If you attack the servers of Valve and EA, you hurt the customers more than the companies. Think about it before you hack again! Also, there could be legal obligations from this to the customers as well, this could be very expensive for you, and they WILL catch you sooner or later!

If you don't like how Valve and EA work, start political petitions or something, but don't act like terrorist scum! At the moment you are nothing else! You are not Anonymous who fight against the bad guys, but you ARE the bad guys! Denying people access to parts of the internet is a method that is used by dictatorial regimes such as China, Russia, Iran and Germany. This is nothing that should be used by anyone fighting for a just cause.

I can imagine some of you reading the GOG forums because you like the idea of things being without DRM. This is all nice, but please don't enforce people who use DRM deliberately to suffer from your actions. I love GOG but I also love Steam, for different reasons. Yes, I hate EA, but this is not a reason to deny the EA users the access to Origin and Battlefield. What do you intend to get from this? Making people suffer even more?

You know that with very few exceptions companies don't change their models, and when they do then it is because of a public outcry and not because of terroristic actions.

Think about it!

I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again. :(

The German government isn't paying me enough for this shit anyway. Screw our Fuehrer!

I'm sorry, who exactly are you talking to, and why?

Apparently to Leroux. And to highlight unequal pay? Blocks do get discriminated against, even though they do almost such a good job as the rest of us.

I thought that GOG was just an online store.. but no, it must be some hackers hideout for sure!
...
WTF!?

Aaaaaw, but it's the only hobby I have...! :-(

Thinking of someone hacking a game company as terrorism is kinda funny, and very sad. :/
Hackers are poor kids looking for recognition.
That's exactly what your giving him/her/them.

There was a DDOS attack a few days ago against EA and Valve, led by a terroristic group that called themselves something like Derp. They announced the attacks on Twitter.

Since I don't have Twitter, I hope they can somehow read this here.

There's even a Wikipedia article about those cyber terrorists:

Who are you calling a poor kid? I may be poor and underage but I–...oh. Uh. *slinks away*

"Terrorist scum" haha.

I think his point is - why are you suggesting this was anyhing to do with anyone here?

Yeah. No.

I bet it is TinyE. I regonised that picture on the Wiki page.

Ah, I see.

Can we maybe try not to overdramatize this by equating people who shut down a gaming service momentarily with people who permanently kill and maim other people? Calling a DDOS attack on Steam "terrorism" seems horribly belittling to people whose lives have been affected by actual terrorism.

"I've been the victim of a terrorist attack!" - "Oh my god, what happened to you?" - "I couldn't play TF2 for a couple of hours!"

Try to use a little fucking perspective, will you?
