whos to say he is risking his IP? you think its hard to spoof an IP? regardless if he has a few millions, wether its SEK or EUR or USD, lawyers are fucking expensive. if someone took him to court he still would have been bled dry by his lawyer if he chose to be represented by an expensive/good one. just give us his info so we can sue him, dont worry about the rest mate we'll take care of it.
@Doyouevenlift has enough $ to start a legal case against him.
CONTACT A LAWYER FOR RELIABLE ADVICE, I AM JUST A RANDOM ANON ON TEH INTERWEBZ, BUT HERE'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ON THE ISSUE
TL;DR
Contact the police if you suspect you are the victim of a crime.
If you are an EU citizen, you might be the victim of a crime, because all EU states are required to criminalize illegal access to information systems due to
EU-regulations, see article 3. So this could be a
criminal case. Lawyers are usually free in such cases. Also, it costs nothing to initiate a criminal lawsuit. The victim is nothing but proof in the eyes of the court. And it might be possible to get conclusive evidence without any witnesses at all. Criminal cases are crimes against the state, not against the person. So it all boils down to whether Retrocore have stolen data. In case you suspect you are the victim of a crime you should contact the police.
Then there's the secondary question whether there has been a breach of privacy. For EU citizens this might be a breach of GDPR in case any private data have been wrongly handeled, but you would need
proof for such an accusation and such proof has not been shown in this thread. Proof is not the same as conclusive evidence. If you have enough to raise a serious suspicion of wrongdoing, that should be enough. One way to get enough for a complaint would be to contact Retrocore staff and ask them to send all the private information they have on you personally. If they refuse, or seem to be hiding things from you, then report them.
This would be something to report to EU authorities or your local authorities which are responsible for handling privacy related stuff. This authority is
Integritetsskydsmyndigheten in Sweden, I have no idea about other EU-states but they are all required to have efficient infrastructure to handle these situations, so you can use google and find how to proceed with your complaints.
Lastly, if you have a purely private complaint about breach of contract there is a high risk of it being very expensive. But that's also a completely different question than data theft, and it would be different for every single one of the players on this server. That is, unless you would gather together and do a.. class action lawsuit, or whatever it is called in your jurisdiction. In Sweden it is called grupptalan, or grupprättegång, which is also harmonized within the EU, which means that a group of EU consumers (in this case players) could band togeather and pursue a common lawsuit against a company. There are private lawfirms that might be interested in this. But it might be expensive, I don't know. Probably won't happen anyway because it's difficult to organize.
