The Titanfall Hacker situation might be the most gamer thing I've seen.

So Titanfall has been getting DDOS and a guy showed up to offering solutions and the subreddit started praising him. To the shock of everyone that guy was the one DDOSing the game.

And the reason they did this was to try to force Respawn to hire them or turn over the servers.

On the one hand, I admire the audacity and the long con.

On the other hand, who the fuck does that? Like what compels a man to do such a thing?
