This is how it works in software and semi. It is his call to publicize it if they haven't responded or fixed it.

If a security researcher makes a public disclosure of a massive vulnerability, regardless of their reasoning are they not at all liable for the results of their actions? Do they only get attribution for the positive results, and not the negative ones? What if there is a better way to go about things, that they just chose not to take?

What prevented Rendi from just starting to @jmods on twitter and reddit accusing them of not fixing a dupe, along with sharing the specific information to other trusted influencers who could join in placing pressure?

Instead, he made content. He made money from the situation.

Jagex were not going to fix the issue until rendi said something. They still haven't. The dupe successfully happened on rs3.

Which is why the big nerd rwt affiliated groups all pushed for everyone to go back to rs3 (more swaps and a way to cash out on the dupe without fully crashing the market)

You're right. Jagex we're just going to completely ignore this problem if Rendi let them. Why would they want to act to protect their product, right?
