If your account is older than 6 months it's dead, along with its games.

Sure, but he shoots it when it's less than 6 months?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah you're right, that's what the image shows. But I think they were going for aiming at less than 6, shot dead at more than 6.

Wait what!? That can't be legal

It isn’t, but don’t fret… there will be a huge lawsuit, they’ll settle for a few hundred million, which will roughly be less than 2% of what the company made. The lawyers suing will get their >75% cut and we all will get our .67¢ checks. /sarcasm

Capitalism sucks a huge bag of dicks.

I know this is generally the case, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol

Legal =/= lawful. It's possible to get away with things that are unlwaful, because they require civil lawsuits to prove and resolve, while things that are illegal are criminally charged automatically (at least in theory).
