How about we tell some big gaming news networks of this? The way Rockstar and most importantly T2 handled this is completely disgusting and unprofessional. Especially considering that when actual leakers in this community get a notice to stop instead of a 50k lawsuit.

They handled this as they are supposed to as a company. It's their IP, it's their build, they have 100% free reign to do this with stolen property. You must play their rules, or they just ruin you, they don't need to reply just make the promise that if you cont the hammer drops

Um, you don't know the full story therefore you can't really say that they did it "fine". The property wasn't stolen or something. That console was legally bought from somewhere. You can literally buy a devkit even today, just look at eBay lots.

Which is stolen property. Ive been dealing with kits and debug builds of games for over 10 years now. All development units that are purchased MUST be returned to the platform owner. Selling kits, that are still MS/Sony/Nitty property is still wrong, and they have legal rights

I can be wrong, but as far as I heard, if the developer goes bankruptcy, the contract between them and console owner doesn't have a legal force anymore. I also heard that if someone gives this stuff to recyclers, then the contract also looses its legal force.

So the units even if the company goes under should be returned (they aren't in most cases) but as Sony showed with the pro devkit that was sold as auction, it's their property, they can reclaim it at any point. Recycling they are marked to be destroyed, and if not should go back
