It appears that GTA 6 developer Rockstar have been subjected to yet another hack. Earlier today, The Cybersec Guru shared a report that a hacker group by the name of ShinyHunters had added Rockstar Games to its dark web leak site. The hack apparently wasn’t directly targeted at Rockstar or their Snowflake data warehouse, but at Anodot, a SaaS cloud-cost monitoring tool Rockstar uses. ShinyHunters offered the following statement, directed at the Grand Theft Auto developer: “Rockstar Games. Your Snowflake instances were compromised thanks to Anodot.com. Pay or leak. This is a final warning to reach out by…
Greek mythology ARPG Titan Quest 2 is doing just about everything I hoped for from the sequel to one of the most beloved games like Diablo. Sticking to a contained experience rather than trying to chase live-service trends, it’s building on the fundamentals that made the original a success, like its class mastery system and some gorgeous, crafted area and encounter design. Grimlore Games has also been making some pretty impressive strides through early access, and has just revealed the next addition, which will be immediately popular with fans of Diablo’s Necromancer. The next Titan Quest 2 update is set…
World of Warcraft didn't scare the RuneScape devs, who were getting "tens of thousands of new accounts every single day" in 2004 and could barely build servers fast enough for the MMO to keep up
World of Warcraft is the 800-pound gorilla of the MMO world – the undisputed titan that the entire genre is measured against. You might think that the developers behind RuneScape, an even older and far more modest online RPG, would’ve been a little nervous when Blizzard’s game launched, but it seems that’s not the case. Jagex was, after all, too busy suffering from success.There was “surprisingly not” much worry about WoW’s launch within Jagex, according to an interview with RuneScape design director Mark Ogilvie from the October 2014 issue of GamesTM. Ogilvie attributed the RuneScape’s success to its very light…
Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter
I do not like the combination of the words “Epic Games,” “Disney,” and “extraction shooter,” yet write them I must. That’s because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal. Last month, Epic laid off over 1000 employees, citing the usual “industry-wide challenges” as well as “challenges unique to Epic” as the reasons for why they had to do so. An additional effect of these layoffs is…
This Russian military intelligence group has been stealing people's sensitive data, so you might want to connect your router through a VPN
It’s sad to think that there are a lot of people out there who just see the internet as a useful tool for talking to friends, buying stuff, and finding things to watch, without any real awareness of the fact that, without a VPN, it leave them very exposed. The recent Russian cybersecurity threat identified by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in the UK is a perfect example of this. So what’s going on? Well, the NCSC has discovered that Russian military intelligence group, APT28, has been hijacking vulnerable routers in the UK. By exploiting a DNS issue, internet…

Crimson Desert's latest update beckons you to abandon the last of your attention span with its new 4x cutscene speed option
There are a myriad of reasons you might want to skip a cutscene in a game. It plays right before a boss you keep dying to and you just want to get back to it, you’re a speedrunner, hell, you just don’t care all that much about the story but like the gameplay.

League of Legends lead Phroxzon says "frustrating" counters like Mel are part of the MOBA's "secret sauce"
“Loser’s queue doesn’t exist. You belong at your rank.” League of Legends lead gameplay designer Matt ‘Phroxzon’ Leung-Harrison has put his mental fortitude to the test by sitting down across from 20 players and answering direct questions. On the cards were some of the burning questions you’ll hear tossed frequently around the MOBA’s community, but the discussion that stood out to me most was the conversation regarding Mel. The Arcane star is a champion who can completely shut down certain opponents, something Riot has typically tried to avoid, but Phroxzon appears happy with her current state. You need a certain…
