@RSDCDN@jokeryanggang@BocaBola_ I agree... This is like being stabbed to death and thinking, "Well, at least they haven't ripped off my arms". Well, yeah, sure... but you're dead either way.
GeForce Now (Grid) launched in 2013, lmao, but we're measuring inches at this point. No matter how much you retards continue to kick and scream about how they still care about gamers, 90%+ of their revenue comes from AI now. You are a drop in a bucket. They do not give a fuck about you.
@mrneo86@imarlax@BocaBola_ Brother, if you're going to shit on me, you might want to spell the thing you're trying to shit on me with correctly. Also, who gives a fuck?
Cool story, man. It's not a mistake to knowingly lie about who you are; it's not a mistake to knowingly enter your personal credit card information into a platform's payment system, and it's not a mistake to knowingly kick off a penetration testing agent on said platform.
They can make whatever claims they want all day about their intent. It doesn't change the fact that there were many steps along the way at which this person could have thought, "this is a bad idea", and they didn't.
Mistakes are things we don't mean to do, and they happen. The mistake may have been that this went farther than they wanted to go. However, everything else that led up to that was not a mistake and was intentional (including the intention of a smaller reach of the pen test). Their employee set all that up with the intent to run unauthorized pen tests on competing platforms. You won't convince me that wasn't the intent because they've said it themselves.
Like I've said in other posts, the best scenario is negligence, which still doesn't erase other folks' desire for accountability, which they continue to dodge by making the whole thing seem like it was an accident, which it wasn't.
This is such an annoying retort that ignores the context of the situation bringing “um actually” energy when it’s not warranted. Do you “accidentally” try to penetration test platforms you don’t have permission to do so on under a false identity every day? I’m thinking the answer is no.
Ah yes,the “victimless crime”. Malicious or not doesn’t detract from the fact that what was done was in carelessness and criminally negligent at the very best. The same way you can’t walk up to a judge and say, “I didn’t mean to” or “I didn’t know” and expect to get off free.
Now, the internet taking on judge, jury, and executioner is wrong imo but such is the internet if you’ve been around long enough.
In the end, the internet isn’t satisfied with their answer and is calling BS because, frankly, they haven’t been honest. You don’t just stumble into providing a false identity on a competing platform by accident and run scans like they did. It’s just not feasible.
@GregorySchier@Gombally_ Classifying committing actual felonies as a “mistake” is either ignoring important facts or incredibly naive. I don’t doubt they may be good folks but good folks are still capable of knowingly doing wrong things.
