Blizzard Games Affected By Another DDoS Attack Right Now [UPDATE: FIXED]

@Zorlac: @Kezzy123 's complaining, like most kids are since the start of the event, that we can't buy the new items with credits. The only way is to open a box, which either are earned in game or costs money.

Those kids act like Blizzard owe them something and they should get everything they want. They forget that you actually get a lot of that stuff while playing the game. They forget that once you buy the game, every single new maps and characters, other game modes and other modifications impacting the GAMEPLAY will always be free.

And they forget that Blizzard will continue working on the game for years to come without any income coming from the sales of DLC. They can't sustain it only with hoping people will still buy the game 6 months or a year from now. They will eventually run out of steady income. So selling loot boxes with OPTIONAL, COSMETIC ITEMS ONLY is their only way of income to still continue working on the game for years.

Who cares if you didn't get the Genji skin you wanted? It won't impact your enjoyment of the game in any ways. You can't even see your skin while playing except for the weapons! And you can still get them by having fun playing a game you should like whether or not you have nice shiny skins or not.

So, kids, what do you like better? Having COSMETIC stuff you can't buy with credits but can earn by buying loot boxes or earning them in-game and have new GAMEPLAY related things free? Or having all the shiny skins you want for free but have to pay for DLC down the line because these things take money to make?

I don't know you, but my choice is clear.

And to be honest, throwing a tantrum and wanting them to lose money and get hacked and DDOSed because you didn't get what you wanted is really extremely selfish. Yes, you are entitled to your opinions. But Blizzard have the right to do what they want with THEIR games. You don't agree? Fine. Don't buy or play their games. It'll make them lose money that way too and it will show them a lot more efficiently that you don't agree with their way of thinking. DDOS attacks won't.

@tonywalthall: the problem is enforcement. Who can detect and punish these criminals?

I agree something needS to be done, it'sjustamore complex issue that conventional law enforcement isn't equipped or trained to tackle.
