GamrFeed: For the last couple months, the game industry has been "terrorized" by a seemingly new hacker group, who call themselves Lulz Security (or simply "LulzSec"). First publicly announcing their existence in June 2011, LulzSec has claimed responsibility for the Sony hacks last April that resulted in millions of users' personal information stolen, as well as crippling the PSN for over a month. Since then, LulzSec has hacked numerous other gaming affiliated companies, including Bethesda Softworks, The Escapist Magazine, BioWare, CCP Games, and Minecraft's official website. While their reportoire includes primarily video game companies, they have also hacked and stolen information from Fox, PBS, various pornography websites, and even the CIA (probably their most serious offense so far). While there will obviously be repurcussions far and wide for LulzSec's activities, this is a gaming website, so we're here to examine how LulzSec is going to affect the gaming industry, for better...
Mojang announced the release date for the latest Game Drop for Minecraft and a significant visual upgrade for the Bedrock Edition.
The latest game in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing series went through ten years of development turmoil
In early November, on the eve of the crucial holiday shopping season, staffers at the video-game studio BioWare were feeling optimistic. After an excruciating development cycle, they had finally released their latest game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and the early reception was largely positive. The role-playing game was topping sales charts on Steam, and solid, if not spectacular, reviews were rolling in.
Its easy they called the die hard fans people in their nerd caves who will buy anything and then went woke to reach modern audiences....insulting the nerds in their caves along the way showing utter contempt for their fan base. very hapy it failed and any company who insults their fan base and treat their customers with contempt and insults, in future, i also hope fail.
It’s disappointing but not surprising to see what's happening with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the broader situation at BioWare. The layoffs are tragic — no one wants to see talented developers lose their jobs. But when studios repeatedly create games that alienate their own fanbase, outcomes like this become unfortunately predictable.
There’s a pattern we’re seeing far too often: beloved franchises are revived, only to be reshaped into something almost unrecognizable. Changes are made that no one asked for, often at the expense of what originally made these games special. Then, when long-time fans express concern or lose interest, they’re told, “This game might not be for you.” But when those same fans heed that advice and don’t buy the game, suddenly they're labeled as toxic, sexist, bigoted, or worse.
Let’s be clear: the overwhelming majority of gamers have no issue with diversity, LGBTQ+ representation, or strong female leads. In fact, some of the most iconic characters in gaming — like Aloy, Ellie, or FemShep — are proof that inclusivity and excellent storytelling can and do go hand in hand. The issue arises when diversity feels performative, forced, or disconnected from the narrative — when characters or themes are inserted not to serve the story, but to satisfy a corporate DEI checklist. Audiences can tell the difference.
When studios chase approval from a vocal minority that often doesn’t even buy games — while simultaneously dismissing loyal fans who actually do — they risk not just the success of individual titles, but the health of their entire studio. Telling your core customers “don’t buy it if you don’t like it” is not a viable business strategy. Because guess what? Many of us won’t. And when the game fails commercially, blaming those very fans for not supporting it is both unfair and self-defeating.
Gamers aren’t asking for less diversity or less progress. We’re asking for better writing, thoughtful character development, and a respect for the franchises we’ve supported for decades. When you give people great games that speak to them — whether they’re old fans or new players — they will show up. But if you keep making games for people who don’t play them, don’t be surprised when those who do stop showing up
I thought the writing and character development were fine. Sometimes things just dont resonate with people.
Today, Mojang revealed the next Game Drop coming soon to its ultra-popular survival crafting game Minecraft, titled "Chase the Sky."
Does anyone think it’s a little lazy of them to use a Ghast rather than make a new Hot air balloon skin or something.
A whole update for this is wild after months of waiting
i wish these douche hackers would fuck off, seriously, i'm actually tired of hearing the word hacker.
"LulzSec has claimed responsibility for the Sony hacks last April that resulted in millions of users' personal information stolen, as well as crippling the PSN for over a month."
No they didn't
They talk all this head now but when they get caught, my moneys on someone talkin to avoid a longer prison sentence.
I wish someone would shut these guys up for good so we can argue about which console is better than hear about what site/company hackers attacked that day.
LulzSec is like a small child desperate for attention running around shouting look at me, look at me.
