On the other hand, how many times have cops killed benign mentally ill people while claiming in their reports that the person they murdered was a violent, dangerous, criminal?

I don't think autism is what made him do crime. Other things he has may he treatable.

Erm... no cure for autism bro. I should know.

Lol, mental health treatment in the US is a lifetime of homelessness, this pick yourselves by the bootstraps boomer culture doesn't not have time cures or treatment if you don't have the money.

He’s technically not being punished, he’s being treated. Ideally, at some point he’ll be able to manage his condition so that he’s no longer inclined to crime.

He’s a hacker he isn’t a danger.

I'm in the U.K. This still has the unpleasant whiff of money about it.

Eh...maybe.

That is in no way a fitting punishment for the crime of “hacking” companies that should already have had better systems in place. Does he not have any family, is house arrest not an option?

Yeah I didn’t want a live service, just a modern update to Factions, bummer that wasn’t their intention. Probably for the best to kill the live service project, but let’s not pretend Last of Us 3 was in danger of not happening because of a live service project, that series is a cash cow and they’re going to milk it…

Please let this be the harbinger of a sea change within the industry. The world needs fewer of these live service abominations - not more.

“I have never in my 13 years of playing Dota 2 ever done anything like this, and when I realized it felt wrong and was the wrong way to go about things, I stopped it, sadly you can’t undo a mistake you made,” he wrote. “I’m asking for a second chance, because I will never do anything like this again, and I never have…

Mason: “So that’s it? After 13 years, so long, good luck?”

Yeah smurfing is bullshit and should not be tolerated.
