You take things too seriously.

so , a DDoS attack to whatever site / company isn't serious ? You are aware such things could put those who did this in jail (i hope).

and furthermore, there's no real reason behind those attacks, except the "fun"...... i ask you this ;Did have made such joke if GOG website had been attacked ?

I take things, as they should be taken : a Distributed Denial of Service attack against whatever site/company isn't a solution , even if they do things which goes against customers interrests.

So basically, grow up !

It's not worth caring or complaining about, no. Everyone on the planet with access to the internet has access to scripts like the Orbital Cannon, so complaining about DDoS attacks is like complaining about the weather, it's pointless because these attacks will always happen, there's nothing that can be done to stop them unless you want to basically shut down the internet or make it into a completely government controlled and censored thing.

i know it's quite easy to get those tools & use them , however the consequences......

I'm aware , it's not possible to stop those , only mitigate the consequences, but it costs a lot to mitigate those.

i don't complain , as much as you think , i complain about your total indiference & furthermore your joke, i'm pretty sure if gog "s website had been attacked your reaction would have been different.

as i said, there a difference between attacking a site to steal informations / reveal some website weakness & attacking a site for the "fun". Basically the title of the topic is misleading.

And since when the forum is exclusive to PC games? This is a General Discussion forum, in case you haven't noticed (which seems to be the case since you have severe comprehension issues). And no, i'm neither a console gamer nor a PC gamer, i don't care about which platform the game is on, if it's good i'll play it. I just like point out how ridiculous the PC x console discussion is. And there is a huge difference between calling people "console gamer" and "consoletard", in case you haven't noticed.

You always try to ridicule the view of those who don't agree with you by insulting them. I just mentioned "consoletard" because that's the one you use the most. You don't even try to discuss things in a rational way, you just go with ad hominem instead.
I'm not wasting more time with you than i already have by digging your previous posts, but everyone who checks the forum regularly knows that what i said is true.

I came accross a comment from you a few weeks ago on Youtube and even there you kept insulting people. You really don't know how to have a civil discussion.

Sure, but this is also a site which exclusively sells DRM-free PC games. If a user comes here and then goes on to discuss only console games, it shows they are obviously on the wrong site. There's plenty of boards all over the net to discuss console games, which they can then go to litter with their "opinions". Not really, console gamers deserve mockery. They willingly buy boxes of junk with inferior control methods (gamepads) which also have grossly inferior processing, memory and graphical power to a modern PC. They buy (and thus support) the most simplistic of button-mashing, twitch-driven mindless action games and shooters.

Sorry to break it to you, but being a console gamer is a sign of ignorance, anyone with adequate knowledge and the basic human intelligence to comprehend information knows that consoles, from every perspective, are inferior platforms to a modern desktop PC. If someone willingly buys and plays a console over a PC, it can only really be because they don't know any better.

It's not even an excuse from a price/money perspective, considering how cheaply one can put together their own PC by purchasing the parts separately over the net, and over the long term you save money because of cheaper games (via sales etc) on PC, and because you can simply upgrade and replace a certain part like the GPU when necessary. Stalking me on YT now? I think there's a point when things go too far you know.

Thank you for proving me right. Have a nice day.
Not really. It was a video posted here on GOG about an indie open-world RPG being developed on Cry Engine 3. You were there insulting everyone and saying that "graphics are for people without imagination".
To quote one of arguments you use the most: "says who?". Until a mod comes down and says that it is forbidden to talk about consoles in a General Discussion forum everyone is free to discuss about it. Why should anyone give a fuck about the things you feel should be discussed or not?

Sorry to deceive you, but i'm also a console player , i'm retarded ? don't know ; you 're not here to judge what re people tastes . We are on a forums which i hope users have maners, but you seem to lack some of them.

Sure i only play on a PSP , for the console part, but i play much more on PC than the PSP ; and i have been a user of computers which exist no more.

So , as you see not all is black & white , you can't place console users in one category & pc / computers players in another

And like i said, you abuse of the tolerance of people , because you have zero tolerance with people which have differents tastes / opinions.

Does your period ever end? :P

So um...yeah about those DDoS attacks?

Everyone in the world has access to knives and cars so it makes no sense to talk about stabbing and vehicular manslaughter!

No gamer deserves mockery. I don't care if you are a console gamer, a PC gamer, a casual gamer, a hardcore gamer, an FPS gamer, a pokemon gamer, a TBS gamer, a hentai gamer, a "must play everything" gamer or any other kind of gamer. Having grown up in a time when "Video Gamer" was reason to be mocked at school and knowing how it is to be mocked about it, I do not wish to mock any kind of gamer. So, did you grow during a different time (for gaming to be acceptable, that means after PS1 was introduced, so junior high during 1995?) or do you wish to inflict the same hurt unto others?

Refrain from mocking gamers. I don't care what they wish to play, a gamer is a gamer, and all gamers should be welcome here.

Oh course it's pointless. It's an issue for law enforcement and politicians.

I do find it lovely how you fanatics attack other people on a personal level when you can't find another way to counter one's argument.

Fact is, the website is crap and it goes down regularly during busy periods. No need for DDOS attacks when regular use makes it crap in its pants.

Elenarie does have a point, GOG does crash often when there's a sale or something. Just imagine if GOG was targeted by a DDoS attack, it would melt and never recover...

You do know there's no point trying to reason with Crosmando? You can't change his view and in the end, he'll just call you a [insertsomething]tard.
