For all of you people that are discussing this retarded topic and who are all quick to defend this 'innocent' little child.
Number one: Kid is too -blam!-ing young to be playing destiny.
Number two: Kid thought he was going to get away with cheating.
Number three: Kid was going to violate terms and cheat the system.
Number four: Your not innocent just because your a young kid.
You guys need to look at the facts before you assume that Kermit is the bad guy here. Tbh, id do the same -blam!-ing thing Kermit did. Guess what, not only did it teach the little kid a life lesson that if you cheat on ANYTHING there WILL be consequences. And some sense of -blam!-ing morality.
Thank you, had to get this off my chest.
Edit 1: yall so salty lmao
Edit 2: were trending now ;)
Edit 3 (Important): people listen please, this thread was simply so I could let people know that there is good to be taken from this situation. Kermit may be an asshole and may have no sense of morals. But this young kid can really take a life lesson from this. If you need the lesson to be explained then hats your problem. Before you try to discourage me and insult me and Kermit right away. Think about it please. I'm not trying to offend anyone. And I'm open to respond to valid arguments.

To those saying "[i]The kid wasn't hacked.. he willingly gave that guy Kirmit access to his console. That's not hacking.[/i]" You obviously have no idea what hacking really is and clearly have never heard of social engineering which is in fact a form of hacking. Ever hear of a guy named Kevin Mitnick? Social Engineering was one of the primary tools he used to convince people to give him their credentials which he later used to illegally gain access to private computers and networks and Kevin was arrested and served time in prison. Kevin didn't steal any passwords or usernames. He merely convinced people by deceiving into thinking he was an employee of the same company they worked for. This is essentially the same tactic this guy KirmitTHEfrog used to gain access to not just that one kids console but also another players console a few months prior. So yes, that Kirmit guy DID in fact hack into the kids console which I am sure is in violation of Sony's terms of service for PSN.

"Send them home crying!"

Kermit also broke the rules by deceiving someone with malicious intent to sabotage their account.
-
Please stop with these threads
-
So Kermit was showing morality? Tutoring the kid to teach him a lesson? Huh, wtf planet are you from?
-
Id do same thing too haha but tired of seeing it now
-
Who cares? Stop talking about it.

[quote]Look, the kid wasn't 'trying to do something wrong', he was trying to look cool on his stream by hanging out with older people and showing off a glitch like lots of other 'streamers' do. There is no moral ambiguity here. There is no 'deserving it'. What the kid did was immature, childish but utterly harmless. And if you're not allowed to be immature and childish as an 11 year old child I'm not sure when you're allowed to be. Set against a malicious act by a grown man (23 years old) to upset a kid profoundly to make himself feel better. It's literally pathetic. And no its not the end of the world for the kid, but it's basically like taking a kids favorite toy, and then saying you'll make it better, then smashing it in front of him. The world has enough legitimate cruelty and shit in it without us just -blam!-ing ourselves over for the sake of it.[/quote]

Kid was scammed into thinking he could cheat. We all know you cannot cheat Destiny only cheese and grind.
-
The situation is this, an adult took advantage of a kid regardless of what's behind Games are games, not really important, if you or someone gets them for you, you can do whatever you want with them, you do live in a free country, don't you?

Kermit is the REAL MVP

Edited by smizdeazy: 2/20/2015 4:09:16 PMHow is he to young to be playing destiny!?? You are not his parents. They can decide what is appropriate for him not you. Yes he cannot purchase an M game himself, but his parents can if they so choose. My parents took me to see a couple of R rated movies(parent or guardian required for admission) when i was younger. You are not his parents so that part of the argument is bullshit and not for you to decide!!!

Edited by zeboule: 2/20/2015 1:30:07 PMI read your comment and all I could see was "kid" And if you're attaching way too much importance to glitching in a game. Using words like sense of morale and life lesson, punishing a KID for trying to glitch in a game... Ur value scale is way off imho

Sam legacy spam, then Pluto guy spam now this kid got trolled spam , next its gonna be Obama plays Destiny spam lol
-

-

Number one it isn't for any player to decide wether or not someone keeps or loses anything Number two the game is rated teen but it hardly does anything to deserve that rating. Perhaps frightening images but there aren't any inappropriate words or violent scenes. Number three the kid got his just desserts, but the asshole who deleted his characters and weapon had no right to do so.

Its better now than when he turns 18, opens spam mail..."OMG i won a cruise?!? Just gotta confirm credit card i never used on website not in english? Seems legit..."

What Kermit did is wrong, but I'm sick of people defending the kid.
