xQc \u201crefuses\u201d to play Crab Game after DDOS attacks, then does it anyway Twitch: xQc \/ Crab GameFelix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel told Twitch fans he \u201crefuses\u201d to play Crab Game even though the developer fixed the security issues that led to the DDoS attack \u2014 but then he played it anyway mere hours later. Squid Game\u2019s success has spawned several spin-off games based on the show. But while most are custom-made mods, one called Crab Game burst onto the scene as the first free-to-play standalone game on Steam. It wasn\u2019t long before it gained traction on Twitch. Several streamers, including xQc, Sykkuno, Sodapoppin, Disguised Toast, and more, started making lobbies in a similar fashion to when Among Us was at its peak. However, things took a turn for the worse after a security hole allowed people with malicious intentions to access their IP addresses. xQc was one of many streamers who were hit with DDoS attacks that forced them to end their streams. The developer issued an update shortly after. He claimed the problem had been fixed and the game was safe to play. However, xQc still \u201crefused\u201d to play. xQc explains why he \u201crefuses\u201d to play Crab Game The topic came up when a fan asked him to play the game. \u201cF**k Crab Game,\u201d he said in response. Then he revealed the DDoS attacks caused significant damage to his router. \u201cI had to buy a new router for that.\u201d Others pointed out the issue had been fixed, but xQc still wasn\u2019t sold on the idea. \u201cThey fixed it? I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m not going to take the risk unless I have to.\u201d He also claimed that the \u201cfun and cool\u201d factor about it is gone. xQc backflips on Crab Game decision, plays anyway Hilariously, though, he completely backflipped on that decision less than a couple of hours later. \u201cCan I make a Crab Game now without getting hacked? Are you sure it\u2019s good?\u201d he asked. He double-checked the developer\u2019s comments assuring its safety, and then jumped on and host a game while he was waiting for something else to download. He was immediately hooked again. The incident hasn\u2019t seemed to slow down Crab Game\u2019s momentum, though. It\u2019s still currently one of the most-watched games on the platform. xQc made it clear that he wasn\u2019t planning to return anytime soon. But there\u2019s always a chance he might change his mind, especially if fans keep asking him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
