Respawn hit back at Apex Legends \u2018Save Titanfall\u2019 hack: \u201cThey achieved nothing\u201d Respawn EntertainmentRespawn slammed the Apex Legends hacker who\u2019s taken over the battle royale to raise awareness for the \u2018Save Titanfall Campaign\u2019 as player and dev frustrations continue to mount. Respawn Director of Communications, Ryan K. Rigney, explained more about where the company was at with the DDoS issues, as well as the anti-cheat efforts in their games \u2013 both of which are of high interest to devs and players, alike. The campaign to \u2018Save Titanfall\u2019 and its \u2018Operation Red Tape\u2019 is an awareness effort for the developers at Respawn to pay attention to the big problems that are plaguing the classic FPS titles. Organizers go as far as to suggest that EA and Respawn are \u201cactively ignoring this subject,\u201d and leaving these games for sale in their current state while allegedly ignoring customer complaints is an \u201cact of fraud.\u201d The person who hacked Apex Legends also tried to raise awareness on the cause. Unfortunately, awareness isn\u2019t the issue, Rigney said. \u201cNobody wants to hear devs complain when DDoS attacks are still a problem we haven\u2019t solved,\u201d Rigney said. \u201cThe problem\u2019s not awareness. It\u2019s that DDoSing in particular is just a hard problem to solve. Really hard.\u201d Respawn have addressed the Titanfall DDoS issue as recently as June 10. While efforts have been slow for players\u2019 liking, Rigney says the studio has been persistent in its resolve. \u201cThe team has never stopped working on DDoS solutions, and anti-cheat is just a never-ending war of whack-a-mole,\u201d he said. \u201cOn the DDoS front, we WILL solve this. When we do, I promise you it won\u2019t be because hackers \u2018made us aware\u2019 by ruining a holiday. \u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/RKRigney\/status\/1412444476828749836 The hack on Apex on Sunday, July 4 kept a lot of players from accessing the battle royale and made Respawn turn the lights back on to fix the new issue during the holiday. Even with people adamant about fixing Titanfall, the attack on Apex didn\u2019t serve any particular purpose since Respawn were already on the case. \u201cThey achieved nothing of value,\u201d Rigney said of the Apex Legends hack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
