If they're not using burner accounts on disposable/amnesiac Linux installs, its kind of on them.

Wasn't there a thread the other week warning everyone about Microsoft device fingerprinting and there were chuds in the comments saying it was a nothing-burger and the fingerprinting was necessary for licensing or some shit? Talk about timing!

Did they check the marketing department?

Or you could let Rockstar release the game and let your shareholders take a 0.5% hit to their stock portfolio and make it up in the games actual release..

No no no that makes too much sense and the shareholders won't get a 1.5% bump if you release it before the next shareholders something something.

I'm not even going to buy GTA6 until I can buy with a disc.

You all don't care about me, enjoy your game.. Until it's disc based I won't be buying it.

I haven't played GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas or GTA 4 for a while.. I'll play those instead.

man I honestly do not know how these people are so brave. Seriously. They're going to be absolutely giga-fucked when they're found out, and it sounds like they're going to be since they're using OneDrive, Discord, and it sounds like their crypto address is directly linked to a known crypto exchange who validates IDs. It's only a matter of time. At this point they should be planning on leaving the country IMO.

Also note how they're asking for Machine IDs. We only heard about their existence a month ago over "security" and already the lawyers are using them. Don't trust non-open-source.

Take Two won't forget this, they go after mod developers. They're only a step down from Nintendo in terms of their legal pushes.

If there is no jail (which at this point I'd be surprised), minimum they're going to have millions owed. Guaranteed these are some idiot kids who are going to fuck up the rest of their lives.

Big for Matrix and XMPP and maybe Delta, sure why not.

j/k, they'll never leave discord

Not to defend anybody involved here but the article does not say that the request has been fulfilled, only filed

Attachment A asks Microsoft to return that identifier for every account that was a member of, or communicated with any of the three listed Discord servers between June 1, 2026 and the present, in addition to the three handles named in the filings.

I haven't looked in the directions of these servers... and I feel itchy.

OneDrive contents? No company should be allowed access to that. Looks like it's time to encrypt OneDrive. Actually, all cloud storage should have some encryption that doesn't rely on the provider.
