Rockstar Games' servers have been under fire from DDoS attacks causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online.

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.

    time for refunds.

    Steam has refunded games that added anti-cheat that broke linux playability in the past iirc

      They have also denied refunds if a game is running in the background and you have 100 hours while editing a spreadsheet, so tread lightly

        Didnt hear about that one, but I do recall some stories of people playing hundreds of hours, dev making a major catastrophic change, and steam still giving the refund.
