The Blackangel Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) There is no such thing as security online. Even if you surf the surface web through TOR and use a VPN, you're still not secure. Someone is always watching, and hackers are getting more and more skilled every minute. The pentagon, FBI, and CIA have all been hacked more than once. And their infrastructure is some of the most heavily guarded and well protected in the world. If their top secret files were released to the public, that would constitute treason on the part of the one who leaked them, and would warrant an immediate "kill on sight" execution to prevent further leakage. There's most likely some government asshole (🖕fuck you you bastard🖕) who's watching me type this right now. They have programs designed and built specifically for them that allow them to watch people online in real time. They use specific terms to search for and spy on what they deem to be suspicious activity or suspicious sites. I doubt they care much about a video game forum, as they probably think we're all a bunch of angsty 12 year olds. But there's nothing they can't do. And there's nothing they won't do.

Fractured_Veil Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 They could have at least blamed it on a Loki variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think if we think about it, if things are this serious a lot of streamers can get into trouble for their speech too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) It's the least fun when you know you can be doxxed or traced from a games dumb mistake. I will def not even get close to playing it. A lot of people can have their lives kinda destroyed by it. Edited July 7, 2021 by Shole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even thought of getting this garbage the same way I didn't buy Anthem because I know it'll soon be canned. The game is just one big mistake and now Square Enix is paying the hefty price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many had that problem with second life where they were dating or having affair while already being in bad relationship in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already have a real life - why would you want to live out that same existence in virtual reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I think there is a bit talk from the maker of it. second life has a lot of plans in near future with VR. I think you can see where it would go in that case. that developer who made the narrative design for second lifes open world has also a course on the masterclass website if I am not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody hardly says anything about this though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of working gamers often can't afford to feed the system that asks for every in app item to win. and the thing is that people who can afford to do that wont say a thing against this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is the exact issue we always have with these kinds of games - they need to address the problems in their real life or at least try to make it bearable instead of turning to virtual reality to live out their fantasies. It's okay to play a game but don't forget that nothing you do in these games will improve your real-life situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thing is that often therapy and the talks wont solve this issue. sometimes in modern world if you are done with relationship means you are done and cant drag it like life in 1920s where population was low and adjusting was necessity. games would give people option with VR in near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
