Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code - eviltoast

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.

        Never been to either. Sorry that you’re feeling so defensive about a simple joke response to your hilarious video game/internet tough guy/I am very badass rant.

        Not sure how that makes me someone from either of those instances but it is genuinely funny to see someone go straight to some dumb tankie or communist or what-the-fuck-ever they are name calling shit over something so silly 😂

        As if laughing at your totallyhappened story makes someone a Russian plant or a Chinese Holocaust denier or whatever dumb thing ignorant people are going on about now.

        Tl:Dr

        Stay mad. Touch grass.
