One of the simplest answers is that someone likely was using it at work, and just left a window open while they went to the bathroom. Someone saw it and ratted. Until proven Discord shared the info, it's a little dangerous to make the assumption.

I live my life as simply as possible, and I don't feel superior to anyone. Having said that I stand by my reply. Just because it evoked some feeling of shame from you isn't my problem.

That's against the law, but don't count on this DoJ to enforce it.

I know you're being sarcastic, but if does point out the fact that capitalism is only held in check by government. RockStar obviously waited until they knew they could get away with it given the current attitudes in all branches of the US government.

If you like the old-school top-down GTA feel, American Fugitive is super cheap now and is a good-ish game. Same dev has The Precinct, which is top-down GTA but you're playing a cop. The story is not a strong point with either, but if you need that, go to a different genre. And there is also Rustler, which is ridiculously fun.

"I don't feel superior to anyone... . ... evoked some feeling of shame from you isn't my problem." You can't even pretend to be an honest person without trying to suggest other people are less morally pure than you. This is not a simple life, it is a dishonest one. I will not be responding again, obviously. There's no conversing with people who lie to themselves.

Pfft...Like y'all don't know what to do with GTA VI.

So you're implying to me, a mole managed acquire what Discord has in it's database, and managed to 1:1 identify employees and rat them out, instead of just bribing Discord to give them GEOlocation and MAC address information… >What would discord even have to gain from it that’s worth the risk? Money. [GTA is one of the most famous genre people make groups for](https://disboard.org/search?keyword=gta). Why would you turn down a whale rancher's bribe to identify employees willing to negotiate for better conditions when your [rancher is a billionaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take-Two_Interactive) that can buy you?

Nah, they're saying a member of the discord group might know the other members of the discord group. That member might rat out the other members.

So a singular [mole](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mole#%3A%7E%3Atext=4%2C%3A+a+spy) was able to identify all 30 employed members of a discord group? I haven't been answered [a homework I gave out🧵](https://mlmym.lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/17679982). Hopefully it brings enlightenment.

"Gross misconduct, and no other reason"... from 30 people at once? And they're not going to elaborate on what the "misconducts" were? Maybe we're supposed to believe the fact they were all part of the same discussion to unionize was a coincidence, too?

Where did you read that all employed members of the discord group were identified by a single mole? I must have missed that in the article. I myself suspect a combination of techniques was used, one of which was one or more moles.

I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I'm... (*checks what comm I'm in*) ..Acquiring it. Lol Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users ‍️ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

Ngl, I’d pirate the shit out of GTA:Milton Keynes

GTA6 will still sell millions of copies, many to people in threads just like this one that are appalled at RS's action.
