I reached deep, but can’t bring myself to give a dang about this.

now it’ll be difficult to take the game seriously

See, this is why I liked the third Saint’s Row game; it didn’t take itself seriously and it knew it. It also uses a color palette with more than just brown in it.

As if it really needed to be pointed out, @dnealy, Mafioso and cartels aren’t really cool crime syndicates and neither are black hat hackers. It’s all part of the same abusive grift and misogynistic behavior of men backed by the constant threat of violence.
Even though they’re tied up in capitalism like so many other companies, I’m kind of siding with Rockstar on this one, but still demand they clean things up on their end, like paying programmers a decent wage and reducing the amount of crunch time to meet deadlines.

Is the hacker at a 4-star or 5-star wanted level?

As someone who spent Halloween 2013 in the hospital because I got jumped by aspiring gang bangers, I know first hand that criminals are a vicious unsavory lot. I despise organized crime in the real world. I was just making a silly post. There’s no morality attached to it at all.

I imagine it’s because they are a game designer and not gangsters.
