Fifty days of 'lulz' over: LulzSec disbands

@tk421242

Or people who want SWG so badly should go play it and support the game. If there were enough players, the game wouldn't be shutting down.

@Jade Effect
it has nothing to do with the player count for SWG.. its all about lucasarts saying we dont want two competiting titles in the same genre and your contract ends begining of this year so were not extending your licence, sorry.

@Skyydragonn yeah you've nailed it. That's exactly what's going on here. Sony has supported less popular MMOs and they were avidly supporting this one (adding new content and the like)

@keinohr

Quite possibly. Typically the loudest and most obnoxious voices are reduced to being meek and pathetic once their anonymity safety blanket is taken away. Odds are they will probably get away, but if they are caught I hope hey get a cell with a nice big overly "friendly" guy.

Wishing prison rape on anyone marks you as the lowest of the low.

"but the intent of it, that people who have intentionally wronged innocents should themselves be punished was not. "

And the punishment is being imprisoned.

My objection has nothing to do with sympathy for LulzSec. It is the fact that "cruel and unusual punishment" is generally regarded as unacceptable behaviour yet so many people (particularly Americans) think extra-judicial rape is perfectly fine and even funny.

But hey I bet you are a stand up guy who knows all the details of laws that could send you to prison (Hint: In the US no one even knows the exact count, at the Federal level alone there are about 5,000 criminal offences) and so you have nothing to worry about.

Agh!...someone got downgraded for speaking against rape. You guys are real "special" bunch...

...now excuse me while I go and thow up.

@Utakata

@(Unverified) said the person posting as (unverified) lol.

You're as anonymous as they are.

@Azules

Heh... fair enough, though I'm unverified not by choice! Blame Joystiq's funky system..MAYBE one of these Months my verification will actually go into effect..... maybe..... :(

Well, it's very possible that they could have planned it out this way so that they could raise interest amongst other hackers or whatnot and go back to being random anonymous Internet users before they risked being found out.

Or this has all just been one big game to them and they're just trying to see how much rage/chaos they can spread. *shrug* It's very easy for people to lie over the Internet of course.

@AnotherPint we just can't comprehend how brilliant these guys are. It was so brilliant, in fact, that literally no one on the planet understands the point they made. (I am joking btw, I think they're annoying adolescents with something to prove)
