Blizzard might DDOS attack Marvel Rivals

[XanapyXP]

Hey I don’t know how true this is but a former Activision employee said that Activision blizzard might do repeated DDOS attacks on the marvel rivals servers when the game drops with thousands of bots leaving and joining matches, apparently they do this to other competitors like gundam evolution when it was really popular. And seeing how big marvel rivals hype is I’m finding it likely this game is on Activisions radar. I worry MR will have a rough launch :( just spreading the word 🙏

Why would they do that though? What's that point?

This would be cause for a legal suit at some level. I personally believe it's heresay.

Apparently there’s no laws against having bots leaving and joining the game so they could legally get away with this

take the tin foil hat off.....

yeah let's blame the day 1 server issues on blizzard
MR will have its own share of issues, ranked OW players will complain about MR lacking balance and most people who are used to 300 fps will face huge performance issues

They already did this for Paladins :(

This reads like a kid who lives in a fantasy land, and doesn't know how the real world works.

Obviously there's Terms of Service that you have to sign off on, the penalty being fines and lawsuits.

They will be too busy DDOSing the Path of Exile 2 servers that goes into early access on the 6th as well.

Blizzard, as a company, would not DDOS another companies game. Stupid, juvenile, obnoxious twits who might play their games, or any other game might yes.
