I don't see anyone simping for corporations, just not rushing to celebrate or defend someone so obviously unhinged.
Also, the point is not to get caught, and he's extremely brazen about it even when directly under police watch.
There are plenty of other black hats out there that don't act like this. No one is shaking a finger at them. By all means, crack these corporations wide open.
But this guy in particular is not worth raising up.
Can you elaborate more? What are "corporate simps" saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he's mentally unwell, shouldn't people be supporting efforts for his recovery?
Are they not?
Being sent to a prison hospital, which isn't great but it's better than the alternative isn't it? Some people keep saying that maybe he should be given a job with the CIA or something, and maybe he would have been, but given the fact that he doesn't seem stable enough to take an olive branch when it's offered I don't really think there's much future for him.
I admit I hadn't read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn't mean to imply that autism is something that requires "recovery." It's just the way people describe Kurtaj... like he's some kind of mad super villain. He's violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there's something fishy going on here.
