| KManX89 said: Is anyone still picking up BL3 after all the latest shenanigans? As for me, no. Between the Randy Pitchford ordeal and 2K/Take Two sending goons to SupMatto's house, basically stalking and harassing him for 10 hours straight and getting his YouTube channel deleted, I'm all onboard the #BoycottBorderlands3 train. I'm not supporting these scumbags, which is exactly what buying the game new entails. Here's an idea: if they or any of these companies don't want their shit getting leaked, then they should impose better security measures. |
“I will add that since I’ve had time to reflect on the situation, I’d say excitement got the better of my judgment,” SupMatto said. “As an adult, as someone who’s thought about it, it was a pretty shitty thing to do.”
Following the alleged visit from investigators, SupMatto’s Discord account was terminated for being “involved in selling, promoting or distributing cheats, hacks or cracked accounts.” He voluntarily closed his Twitter account, too, and later dispelled rumors that Take-Two and 2K were behind the disappearance of his profile.
SupMatto says he’s seen how online communities, many with disparate motives, have latched on to his story and used it to further online crusades against 2K, Gearbox, and others. He says many people commenting on the issue are “exaggerating” or don’t have all the facts. As a result, after issuing his latest video, SupMatto says he’s taking time away from his online activities. https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/7/20758955/2k-games-borderlands-3-supmatto-defense-leaks-youtube
I admit that I chuckled a bit at how well that lined up with the OP.
