They pay, eventually. They're particularly slow for game client exploits. Much quicker for server-side issues.

Yeah, it is certainly a wide spectrum. Server-side fixed in days to months, but these game client bugs have been sitting for years.

I had one server bug in HackerOne’s “mediation” for over a month, after 4-6mo of no reply, which did nothing until mentioning it to a Valve employee on another report they had actually responded to.

Disappointing for a program that has paid $1m+ in its lifetime.
