Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

As an adult you may notice you spend less time with your friends. So if you've tried that you'd know how sad it is when you can't play games with your friends because of your values. When you care about video games then your interpretation of "the point" leaves a lot to be desired. I aspire for a better gaming industry.
