I'd like to see this person actually get paid for what is essentially a million dollar fix

"Just got awarded $10k through their H1 in-game bounty as an exception :)) (usually only for security issues)"

From their blog post about it: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times...

Yup. I'm not deeply familiar with the situation and circumstances but it sounds like this person should be very well compensated for what they did.

The amount of free skilled labor businesses benefit from and abuse while not donating back to society is laughable. It's great they helped the GTA 5 community and a fun read but keep your pride and fame, I'd take cash anyday over a pat on the back.
