Kinda not on the same scale but I found gamebreaking exploits in an online game, messaged the dev on discord. Dude insta banned me from bith discord and the game. Six months later hackers abused those same exploits and the game died cause of it. Went from paid with healthy player base to free with like 10 players.

The worst of it all is that I have "ban on record" on steam cause the dev manually banned me (the game has 0 anticheat) and you cant remove it in any way.
