The very first sentence of the article:

> Fire services attended the offices of Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar North this morning and secured "structural damage" following a reported boiler explosion.

[kotaKat]

Well... then I guess the local boilermakers' union will have to come around with Scabby the Rat inflatables.

It seems like it would be easier for some people to rig a boiler to explode than trying to get their hands on dynamite.

Why go through the hassle of trying to source a bomb when the victim provides you one on location already.

FYI, I'm not saying that's what happened, just that your dismissal shouldn't be immediate.

Also, the best way to sabotage something, is to make it look like an accident, that way they aren't looking for you.

That’s an absurd stance to take in the absence of any supporting evidence.

A boiler exploding is not surprising.

[rationalist]

> That’s an absurd stance

That's why I didn't take that stance.

Are you familiar with the concept of a joke ? I can send you some peer reviewed papers to read about humour if you'd like.

[nkrisc]

Yes, I am familiar with jokes, but I don't see one here.

[Novosell]

Jokes are not permitted on HN, please don't do it again.

[dessimus]

HN is intented for mildly pleasant experiences only.

[akramachamarei]

That's not actually true, though, is it? Or is there some other HN legal document besides https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ?

Joking about an office building exploding is contextually not a funny joke

[pfdietz]

Even worse, they didn't make a joke about the game "being on Steam".

[mschuster91]

As long as no one died or got seriously injured, I see no problem in cracking jokes.

[lanfeust6]

It didn't land, but bad jokes aren't a crime

[lazide]

Don’t tell TSA that.
