what time do australian cops call it quits and go home?
As I edited in, the companies threaten a lawsuit and Twitter will likely acquiesce with little resistance.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Who's to say that Dae guy doesn't have a failsafe?
He's can't be incompetent enough to not foresee twitter bending (chirping? sing like a mocking bird; do mocking birds sing?) under pressure.

His greatest act of brilliance was somehow convincing people that he is somehow not an idiot.

If it was a planned arrest, I'd think they would do it before 5pm. Obviously there are cops "working" around the clock, but I imagine there would be paper to file and information to enter relating to his arrest. That's the kind of stuff they would rather do in the day.
For some reason this question made me laugh harder than I should this time of night.
For what its worth, the hacks of Epic don't surprise me in the slightest. I've seen plenty of evidence, in the form of dozens of builds from every Gears of War game, plus unreleased titles. There is a reason why I usually don't cover unreleased and beta versions of current generation stuff on my site, and the hacking that goes on plays a large part.
He implied two hours ago that he has a plan if that happens.

I'm dying to see and hear about what he has but I have a feeling it's a bluff, that or he just won't be arrested. Either way I bet we don't get anything.

No SuperDae, no. You didn't read Watchmen.

I was feeling malevoluous for thinking the same... Not anymore! It must be general.

Alright Kenjisalk, I guess that means there's another thread outside of Twitter that can be pulled.

Most big companies have dark secrets in my opinion. It really could get worse, if he's telling the truth.
You made my day. Thank you.

Everyone, sometime, have a dark secret... Let alone secrets. In business that can be the difference between success and failure. This case is just stupid but I'm here to see what's going to happen and "have fun".
Only thing I could think of is some downplayed hack. Or maybe some future price hike on unsuspecting customers. That or unflattering e-mails that make for bad PR. Another red-ring like fiasco? Only horrible things I can think of.
Just revealing their future plans isn't that big a deal is it?

Forgive me as I am assuming that there is no information of actual law breaking or intent to break the law. Such a thing would of course lead to the Xbone jumping the tracks as well as many people standing before a federal tribunal of some sort.
But to counter you impugning my sense of justice, my assumption is based on the notion that anyone discovering such a plot would attempt to release that information to the public. As that has not been done, I see two options; a) MS has no dirty laundry of that magnitude involved here or, b) SuperDAE is a disgusting human being for keeping this kind of thing under wraps. Are both options possible? Sure, maybe even both are true to an extent, but I assume SuperDAE, or anyone with any kind of conscience, would have tried to leak info like that already if it existed. Ergo, I'm thinking nothing more than behind the scenes discussions about the Xbone that make MS look worse.
Now can I please have my crest back?
Wait you have Kangaroo cops over there? Cool.
for this kind of thing? 4pm to get in before the booking and service officers go home at 5pm.
Just FYI, we have three to five different time zones depending on Daylight Savings. Seems like SuperDaE is in Perth, so there is a two hour difference between Perth and Melb/Syd.

He also said that Remedy's next game wasn't Alan Wake but an untitled shooter. No one believed him, but it seems like he were right.

Dude is such an attention whore.
Police don't usually arrest this kind of target on a broad daylight unless they have information that target is about to run away soon. They normally do the sting really late at night when they know the target is at home sleeping and unaware. It minimizes the chance of target running away. This is how they catch illegal immigrants and those who are suspected of major criminal activities.
Damn. MS must have some juicy leaks.
His bail was granted. So I guess no leaks

"The FBI is planning to arrest me? Surely childish, public blackmail will thwart one of the world's most brilliant police agencies and set them in their place!"
Call me morbid, but I actually want this guy in prison, just to get him to shut up and stop stroking his ego. This isn't even about the leaks. I just don't like the guy.

That's not a good sign for gamers. Though happy it worked out for him.

you want a guy in prison because you don't like him?
Good for him I guess.His bail was granted. So I guess no leaks
It's not like this guy is facing off against Batman.

No, I want him in prison because, you know, he committed a crime.
Well, if nothing happens in the next couple of hours then it looks like his plan worked. The police are probably shitting in their pants thinking about what would have happened had they apprehended him.
Edit: I just had an idea: we could have australia gaf kidnap him just until the thing leaks. Anybody willing to go to prison for this? They will surely let you off easy given the circumstances.
