It's not just GTA...

That was while he was already on bail for other offenses, and apparently he's just flat out saying he's going to keep doing it and nothing will stop him...

So, it's not like there's any other options.

I worked at a day program for people with autism and other issues, and there's just some people with the right mix of symptoms and abilities, where they're capable of doing incredibly harmful things, but just literally can't understand why they shouldn't and you just can't explain it in a way they understand.

Which seems to be what's going on here. Dude just refuses to stop and he's going to do it again the second he's able.

He pulled this off while under supervision of police while in a hotel. Nothing short of him being in a controlled environment 24/7 is going to prevent it.

Although he stayed at a hotel under police protection during this time, Kurtaj still managed to carry out an attack on Rockstar Games by using the room’s included Amazon Fire Stick and a “newly purchased smart phone, keyboard and mouse,” according to a separate BBC report.

Looks like they should hire him no?

5 millions loss for rockstar games, like is it even a lot for them?

“He’s required to stay in the hospital prison for life unless doctors determine that he’s no longer a danger.” Imagine taking the Hippocratic Oath and then getting a gig like this..

We as a society should stop punishing people for insignificant crimes against big corpos. This sentence sounds something out of a dystopia. Really, even if there is supposedly 5 million USD in damages, are there any proof that anyone working at Rockstar games will feel the impact as a person? It is such a huge company I bet they wouldn't even feel it. Maybe there needs to be some cost cutting here and there, or maybe some people will lose some jobs? But neither warrants lifelong confinement - this is something you might get if you ruin someones life forever.

Maybe someone who understands better can explain, but isn't "lifelong confinement" a bit harsh for what amounts to someone taking the loose change out of my sofa after entering without asking?

I'm aware of their status, I just think we should be past Bedlam by now.

Between this and Nintendo basically enslaving that one guy by garnishing his wages for the rest of his life, game companies are getting way too comfortable using the law like a cudgel, just because they can. No fucking video game content being leaked justifies a game-shitter-outer to be able to do this. Guess I'll be boycotting.

what are sentencing guidelines for child molestors?

yea throw away all that talent because he aint obedient enough

As I've learned through life experience, there is no sin society will punish disproportionally harder than not conforming. Doesn't matter how well I behave or how many rules I break, none of it ever matters. Everything's always fine up until I make it clear other people can't control me.

The world is run by fascists who get off on having power over others, and punish severely those who resist that oppression.

Like his character is locked in a hospital in the game, right? Right??

Blaming autism for a lack of regard for big corporations... Because corporations are always rational, reasonable, lawful actors. They're also, of course, basically people.

This is fucked up.
