@Spiders This is not like people casually spreading things by talking to each other on social media, this is employees at a company entrusted with creating official products for upcoming games deliberately photographing and leaking sensitive, secret stuff about the unreleased game. They had to sign NDAs they knew this was both serious and illegal.
@Kid_Sickarus I didn't say ruined lives for all offences but it's up to people to consider the consequences before breaking the law. Punishments are designed to deter people from committing the offence, they aren't some kind of manageable cost.
People here saying the fine is too harsh and is life ruining... Smh. Should we have to make sure that people can comfortably break the law without it running their life?
I bet they still won't have fixed the cv1 rom. (they included the very first version of the rom which crashes in certain situations involving too many sprites).
I had a really good job in 1999 to 2001 and I bought an absolute ton of pc games from what was a golden age of pc gaming. The boxes back then were really wasteful : big ass boxes that usually just had a cardboard insert with a normal sized CD case in and an instruction booklet. It was part the era of massive spiral bound manuals in the box by that point I think. Anyway, I dumped all the boxes to save space and of course now the fans are worth tons more with them. As someone said though they are worth that precisely because most people did what I did. Also I am scared of selling games and getting ripped off anyway eg on ebay.
