This is a view shared by literally zero people. It is so lacking in basic reasoning and logic that it's almost frightening to see it on a normally more rational site like Hacker News. Let's change the wording around a bit. What makes hacking a "game company" exempt from normal ethics into breaking and entering? What if the "game company" consists of only a single employee who uses their personal laptop? Totally fine to break into their computer and steal their data right? Why stop at "game companies"? How about all companies? How about you? Why just computers? Remember that one time when you accidentally left your apartment window open, and then a "hacker" waltzed in and took pictures of all your personnel effects?

> This is a view shared by literally zero people So you make a claim, and to try and pass that claim off as believable you change literally every parameter you can possibly change.

They didn’t say anything about hacking someone’s personal laptop to steal someone’s personal data. They didn’t say anything about hacking all companies, they didn’t say anything about themselves being hacked, they didn’t say anything about someone entering their home and stealing their shit. They said: > Hacking a game company just so you can show people what is being worked on should not be a crime. And just to prove you wrong, you can add me to the tally. Now it’s a view shared by at least two people.
