Who will win the battle for Destiny 2?
The game Destiny 2 is experiencing one of the most severe crises in its history. And it's not about players complaining about boring seasons or broken loot. During the week, the game became almost inaccessible due to DDoS attacks, which was confirmed by Bungie. This is rare, given that the company almost never speaks publicly about such attacks.
Bungie has not yet been able to take control of these attacks. Players can play the game for a while, as it is usually not completely disabled, but they never know when they will be kicked out of the game, whether it is during the raid boss or when the enemy is killed. Many players have decided not to play at all until this issue is resolved, and it is unclear when the problem will be fixed.
The Steamcharts chart for Destiny 2 shows the instability of the game due to DDoS attacks. If you compare it to the schedule of a normal game, where there are no problems with the server, the Destiny 2 line looks like the pulse of a deceased patient.
The time frame for eliminating the consequences of the attack remains uncertain. Many players expressed dissatisfaction with Bungie's lack of effective measures to prevent DDoS attacks. At the same time, rumors are spreading that the cause is "faulty server technology" from Bungie itself, which seems unlikely. Currently, the company's priority is to restore the stable operation of the game and retain the gaming community.
DDoS attacks are hard to deal with, and even harder to find the culprit. Bungie has filed lawsuits against anyone who harmed their game and community in a variety of ways, from cheaters to copyright infringers. But the current attack deals more damage to the game than anything else. Although sometimes DDoS attackers are found and hunted down, this almost never happens in the game space.
The situation remains tense. While players are looking for alternatives, Bungie is working hard to fix the problem. A solution is expected to be found in the coming days.
