Anyone know what she did?
Scamming people into investing in an early access game with no intent of finishing it.
ahem...
Just to be clear, I'm jokingThey seem to allude to a violent crime, as they said they "were a different more violent person in the past."
Further clarification from Steam :
She's right, this is not really anyone's business.
Well no sex crime was kinda obvious. But just because its not a sex crime doesn't mean its not a violent crime. Obviously not murder because 3 years for a murder would be crazy, but I was originally assuming some kind of physical assault or battery (possibly domestic violence), or something like serious injury while committing a crime / brandishing or discharging a weapon while committing a crime, such as armed robbery where someone got hurt.
It is strange that they claim to be a different person but they never turned themselves in or plead guilty or anything I guess? Like, I feel like a person who has decided to change would get that cleared up expeditiously, probably courts might be more lenient with the sentencing in that case.
"It isn't anyone's business," but I mean, they are talking about it more. And there is a media outlet (admittedly Kotaku, lol) making an article about it. If it was a crime committed in the USA, thats public information, as is the court proceeding so if anyone knew them or wanted to know, they could legally get that information regardless. Seems like the developer should just not say anything and/or contact a lawyer for a public statement about it.
People are going to be curious. People are going to speculate. Thats how people work. Its going to come out at some point, there is no reason to try to obscure it now. If they really are different then they go in, serve their time, probably get out early on good behaviour, and everything goes back to the way it was more or less. Can't change what happened now.
No.
I only clicked the article to find that out and it wasn't included. Annoying.
