Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code

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.

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.
