Gaming Others Starfield leaker arrested for allegedly stealing review copies and streaming gameplay

[SylverReZ]

Roughly 40 minutes of gameplay for Bethesda's Starfield got leaked online, which resulted in Microsoft and Bethesda to respond quickly and take down any video uploads posted to YouTube amongst other social media platforms. The individual responsible for the leak, identified as Darin Harris, was found to be selling physical copies of Starfield for roughly around $200 using the online Japanese marketplace Mercadi. He then went onto TikTok to film himself, holding what appears to be packages awaiting to be shipped via FedEx to customers, as well as paying postage for the items.

Harris not only doxed himself throughout the whole operation, but authorities managed to arrest Harris and detain him at the Shelby County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Office, charging him with a felon of $2,500 – $10,000 worth of stolen goods.

I'm sorry what they've done was extremely dumb of them to do that. At least they were essentially pirating the game but livestreaming it doxxing yourself in the proccess is what shot your foot lmao

This is all to common at this point. It is literally a trend online to break the law.

Leaking the game as in showing videos, pictures etc. isn't the issue. It was drug possession and stealing from his work and selling these games.

drug possession

LMAO, apparently weed is still illegal in Tennessee even in the year of our lord 2023. They're missing out on those sweet Mary Jan taxes.

Also dude has been stealing stuff from his work place's warehouse for awhile. Not to mention he's a fraking idiot in general.

 

[linuxares]

yeah it's surprising but I guess Tennessee is extremely conservative or something

People will do anything for their 1 moment of fame. Even if it means getting arrested.

You had teens on TikTok stealing road signs and soap dispensers of all sorts. Gen Z is the dumbest of the dumb.

I hate how I'm apart of this generation, but thankfully I don't use Tiktok, or follow any of what those idiots are doing.

Me neither. TikTok has brainwashed an entire community to doing really dumb things, and that they're not realising the serious impact it can have on other people's lives.

Yeah; don't forget ruining people's attention spans. Maybe that's why people don't watch long commentaries these days anymore... I watch them cause they're entertaining and they give more information about a topic that people would usually rush to know about. or something idk

China has always remained a communist country, they even serve the death sentence if they're following western media or K-POP.
