My other half said it's better to choose a female avatar because if you're going to be looking at an arse for tens of hours it may as well be a nice one. I can't disagree.

This has been my way of thinking for some time too lol.

 

Last time I had such a "choice" in a game was Resi 6 where I played as Helena instead of Leon and Sherry instead of Jake for that exact reason.

Dominating people in gunfights on GTAO as a 6’ Barbie and hearing the howls of lamentation and misogynistic abuse through the in-game chat is still delightful, and has been since 2013.

What happened with GTAV? That had Franklin as a main character and that didn’t seem to harm its success.

GamerGate and the ensuing never ending chudsplosion that followed didn’t happen until over a year after GTA5 came out.

 

Fuck that game is old.

[ChristopherBloodAxe]

Also Franklin is a bloke.

Yeah it’s only woke if it‘s a woman most of the time.

It’s too hard to keep up with what these idiots are offended by. It’s almost like they’re just making shit up a they go.

Alleged GTA hacker isn't even old enough to buy GTA.

They couldn't have changed that to 'Busted!' in this one instance?

17 year old and has this degree of skill?.

There you go.

[JPL]

I wonder what they’ll do with him. I can’t imagine he’ll get any more than a slap on the wrists really, being only 17, if it’s his first offence.

[Mitchell]

He will be banned from computers and touch-tone telephones until his 18th birthday, then he will hack a local TV station.

Personally I've gravitated to female avatars since World of Warcraft. You run the risk of boob armour but, anecdotally, they're better voice acted and just nicer to look at. There's probably something Freudian going on too.

 

I've chosen female characters for a long time now, for the main reason that they end up having better voice acting, apart from JRPGs

 

I can't stand all that "sitrep" macho bullshit in games

Frankly, hearing the female VA in Ghost Recon Wildlands shout “FUCKING HELL” anytime you come under fire was my favorite part of the whole game

Does she say "Shitballs" too?

[Retroid]

Mostly male avatars but it's what ever interests me the most tbh. If I don't see something odd then I try to make myself.

I don't follow game devs so this was all really interesting.

Are people really too stupid to understand that early builds of games will always look rough?

 

Oh wait yes, the modern internet.

Another sad indictment of education.

[Mr. Gerbik]

As is the amount of (presumably young people) wondering what the hell he did that's an actual criminal offence. Genuine surprise at the notion of the FBI investigating a game leak, because surely it's just a game leak those happen all the time.

Yeah seen a few baffling comments, like "but why? He leaked footage that was given overwhelmingly positive comments."

 

Ah that's OK then, it got a good social media reaction.

I mean, as someone who was primarily interested in the leak because of the insight it gave into AAA development, this is an amazing result. 

[meatbin]

Can someone explain how someone who is smart and savvy enough to hack a major organisation, has got caught doing so? 

 

I would have thought he would have made himself undetectable, but guessing the FBI located his IP address or what?

Because of clout. It's the equivalent of someone stealing a phone then taking a selfie with it.

[Uncle Nasty]

Yeah, bragging on Reddit is what I read. Gotta get those updoots.

[Festoon]

The amount of unacceptably stupid people who don't know how games are made is staggering. Same people probably somehow spend half their time watching Digital Foundry videos but understand nothing.

The idea that he’d have the knowledge to perform a security breach of this level but not good enough opsec to avoid this Reddit account getting traced is insane.

 

I do always wonder why people don’t just dump this stuff on 4chan.
