Is this such a hard concept?

I was holding out for AoT dubs for paying for Funimation, but I’m tempted to hit that button this season. I’ll see how many of the shows I stick with on Crunchyroll before I make that decision. It’s not like I don’t have a 600+ game backlog on Steam, 200+ hour queue on Netflix, 100+ hour queue on Crunchyroll, and a…

And the Tower in Destiny.

Inconvenience? I haven’t heard of an inconvenience that costs tens of millions of dollars before.

Besides that, I totally agree with you. The swatting is way worse, as is the fake bomb threats and the like. Definitly feels like a light sentence.

Could go after his parents. And it could be either Sony or Microsoft. Or a class-action lawsuit by everyone who owns a console.

Unless said cop knows nothing of computers and he’s really hacking everything.

He has a suspended sentence. Basically gives the kid two years to get anxious and think about what he did until the judge (I presume it’ll be the same one) decides on a real punishment for such an unprecedented amount of interenet crime. Also, Finlad rarely sends non-violent people to jail, so we’ll se how it goes.

I’m okay with him not being locked up with criminals, but you’d think there’d be some sort of detention center where he can do some hard manual labor for a few (6ish) months.

If he doesn’t just use the sentence to get deeper into a system, then screw it up completely. 50k charges is a ton. Doesn’t just change overnight.

He should have been forced to cut ties with the internet. As part of his sentence, he should not be able to have access to the interenet or internet-capable devices, not a slap on the wrist with “promise you’ll help this time” crap.

I don’t think Bungie ended up with a whole ton of money, to be honest. I mean, sure, more than some companies, but Bungie just did Halo games, which Microsoft owns the liscense to. They were contracted out. Destiny 2 will sell 75% of the copies Destiny did, if not more. Depends on how they market it.

Well, except bottle caps can actually collect monetary value over time.

Depends on the store. My local store is filed with great people that help you work the system if they can. They're great people, gamers, and most of all, fed up with all the bullshit too. One of the employees actually recommends not picking up pre-order games until reviews come in.
