Hackers flood Apex Legends with messages asking Respawn to take down the Titanfall hackers?
As ironic as it may sound, the same thing happened over the weekend, with the Apex Legends servers affected.
It is a fact that the multiplayer modes of Titanfall and Titanfall 2 have been at the mercy of hackers for years. Since the launch of Apex Legends , Respawn’s efforts with its FPS series have focused exclusively on free-to-play battle royale , causing complaints from its former community of players. And yesterday, July 4, the Titanfall players claimed their independence. In one of the industry’s most ironic incidents in a long time, unidentified users hacked into the Apex Legends servers to ask Respawn to do something against the Titanfall hackers .
Titanfall 1 is under attack, so is ApexApex Legends hackersYes, just as it sounds. During this past Sunday, players accessing Apex Legends to play ran into an on-screen message titled “Save Titanfall,” which urged them to go to a website with the same name, alerting them to the widely reported hacker problems in Titanfall. . Along with this, as Kotaku shares , the message present in the battle royale made clear the reason for these second hackers: ” Titanfall 1 is being attacked, so is Apex “.
Hacking a studio game to ask them to take down hackers from another of their games is a very ironic act, yes, but one that certainly caught the attention of Respawn . With Apex Legends players unable to properly play the shooter, as the hack limited the options to a single modified playlist, the Electronic Arts study confirmed the existence of “issues” at 10:00 PM (CEST). Hours later, already at dawn from Sunday to Monday for Spain, they resolved the incidents in Apex Legends and the servers returned to normal .
“We have determined that this attack, while annoying, has not put personal data or player accounts at risk ,” adds Respawn. Given the rush to solve this attack on Apex Legends, Titanfall players will surely wonder what prevents them from doing the same in their previous shooters, since the problem with hackers also affects Titanfall 2 . Will Respawn take note of complaints? Recall that Respawn promised just a week ago to end the Apex Legends hackers . And, in view of this incident, it seems that they are losing the game.
