Hacking group claims responsibility for the recent Battle.net issues

I'm starting to get an idea where these guys are from ... *cough* Sony and Activision *cough*

Edit: I wasn't actually serious, jeez. I didn't mean to put Sony there, I just meant Activision, and I reckon we can all agree that CoD's main enemy is BF but seriously, I didn't mean anything.

PressPlayBro3516d ago

Just curious what Sony's motive would be?

pompombrum3516d ago

Yeah totally, because Activision BLIZZARD are really going to attack their own servers /s

TankCrossing3516d ago

Oh man the DDOS was awful. At one stage I moused over my gloves and the tooltip said "retrieving item information". In red. RED.

Thanks for ruining Christmas guys >:(

MatrixxGT3516d ago

These guys must never get laid.

Mrveryodd3516d ago (Edited 3516d ago )

more assholes of the internet ..... i dont know why these idiots keep targeting gamers.

Tetsujin3516d ago

At the end of the day, what's the actual purpose of these attacks? Lonely? Can't afford/play it? Better security for their servers? Because you're behind some proxy that can be traced eventually? NOTHING is 100% hidden online. Once these people get caught they will claim some BS reason which will result in a slap on the wrist.

Granted I don't care for Battlefield 1, but that doesn't mean I want to ruin someone elses day. Live and let live. Too bad not everyone lives by it.

There's no logic to what they're doing, don't try to make sense out of it.

One group not so long ago basically said they were doing it to piss people off.

rainslacker3516d ago

Eh, these guys just seem to revel in causing people to get upset. So far they haven't tried to take some moral high ground like Lizard Squad did....and failed.

They're just trolls who care more about people getting upset than doing any kind of real justice for the consumer....which I always found funny, because justice for the consumer doesn't usually involve pissing off the consumer you're trying to protect.

Nintendo Switch 2 Drops Must-Play Free FPS You Can Enjoy From Today

In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.

The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.

As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.

Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.

Neonridr24d ago

you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.

that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.

repsahj24d ago

They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
