Ok, why are hackers hacking video game sites and threaten developers now? Feels like they're going through with their war with attacking the gaming industry as a whole (in their supposed privacy war).

Silly gameAr5411d ago

Something tells me they're just warming up.

NukaCola5411d ago

This is where assheads need to lay off Sony and fight for the gaming industry as a whole. This is why we should put stupid fanboyisms aside and fight for our passions. These hackers deserve to suffer.

Vherostar5411d ago

There attacking anybody that supports ps3 games at all there a bunch of 360 fanboys it seems as they leaving MS alone.

Dante1125411d ago

Wait, but isn't Eidos a third party developer group as well as the fact that Microsoft are getting perks in their version of Deus Ex:Human Revolution? But I kinda agree, they have been going soft on Microsoft.

awiseman5411d ago

Of course anyone who disagrees with sony's motives is an MSfanboy/XBot..its simcple logic really...

That dousn't make much sense, assuming the are the same people who hacked Sony, then why attack a multiplat game? Wouldn't they target 3rd party companies known for making PS3 exclusives like Sucker Punch or Isomiac. They could even target Sony's 1st party devs. Attacking this game wasn't an attack on PS3 gamers, but an attack on gamers in general

These hackers are a bunch of @$$#oles, no more, no less, they want to screw anyone for no reason, this goes far beyond fanboysm...

They attack deus ex b/c of ads in the games, people finally thought wow they aren't like every other developers they actually implemented some of the fan feed back suggestions until they announce ads in the game and it pretty much piss of the gaming community.

If anyone is stupid to believe this, you need to get slapped right in your mouth. And i'm talking about getting slapped when you have your mouth open.
Sony psn hack is the biggest thing around videogame sites.
So what does Square150millionlossEnix do? They claim that their crappy site got hacked, so people can gain interest in that stank game they're releasing in a few days.

Ddouble5411d ago

I don't think it's fake. Another site showed the IRC chat between the hackers as well as the torrent full of all the details they pulled of.

Basically, their presentation says: Go Woke, Go broke.
Sorry fellow N4gamers.

Or, alternatively, don't cut Switch and Steam out of your biggest releases day one.

360ICE85d ago

If your response to a 112 page presentation from a profit-maximizing investment fund about the need for corporate restructuring (i.e. layoffs), integrating non-gaming (i.e. sell merch or build a theme park) and other corporate initiatives, is that it's about "go woke, go broke", then it's because you've lost the ability to think in any terms. Awful way to live your life. Private equity is destroying the games industry while you obsess that Square made a cringe game everyone thinks is cringe in 2023. Time to move on.

gold_drake86d ago

i mean .. we've been saying this for years.

franwex85d ago

Oh darn. Maybe games with NFTs can fixed that!

Soy85d ago

Waaah waaah our profits aren't big enough! I mean, they're still growing and all, but we want it faster and NOW! Waaaah!
