    These people are committing literal actual crimes, if locating them were easy it would barely even be a thing. That's why they can do it.

    Zoe Quinn does not have the money to even think about suing Twitter

    Phil Fish maybe could've assisted, but he has probably just had all his money stolen

    kickstarter/support from developer community?

    not saying they have to or that this is a preferable course of action

    just a possible venue to go down if one were to actually consider taking legal action

    Okay I just checked my wallet and I have twenty bucks, an expired movie pass for ASM2 that I never ended up using, and a business card for an elderly amateur party clown.

    This was all a ploy by Quinn to sell more copies of her free game.

    She's a little apprehensive about taking a dive in her money bin.

    hell, try and see if you can get sony involved; they're all about getting indie cred - PR and indie connections could be worth the monetary hit for a corp their size

    again, this is an idea by a dude who doesn't actually know all that much about how this stuff works

    but there do seem to be some roads to go down from here on out

    and they sure beat throwing your hands up in the air and saying its over

    or relying on the silent majority of "reasonable" gamers to stop being silent

    4chan, do you want the NSA?

    Because this is how you get the NSA.

    i don't know the american legal system but presumably that means someone might actually go to literal jail over this

    like, that's a crime. theft is a crime. what kind of sentence do you get for hacking someone's bank accounts? i appreciate the difficulty involved in tracking them down but i assume the police have, like, some kind of mechanism for it, it's not like they just throw up their hands and go "welp, can't enforce that"

    getting a large gaming corporation to care about this would probably be the way to go

    step 1 is places like ign and polygon and gamespot need to be writing about it on their front pages

    oh hey there's finally a decent attempt at working through the last puzzle in PT instead of just brute forcing it. Translation, code-breaking, the works.

    definitely some leaps in logic I would not have made, but apparently this produces consistent results!

    Honestly?

    It's usually insured, and unless it's a huge thing like them hacking a bunch of corporations or something, chances are nobody is going to investigate too deeply into it.

    There are certainly talented organizations and people to investigate hackers but they are probably used primarily for, well, the bigger fish in the sea

    For all their posturing, 4chan and anonymous are likely seen as children having tantrums in the smallest room of a very big house
