Well there is a new and dangerous hack running around

[Phantom]

Players are now able to inject "modified game files" detection to the anti cheat to VERY temporary kick you from a server

Only experienced one player do it so far and it was 100% them and 100% a hack. But when you see one roach you know a hundred are hiding.

you can claim whatever you want, all you document is an unexpected behaviour, the intended mechanism is pure speculation without a source to how the exploit actually works. what is known from the FO76 community is that a specific type of griefing, mailicious toxic tryhards dont find it all too attractive, since PvP is very anti-competitive. so it resembles games such as valheim in that way.
my assumption is that some people use macros to reshuffle their grind for legendary weapons, its one of the weaknesses of this game that end-game god status becomes very empty if you do not combine it with a heavy dose of altruism serving the community.

I don't understand, how does another player inject modified files onto your computer through fallout 76? that's not how the game works. They could probably in the case of a genuine hacker who has access to the server it's self, inject files directly into the servers files, but that would literally affect everyone and would have been noticed when 24 players at a time suddenly had malware pop up from 76. if in fact it didn't spread across the server farm hitting several hundred players within an hour.

Huh. Almost as if kids these days thought sabotage was cool or like hipsters wrote articles about it.

Did you know BGSAustin was a completely separate entity before Beth's purchase? Putting yourself in the shoes of those devs, would you like some big company to come buy your studio, throw your love child in the trash and stick you on some franchise project? Having sure employment is nice but that's not exactly why impassioned designers get into the industry - other areas of software are much more reliably lucrative.

Then there was the dev who had their personal life fall apart in part due to the time demands of the work, had a mental break down, etc. The sort of thing social justice extremists latch onto instead of addressing the cause of (or in this case, considering the many other factors)

With that in mind I don't mean to imply some sort of witch hunt needed, but it would be easy to see why though not entirely how.

Well I believe soon AI will be injecting things into everything. So I am having fun as much as I can now before the Turds hit the fan.

Yes it will and Microsoft are actively encouraging their game studios to use their tools. Not just for game creation but also QA.

Just like the Matrix humans seem destined to be the playthings of robots...

It's interesting everyone jumped down Bethesda's throat when their servers were hacked years ago. Yet no one ever mentions the more obvious culprit that is literally a catalog of users' private personal info. Remember, if they can get your email they can get everything else, too.
