    Mixed feelings on these hacks. Obviously the people that do them suck. But at the same time, props to insomniac for not paying them.

    These hacks also usually drum up hype or notoriety of the game for free which I’m sure is offset by the cost of new security, but still. And assets and other stolen data will be hard to reuse and the code and pre-release build are all pretty useless since no serious dev will ever use that stuff. So unless there’s something im missing, they’ll be fine. My main concern would be protecting the personal data of employees and account data.

      This is to showcase what they have to encourage them to pay up, but yeah I agree. All I’m thinking is it looks fun and it’s not even a legitimate teaser.
