A thief’s life isn’t easy. But what happens when the value of stolen goods totals millions? In the world of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, one player found out the hard way.
A shocking discovery
Reddit user Scribe_Of_Satire shared his experience of getting thrown in jail for a staggering 20 million days – roughly 55,000 years. His crime? Petty theft. He had wandered the cities, snatching items from market stalls and homes, never hurting anyone or breaking into private property. But the sheer volume of his loot added up, with an estimated value of 2,015,212,288 dollars.
A strange glitch
When Scribe_Of_Satire turned himself in and let time pass, the game’s calendar went haywire. The years ticked backward, into negative numbers. It’s an entertaining experiment, but let’s be real – no human could survive that long.
