They are going to end of life that game fucking quick.
Released today: Rainbow Six: Siegeier
It’s exactly the same game but the in game economy has been reset so you’ll
be forced toget the privilege to buy all of your addons one more time
Hell yeah. Reminds me of getting onto servers in gtav where people would just hand out money like candy.
Also, my account was hacked for a week or so when I wasn’t playing. They had enough time to give my toon a billion dollars and buy every piece of clothing and most of the most valuable assets in the game before I kicked them out.
Thank you, anonymous hacker.
Was great in GTAV when there were people just machine gunning money around
Chaotic good
You telling me that if I log in right now, I’m rich (in-game)?
A) until they rollback
B) they closed the store
Rollback :(
Hmmmm a youtuber I watched just said ‘the hackers messed with players accounts’ and ‘dont worry, ubisoft will fix it soon’.
If this post is true, and the hackers tried to be Robin Hood here, then I think that YouTube account isn’t as unbiased as I thought. (I haven’t played since Ace joined)
Chaotic good hackers.
Is this technically fraud, given that it’s not real money and the loss was potential earnings (and it’s likely fully-reversible too)?
given that it’s not real money
No money is “real”
Video game currencies technically hold just as much value as fiat currencies in theory.
Here here the loss of potential earnings stuff airways grinds my gears
Fraud isn’t the right description. Fraud, at least in my jurisdiction, has specific elements. When you:
1: make a statement or representation that you know is false, that
2: you intend to deceive others with, for them to rely on your false statement, that
3: your statement is materially false (that your false statement is not just something trivial or puffery), that
4: the defrauded party does in fact rely on your false statement, that
5: this causes damages, and that
6: you benefit from this misrepresentationThe fact that they did not benefit makes this not fraud. Also, just a glance at it, it would seem hacking is closer to theft than fraud. Still, not a lawyer, take this as a 1L pretending to know what he’s talking about.
For a very short period of time, I was a millionaire (in an in-game currency; don’t take this away from me dammit) in Rainbow Six Siege.
All currency is imaginary. Criminals used to use World of Warcraft gold.
You were a millionaire.
That shocking news! Almost as shocking as hearing that there are still Rainbow Six games being made and played.
A dev said on Discord spending the currency could result in account bans
Their public statement says this isn’t true and a rollback is in progress.
They what now
