Hackers steal 30,000 Steam keys from indie game dev.

wow it terrible to do that and its even worse when it is an indie dev that is probably just starting out to make some money but he probably just lost a lot after that

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

Those basterds, this is a bit extreme but i hope them hackers lose their source of income, they have  most likely destroyed the moral of the devs

That is indeed a dick move why would you do such a thing?

See the Mr. Pants encyclopedia of Earth species section 14 page 184:

 

Species: Humans (Hu~mans)

 

1. The most evolved species on the planet Earth and the only one who has developed beyond the use of basic tools, despite being capable of great act's of creativity and kindness Humans unfortunately have a preference for basically acting like major dicks to their own kind and any other species they come into contact with. It is best to avoid them when possible due to the fact that given sufficient reason to do so they will screw you over, take your stuff and probably kick you in the nuts, slap your mother and call you a faggot.

 

 

 

 

None of what happened surprised me at all, you can't be nice to people period because someone will screw you. I heard that the Dev is working on getting the keys deactivated so hopefully it will be like this never happened, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dev never does this again.

That requires you buy a new console, that's harder than finding a torrent and clicking download.

I disagree. Flashing or buying a flashed console (to begin with) and then just pirate a game that doesn't even need a crack is easier than pirating a game that needs a crack. If you are buying a second hand console then you will probably have an easier time finding one that is flashed, than one that isn't flashed (because so many people got flashed consoles).

You're too egocentric in your way of thinking. Just because you don't know how to flash a console, and already has a non-flashed console, doesn't mean people buying consoles today and/or know how to flash see any difficulties in doing so.

Fair enough, my point still stands about the online communities though. (If you read that post)

Can't they just cancel those steam keys?

Wow wonder what they would do with those keys other than giving them away which was their original idea. But this is actually bad as they lost that many keys and don't have alot of give out anymore.
