Let's review the facts...
The Pokémon company, in their own incompetence, leaked information by literally shipping it out to everyone on the internet who cared to download a copy of their game.
A child with computer skills found the data, got all enthusiastic about it and told the world via social media.
This fucking guy called the kid's house and bullied and threatened his family with legal repercussions that would likely not ever materialize.
He threatened a kid whose only crime was loving his employer's shitty game too much with a federal crime. An empty threat at that. "Hacking software, that’s a federal crime". What hacking software? Your own incompetence led to this. Try not sending people data you don't want them to have.
This piece of shit is actually so proud of what he did he brags about it in public instead of keeping it to himself.
This fucking asshole actually got a kick out of watching the kid's live reactions to his nonsense on Twitter.
A child's curiosity was destroyed for the sake of a corporation's profit and control. Using his skills to analyze files? He will never do it again.
Bullying a child and his family somehow made this guy a legend in the Pokémon company.
Nintendo and all related corporations willingly employ people like this guy.
At those firms, shitting all over your customers and their families makes you a legend.
Did I understand all the facts correctly? I need to double check because what I just read made me doubt my sanity.
I refuse to believe this guy is stupid to the point he actually thinks the kid "hacked" the game. I must conclude that this was just a power play from the rich corporation he represents. The real threat was to bankrupt his family with a nonsense court case which would no doubt drain their time and money. Even if they won in court, it would be a pyrrhic victory due to the costs involved. Therefore despite likely having no leg to stand on this asshole leveraged the legal system to bully a child and his family into obedience to their corporate overlord.
I've always suspected this was the real intention behind all the "threats" coming from these corporations. Never thought I'd actually see them not only confirm it but also brag about it in public. What a wortless piece of shit.
