Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance'

  We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

    I would be on board if they also hit unity or unreal but that is probably not really possible. As it is its really just feeding into monopolies.

    “We demand you voluntarily side with progress”

    They have an interesting concept of voluntary to be sure

    While I agree that ss14 and the robust engine is better, I don’t think that ddosing a game is the right way of doing this.

  Where does it say in the article that the hacker wants to be a Bond villian?

    turn of phrase. Bond villians generally have some weird philosphy that guides their actions, like this attacker who is using a cyberattack to push a goal of threatening a company to make their stuff open source.
