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.

just finished bioshock, wow!

Fantastic series, I'm glad you liked it, because I sure did as well.

I'm sure you're already loaded up with a backlog of recommendations and games you bought but haven't yet touched. But I'd highly recommend FTL: Faster Than Light, as well as Into The Breach. They're both from the same publisher, and are both amazing games that arguably are a defining feature of modern gaming.

I hear there are cheats for call of duty type things that people pay subscriptions for. I don’t get it.

Yeah, I'm right there with you. Could not care less about subscriptions, let alone for cheat subscriptions.

Thanks for sharing your experiences mate.

Of course. Enjoy whatever is next on your list!
