>>736784064can they hack cockstar and just straight up delete everything to do with gta6? that would be pretty funnny
Complex systems won’t survive the competency crisis
>>736784064Maybe if Rockstar hired more specialists from Bombay they could avoid this situation.
>>736784064Have they firmly locked up KWABOTY?
Will any good source codes and leaked content come from this?
>>736784064I hope they delete the source code. I don't see how anyone would interested in a real life sime compared to say a high fantasy game with orcs and dragons.
Just release the leaks, jeets only accept feces as a form of payment
>>736784064Does anybody else think that Rockstar "hack" and "leak" the news about it themselves just to have an excuse to delay the game again?
>>736784064Good, fuck those kikes. These hackers are doing God's work
>>736784064>the potential exposure includes financial records from GTA Online and Red Dead Online, player spending and geographic data, marketing timelines, and contracts with Sony, Microsoft, voice actors, and music labels.Do these mega companies really cram all their billion eggs in just one basket and wire everything neatly together?
>>736784356It's possible, whether this leak is actually true or not, i.e. a made up lie to justify another delay
>>736784356>just to have an excuse to delay the game again?they dont have to excuse themselves for shit lmao. Also, how would it delay the game idiot?
ok, show us something useful or fake and homosexual
>>736784064>Anodot is an AI analytics platform. >Companies use it to track cloud costs and catch spending anomalies.Why? Cloud providers already provide a shitton of tools to help companies manage their costs, you don't need some third party to come in with some bullshit AI analytics serviceEven if you did, surely giving the IAM user for the AI service access to your cloud control panel so it can monitor spending does not mean giving it the keys to actually connect to the cloud servers themselvesHow does this even happen? Someone somewhere must have colossally fucked up, whether it's the IAM permissions or key rotation or the entire security architecture>>736784452Typically most of that sort of shit will either sit on internal, on-premise network fileshares (the old school approach) or dedicated document repository systems which would have their own user access management regime and certainly would not be accessible by external cloud cost analytics platformsThat said, it wouldn't surprise me if, in this age of big data and AI, more companies are just chucking literally everything they have into these big messy unsecured data lakes so they can "drive business insights" or whatever fucking snake oil the suits are huffing
>>736784703>how would it delayIt interferes with the workflow I'd imagine.
>>736784064>Anodot is an AI analytics platformThere it is, how are rich people this fucking retarded.
>>736784703If they're demanding a ransom that suggests they've performed a ransomware attack which means they've encrypted Rockstar's data and are trying to get Rockstar to pay for the decryption keysDepending on what data got hit this could very easily stop them from working on the game
it's an AI generated "article" you dumb nigs
I feel this whole GTA6 is just a scheme to have investors keep buying 2K stocks and someone at the top will sell their shit, profit bigly, when the game is close to release.
>>736784125They probably got that shit uploaded to some cloud storage and aren't reliant on such a simple weakness. You can't just wipe that shit clean lol. They might be incompetent but not THAT incompetent.
>>736784064>using AIdeserved
>>736784283>financial records from GTA Online and Red Dead Online, player spending and geographic data, marketing timelines, and contracts with Sony, Microsoft, voice actors, and music labels.No, not really
>>736784064I wonder what went wrong...
>>736784356for sure. rockstar just went out of its way to excuse itself in front of you for delaying the game. who the fuck do you think you are, you schizophrenic incel?
>>736784064>GTA VI is arguably the most anticipated game release in years.ROFLOL
>>736784064The first "sextuple a" game got shat on because they, like all corpotards, relied on AI.Theyll recover, but it's funny
>>736784194We're already seeing the effects of this at companies like Microsoft where they eliminated key engineering positions 15 years ago and then all the engineers who had to be shuffled around in different positions to keep a job finally left the company in disgust 8~ years ago. The result is a massive skills gap and nobody having the competency or experience to do anything except put out fires and apply "quick fixes" that create more problems than they solve. See: windows 11 and Azure production issues since 2020.
>>736784929>If they're demanding a ransom that suggests they've performed a ransomware attackNo that's not what that means. They stole valuable, confidential data that Rockstar would presumably not want to be posted to the general public, or sold on the dark web to the highest bidder, depending on the type of info they have. The ransom is essentially extortion to not release the data. Of course, it's unlikely the hackers will delete it, and will simply continue to extort Rockstar indefinitely. From a business perspective, a company like Rockstar will simply write off the exposure of company secrets as a loss, rather than enter in a never-ending extortion deal with criminals who have no reason to ever stop exploiting the company. That presumes that Rockstar legitimately has nothing to hide (in criminal terms) and can recover from having their company secrets exposed. There are a few companies who would pay bribes to these hackers for years to prevent that, because being exposed would lead to prison sentences for key people.
Rockstar will send an army of glowies after them and crush their organization
>>736784064I have no idea what any of this means wtf is a cloud why dont they just build their own system on site they have money and avoid this
GOOD SHIT FUCK ROCKSTAR WHY ANNOUNCE HTE GAME IN 2022 AND RELEASE ONLY 2 TRAILES DELAY GAMES INDEFINITELY AND WHY THE FUCK DID THEY MAKE US WAIT FOR A NEW GTA SINCE 2013 FUCK YOU ROCKSTAR YOU DESERVE IT YOU GREEDY JEWISH FUCKING RATS.RELEASE TRAILER SCHEDULERELEASE THE FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>736785042>They might be incompetent but not THAT incompetent.never underestimate corporate incompetence
>>736784064>Snowflake environmentkek
I hope they take the money then release the info anyway.
>>736785229Most of Rockstar game hype has been artificially inflated because the poor suckers who look forward to their games don't know the company has been truly shit since 2018, if we were ever going to have a chance of seeing good cultural satire again then it's gone. Although some could have guessed by RDR2 already.
Drop trailer 3 scheduledrop information about the game itself, i dont give a shit about employees or player data, I care about the game...
>>736784125Do you think they don't have a bazilions of backups?
>>736786501>eradicating bullying, crunch, and toxic environment is somehow badwhy you chuds so retarded?
>>736786554If you don't insult the retards then they will act retarded because they think it's fine. It's like how telling someone they're dressed like a slob when they come to work with wrinkled clothes and smelling of BO.
>>736786137It's not hard backing shit up to a bunch of free mediafire accounts.
>>736784064>Rockstar’s Snowflake instances
>>736785042Have you played RDR2?
>>736784064>>Anodot is an AI analytics platform.>>Companies use it to track cloud costs and catch spending anomaliesWhat exactly does it mean?
>>736786594Wht are you hiring retards
>>736787014A lot of companies hire trannies, eternal frat boys and feminists.
>>736785398big companies like rockstar and nintendo can just enslave people and get away with it, nice nigger world we live in
>>736784064another W for AIbrosline goes up, to the moon
>They’ve set a ransom deadline of April 14.What? do they want money or something?
>>736787190no, they want lots of huggies and kissies from the Rockstar CEO >.<
>>736784064>mostly indians working at this company nowyou shouldn't be surprised at all, GTA 6 will be an absolute disaster but you aren't ready for this conversation yet
>>736787246And people still defend Indians? Subhumans speedrunning west's collapse.
>>736787190Da copywrights to GeeTeeAie
>>736786659>Uncompressed GTA6 data must be hovering on the dozens if not hundreds of terabytes by nowShut up.
>>736784329>High faggotryYou retards need to off right now.
>>736784890Cutting costs makes them more rich.
>>736784329>with orcs and dragons.Ah yes, Tolkien slop #55437 is so interesting. Fantasy is for brainless npcs.
>>736786554>bullying>toxic environment99% chance they mean "no HR that arbitrates social disagreements end enforces a strict feminized behavioral code that quashes male social interaction"
>>736786501I’ve been on here since like 2011 and I still don’t know what Shazam posting means lol
>>736786554>eliminating crunch>somehow bad>somehowThe greatest games of all time were made by classroom-sized groups of twenty-something nerds who slept under their desks and ate nothing but delivered pizzas for months on end to meet the most absurd deadlines known to man for a fraction of the check that the average Rockstar programmer is given for doing less than a quarter of the work. Games have only ever been made better by crunch.
>>736789147>to meet the most absurd deadlines known to manDeadlines are a Jewish invention made to satisfy "investors"None of this existed back in the dayGame developers roamed free in the prairies and released games as they pleased, whenever they felt nature's calling
>>736789279Just false, read about the development of any of the great CRPGs of the 90s and early 00s and you'll find I'm right. It was just as bad in Japan, in some cases.
I blame rockstars IT departement
>no softwarewho cares lol
This game is going to so awful. No game with an insane development time is ever good. Name one. You can't.
>>736789147and if the devs dont like it they can always get a job in a different industry with better pay and better circumstances. I really dont understand where they got this sense of entitlement where they think they can come into an established studio with a rich history, culture and decades long traditions, and immediately have a say on how things should be and where the company should go.Same thing happened at Respawn. A bunch of new hires who never worked there before 2020 suddenly have a say over COD and Titanfall veterans who built the studio.Or maybe its just the jews infiltrating and ruining it on purpose.
>>736784064I hope they upload some new leak videos of 6
>>736789746imagine they leak a playable beta build
>look at this multi million dollar company getting hacked time after time without being able to do much about it>but you have to hold all your sensitive data on public servers>don't worry it's to protect children nothing will happen>you want to protect children don't you?
Duke Nukem Forever
>>736789443>thanks to indian talent hacking isn't some autismo prodigy finding arbitrary code execution via .bmp or .pdf attachment exploit but any guy offering an indian codemonkey 300 dollars worth of google play cards (will make him the 3rd richest man in his village of mumbai, giving him unfathomable levels of izzat) and a 3 GB archive of his favorite onlyfans girls, the most butiful yes.
>>736789771that image actually sent a shiver down my spine wtf
I mean it's not that big of a deal that what and how much they're spending on cloud resources becomes public, I wouldn't pay a ransom for that. The token they got probably can just see some read only finops table
>>736789147That's not even true. humans become vastly more inefficient by working all the time and working too much. Too little sleep means you become fucking retarded. This also causes all the skilled devs to leave and all you're left with is new people you crunch to death.
>>736789989Other Anons were also spooked enough to tell me the pic spooked them. Weird.
>>736784064Nothingburger, still no gameplay or build
>>736790138anon what did you do to my soul...I think you corrupted me with that cursed image....
>Literally says the only thing comprised is financial records and spending numbers>”hurr will they delete the game?”>”hurr more leaked source code and videos?”>”hurrr DELAY?”why is this board so fucking stupid
>>736790035what you're saying is true but also kinda irrelevant because you're assuming people's well being is a priority. If you want to maintain a good team of people in the long term then yeah it's not sustainable to be redlining it all the time BUT there is a certain kind of magic that happens when a group of people dedicate everything they have into their work
>>736790335sybau
>>736790349>BUT there is a certain kind of magic that happens when a group of people dedicate everything they have into their workAnd last time Rockstar released a good game was in... 2004
>>736789771Omg so super spooky
>>736788054Yea spics stealing cars and shooting cops is so much smarter
>>736789689GTA VI will break sales records and sell a gorillian copies.It will also be so bad that it permanently changes the industry landscape and forces a discussion on the blatant decline in quality we all know is going on but refuse to actually address meaningfully.
>>736791095it's literally going to be roblox for adults with their custom mod engine releasing along side VI
>>736791091A. Not a single GTA protagonist is Latino, you culturless swine.B. When the plot explores the psychology of a criminal and the complex drama that it causes, it absolutely is smarter than pulling mysticbabble out of your ass about Gingledüüf of Cuntinia and his Riders of Roshambo loving each other enough to resist the vague forces of the evil Krondor.
>>736791207You really think they are stupid enough to give up Shark Card milking like that?How fucking dumb are you?
>>736791391>Not a single GTA protagonist is LatinoThe next one is
>>736791436use your brain little ladGTA VI will have shark cards 2.0If you look into FiveM, regular players are making 500k a month selling premium server access & custom chain/car/clothing assetsnow imagine rockstar doing that on a global scale and now every player can take their paid for custom assets into any custom server just like roblox, it's going to be a billion dollar printing machine.
>>736784064wouldn't be surprised if it's because of shiteater high caste indians falling for "i sent you bobs saar pls reply" again
>>736791391Criminals aren't interesting unless they're rebels fighting a corrupt system, in GTA they're just lowlife scum trying to make money through violence and theft. The real appeal isn't even the story, it's to have a realistic sandbox where you can live out your depraved criminal fantasies and niggerwoship. I'll take knights fighting dragons over that any day.
>>736784064>hire jeets>get hacked and scammed over and overhuh, I wonder....
>>736792497It was an 3rd party they were using that got hacked. Why can't this board read?
>>736793234>an 3rd partyGood morning saar
>>736784064Good! Just nuke all the GTA6 files and inject malware any tries to copy remaining files.
