    On the upside, those 30 people are probably enough to form their own group and start making games. I hope they do and earn back their losses.

    Rockstar is undoubtedly evil, but come on, Discord group?! These people work in a tech industry for fuck’s sake.

      You use an insecure but accessible option? You have a chance at organizing successfully but you risk union busting.

      You use a secure but inaccessible option that people don’t already use? You have no chance at organizing.

      Discord is where the people are. As an organizer, you don’t get to decide for people where they should be, you hold your nose and use a secure option for the organizing committee.

      discord being insecure almost certainly had nothing to do with it
      they either had a rat or someone left a device signed in unattended where a rat could find it

        Literally a lemmy instance is more secure, but also matrix, signal, fucking whatsapp might even work because Facebook has to keep up an image that they have a secure private product even when they don’t. Discord is famous for leaks.

    Is it the most blatant and ruthless act? I know in other industries union busting has historically been more ruthless, and I kind of imagined there was something more ruthless in gaming too.
