Not for interfering with my Dust time of course, but for trumping The System.
They aren't going to get caught if they know what they're doing.
Fk ISK, they will get paid in BTC and make out.
Them being able to tie up the networks like this, also goes to show just how silly the concept of 100% conversion to centralized console gaming networks truly is. "The future is cloud consoles" my ass.
Not only are these dudes going to make bank, they just further established why PC gaming is here to stay, and is growing.
Those motherfkers took life by the horns and won.
They get a big round of applause from me.
But it wasn't their original intention to trump the system and expose security issues, it was their intention to ruin the experience of the players, hence why it was staged on such a busy day like Christmas. If it was really their intention to target the companies on behalf of the people they wouldn't have accepted the bribe.
From what I've read from the beginning it was all 'For the lulz' now it's for the 'Consumer'. Anyone who hails these people for their actions is no better than them, what you've just announced to everyone is that you're proud of criminals, congratz.
Depends on the criminal and the "crime".
Some criminals are indeed worthy of praise, and these even more so. Law and Might don't make right. Hit the damn companies in the nose. Why should anyone gaf if you can't play a video game for a few days? lol
Regardless of their motivations, would anyone actually have taken them seriously if they said they were doing it "for the people"? LOL Of course not, so you just take action and let the rain fall where it will.
No better time to do that than THIS time of year. This whole thing is perfect for the very reasons you say it's bad.
Sony and M$ have a stupid series of systems going, and someone just showed them how easy that house of cards could be knocked over. The law be damned. Their actions are going to serve all the sanctimonious snobs out there in the long run anyway. It was a dirty job, and somebody had to do it.
They made their disturbance, brought juggernauts to their knees, and are going to make off for it if they're smart. What's there not to like about these guys, other than them interfering with your game time?
