I don't know if the explanation is real, but the attack certainly is.

    We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

      I would be on board if they also hit unity or unreal but that is probably not really possible. As it is its really just feeding into monopolies.

      While I agree that ss14 and the robust engine is better, I don’t think that ddosing a game is the right way of doing this.

          “Drats! My evil schemes are thwarted yet again by reason and sensible suggestions! When will this citric tyranny end?!?! Curse you, Lime! !!!”

          Mr. Hacker falls to his knees, releasing a primal scream towards the heavens, torrential rain soaking his purple tuxedo, turning brackish as it mixes with his salty tears of rage.

    Where does it say in the article that the hacker wants to be a Bond villian?

      turn of phrase. Bond villians generally have some weird philosphy that guides their actions, like this attacker who is using a cyberattack to push a goal of threatening a company to make their stuff open source.
