First time I heard that value was in cardinalbird5's video about this topic.

So hypothetically it could be 100, or 1,000,000?

That's a huge piece of the puzzle IMO. Would be nice to get clarification.

That's just wildly untrue.

Innocent people are prosecuted all the time. Innocent people are convicted all the time. Attorneys prosecute people that they don't believe are guilty, because getting a conviction is more valuable than accurately catching criminals.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go to work tomorrow and let everyone know we've been doing it wrong.


Just was pointing out your analogy was both silly and impossible.

I completely agree with the point you were trying to make but it made no sense.


Not going to talk about banking in this thread though, if you wish feel free to PM me.

No, it's theft. If people were using an exploit to score more runs in the game, your point would be valid (though perhaps somewhat facile).

This is a digital good that is sold for real money. "It's only a game" may help you sleep at night, but it is no less theft than pirating a copy of a game is.

What's going on here is more akin to counting cards at a casino. They ask you to leave.
They don't have you arrested. The Sony stance is the same, by banning, they say you are not welcome here any longer. If Sony isn't pressing charges for theft, then shame on them for letting crooks run free.

Not that anyone cares, but here's my opinion. I have not been banned on either of my accounts(haven't played much as I got back into NBA2K during the playoffs).
I find the banning of players whether guilty or innocent a little harsh, and here is my reasoning. I understand that this is was an exploit and people gained something from nothing, however many of the people here who claim the bans were appropriate also benefitted last year during the stubs fairy debacle(I did too), I find it hypocritical. For everyone who are making the analogy of this to any fiduciary proceeding you forget one thing, you have the opportunity for an appeals process with a mediator. This process seems to be without any recourse for those accused and I cannot stand behind that at all.
