sadly it's been posted to Xitter, but I enjoy this 5 second clip of ImperialHal (one of the affected players):

yeah, totally not a compromised PC
There's something deeply worrying about the fact that especially here on Lemmy people are so acutely aware of the audience they're speaking to that we need to preface our messages with "I'm really on your side on this issue BUT.." because we know how easy it is to say the wrong thing and then be mobbed for it.
One shouldn't have to worry about any of that. Especially on anonymous internet forum. If someone comes at you for posting a twitter link then that's their issue, not yours.
I mean, I despise Twitter myself and wish I didn't drive traffic to their website, but this clip is just too good not to share.
By number of users, Lemmy is the worst forum for mobbing I've ever come across. You'd get similar mobbing on Reddit but there were 500x the number of users.
I assume it's because a mass of people came here for a staunchly idealistic reason simply because it was the alternative to reddit.
Also that the people who don't care about that kind of thing wouldn't have bothered moving from Reddit in the first place, or be bothered enough to interact with the post.
This clip is him installing Malwarebytes, after the hacking/cheating incident happened
lmfao I thought these matches were being played in person with controlled hardware???? yeah they deffo just installed malware
edit: yeah even if this is him installing malwarebytes, im sorry but you cannot guarantee these guys dont have compromised PCs just because they're streamers.
