Rockstar Games’ servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.
Again- I don’t fucking care what the reason is. If they were butthurt about an anticheat application, OR Linux users that are denied the game now- If they are doing DDoS attacks, they’re childish little entitled pussies. End of story.
I meant what I said. Stop trying to justify it.
Again: But what if it isn’t butthurt, but actual strategic consideration. You’re refusing to consider people having any motive but that which you assume them to have at first impression, presumably the one out of which you would go for such a mode of action. But other people aren’t you, and very well might choose their actions based on completely different principles. Who are you to tell them that they are wrong? “But muh they’re butthurt” is not an answer to that question, you’re only restating your premise.
DDoS attacks are done by butthurt entitled children.
I’m done discussing this.
Done discussing? You didn’t even start.
Ahh. So that’s how trolling works now? You pop into a discussion, act like an idiot to get someone to repeat themselves over and over, and when they give up trying, you tell them they shouldn’t have bothered voicing their opinion if they don’t want to continue enabling yours shit?
Yeah. I’m blocking you now.
I didn’t jump into anything I started the discussion. You did not participate, and still aren’t. Re-stating your premise is not an argument, you could’ve left it at “dude IDGAF what you say get off my back” from the start.
