Wouldn't be surprised if this 38 yo guy is going to be getting his PSN mgs inbox spammed.
He handled that surprisingly well when he joined the party again.
Yeah, I was surprised by that! But I guess he thought only his weapon was dismantled, bet his heart fucking sunk when he got to the character select screen to see the real damage. I was expecting the crying to intensify!
This makes me mad beyond belief. That guy who did that needs to be banned and have his account deleted from Destiny.
Have you got quotes and links to what you're referring to exactly?Some of you guys are saying no sympathy, but no glitching or cheating EVER took place.
Secondly, I doubt any of you looked on Reddit, the guy apparently had some really rude comments, and lord forbid you look at his post history...
I think this would be going a bit overboard.
Huge thread...can anybody summarize it?
Is Sony/Bungie doing anything for the victim? Are they punishing the guy who did this?
I don't think they should do either. It's not their responsibility.
There is no password protection like verifying with an email address before deletion?
I can see changes coming up for share play... Joy
Well, yeah, but thats obvious. But still you should be able to take back control instantly which this feature anyway.

as a father of a gamer-
One big point people are missing. This could have been much much worse.
Here we have an 11yr old online with a stranger giving them access to control his PS3.
imagine if this was on a family computer. Or worse.. The guy talked the kid into meeting him IRL.
again, this could have been much worse and actually tragic.
The loss of a videogame save is IMO the safest way this kid could learn a lesson.
It is also a wake up call to his parents.
Trying to find the silver lining here.
The 38yr old still needs a smackdown.
Update: The young gamer pictured in the heartbreaking video below is named Henry, a fifth-grade Destiny fan whose progress was wiped out by a stranger on the internet. He and his mother reached out to us to share some thoughts about the experience.
Henry's mother tells us that one of the members of the young man's clan invited KirmitTHEfrog and another person into a party. They played together for a while, and it was after earning his trust on February 13, that the events of the video below unfolded.
"As you can see in the video, Henry was devastated, so since the piece was recorded, I uploaded it to my YouTube account since its the adult account associated with his PS4 account Henry is in 5th grade," his mother, Courtney Kramer tells us. "The only reason I uploaded it to YouTube was to have a place to host it so I could share the link with the Bungie Help forum in the hopes they would review and restore his characters. We never expected anyone but Bungie to see it. Then Bungie posted it to their weekly newsletter on Wednesday, and the Internet exploded."
Unfortunately, Henry has suffered a backlash for his naiveté, drawing insults. His mother has been accused of being a bad parent for allowing him to play.
Thankfully, members of the community have stepped up to offer support. The Dads of Destiny clan has reached out to Bungie to request assistance for Henry. Others have stepped in to help him level faster.
"Hay (sic) guys my name is actually Henry, I am currently 11 years old and just got a ps4 for Christmas I legitamitly (sic) ranked up my warlock to level 31, some of you are haters but some of you are supporting me, I accept both," Henry wrote in a comment posted to the video below. i indeed was trying to cheat but he convinced me into doing it right before the video started, he currently has a YouTube and does this everyday... I accept the fact that I got 'rekt' not so many people are supporting me so I kind of feel discouraged do (sic) can you please leave out the hurtful comments I tried to cheat yea I deserve it, but it doesn't mean you have to say mean things about me... Thank you for your time."
As you can see at the end of the video, Henry boldly confronts his malefactors immediately after the incident. He doesn't resort to foul language. He treats them with civility. His mother tells us that this is a valuable lesson for Henry and others.
"I think this is a great opportunity to reiterate to the gaming community about the importance of not trusting anyone online, even if you think they are your friends," Kramer says. "Protect your hard work by being cautious. As Henrys parents, we are constantly reminding him of this, to be careful, never share your personal information, always be on the lookout. But the truth is, no matter how many times a parent says this to a kid, when youre in the actual situation, its easier to trust people you think are your friends because someone you actually know in real life vouches for them."
On a personal note, as the father of a ten-year-old and a six-year-old (who absolutely loves watching me play Destiny), I hope that those who would consider reaching out to insult Henry and his family reconsider. We didn't share this video to ridicule, but to show the potential dangers of using Share Play with strangers.
Hopefully, Bungie is able to make an exception and assist Henry. And for those who might be interested in helping him recover his progress through play, his PSN ID is in the video below.
Considering there is a code of conduct that was broken...yah.
Nah. If you're getting your rocks off bullying kids a quarter your age you deserve to be shat on.
What exactly was broken? Is it documented anywhere?
(Honestly asking, in case I missed a post.)
Letting a stranger play a game for you isn't anywhere close to meeting a stranger IRL and what hell is this for kind of wake up call to his parents? They won't let him play with strangers anymore or something?
Yes, great, he has now learned the lesson to not trust any strangers anymore, amazing. Because everyone learns everything after one lesson. Having a guy deleting his save files will definitely make sure this kid will never get himself harmed anymore by a stranger for sure.
According to that list, it looks like the kid broke more rules than the guy who trashed his account.
I think everyone's tried to glitch in destiny at least once.
Yep. Kid is only 11.
So does that mean the person who trashed his account doesn't get punished? Nope, that isn't how it works.
There should be a warning when share play is enabled about shit like this. Can't believe some of you guys are saying this kid deserved it.
If Sony/Bungie is to punish the guy who trashed his account with a ban, it would only be fair if the kid earns a ban as well for attempting to cheat the system.
Can't have one without the other.
He's not even old enough to play the game lets be honest okay. I have kids as a matter of fact I have an 11yr old son and one who is 12 and BOTH know well enough to not do stupid shit like this. Sure the guy who did it was a dick outright and I'm not defending it but if the kids parents were worth a shit they could've taught this young man not to do something like this for among other things this exact reason. Sony isn't to blame because there are safeguards in place for children on PSN if his parents cared enough to set his account up properly. Bungie isn't to blame here either and kids will be kids and without proper guidance harsh lessons such as these are learned the hard way and ultimately the blame is the kids parents because this never should've been allowed to happen in the first place.
Indeed. I like him calling what he did "justice".What a terrible person.
What a terrible person.
Not to mention this guys post history...
I believe his reddit name is buzzgoku

Can't say I feel bad for someone trying to cheat.
1. Destiny is ripe with exploitsIf Sony/Bungie is to punish the guy who trashed his account with a ban, it would only be fair if the kid earns a ban as well for attempting to cheat the system.
Can't have one without the other.
No but you can bet he won't ever willing give a stranger control over his game system/computer ever again. It really sucks what happened to him but this is a lesson that will stick with him for a very long time. It could of been worse as others said could of given control over the families personal computer and the person getting personal or banking information. Maybe this going viral will be a lesson to other kids about trusting strangers with your console/pc/online accounts.
How do we know the Kirmit guy is 38 years old? Was skimming the thread and missed some updates.
1. Destiny is ripe with exploits
2. The kid didn't set out to exploit, he was manipulated by the troll to try it.
3. Are you so craven you can't discern the difference between the victim and the attacker? The troll did this before, to a person who wasn't trying to glitch.
I get so excited that I run to google to learn about it. I'm capable of getting to level 23 in an FPS at 11, I can learn how to use the internet.
as if that's ever stopped you or any other person here from playing or watching something that's not for their recommended ages.
It's just a game. Relax.Whether the kid is stupid or not has nothing to do with anything, this Kermit guy is a heinous scumbag. A blight on humanity. Why would you cause someone else pain for amusement? Hopefully this idiot will get his.
Wow, this angers me quite a bit more. What a worthless piece of shit that guy is. Seriously hope he has to answer for his behavior as it's clear from his post history that he is not a person worthy of respect.So is BuzzGoku the same guy as Kermit? Man...I hope Anon or 4chan brings justice to this piece of shit.
Gameinformer has an update for it

We know this for a fact?
Yes, the troll put the idea in his head that the glitch was there in the first place.We know this for a fact?

Sure you can hear only one side, but it certainly doesn't seem like it is the kid the one initiating the question.
Which even makes it more terrible for all these people condemning the kid for cheating.
But there is enough proof for you to condemn the kid and equivocate a ban like the troll?So our proof is a one-sided conversation?
Yeah, I can't go along with that. It's inconclusive.
