The lawsuit spells out how the defendants have allegedly been selling subscriptions to services which can initiate DoS and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks against a number of games, including Rainbow Six Siege.
"For example, a Twitter account operated by one or more of Defendants has repeatedly mocked Ubisoft’s security efforts, including Ubisoft’s efforts to ban individuals utilizing Defendants’ DDoS Services." "Indeed, Defendants have gone out of their way to taunt and attempt to embarrass Ubisoft for the damage its services have caused to R6S," reads one excerpt, alongside a sample screenshot embedded below. With connectivity issues inhibiting player experience - server timeouts, disconnections, and cloud sync failures abound - there’s no doubt Ubisoft’s failure to act on the prevailing issues would lead to embarrassment for the brand and the loss of player confidence in their platform.This is a notable bit of follow-through on Ubisoft's recent promise of legal action against Rainbow Six Siege DDoS attackers, and as Polygon points out, Ubisoft's lawsuit claims the defendants themselves have been asking for it. Right now, RS Siege enjoys a massive player count of over 70 million gamers around the world. These issues have been around for a while but they’ve been especially prevalent over the past few weeks. On the PC forums alone, you’ll see plenty of players who’ve run into connection issues - from cloud sync failure to total inability to connect to game servers. Although the server migration process may take months to complete, the expected end result would be fewer to no connection issues moving forward.īefore the server upgrade announcement, Ubisoft’s tech support forums got flooded with complaints regarding connectivity issues, from both players and content creators. With player frustration growing, developer Ubisoft finally takes solid measures by upgrading their servers to accommodate RS Siege 's rising player population. The announcement came out on the game’s official Twitter account amidst many long-running complaints from players who have had to face increasing game connectivity concerns. Rainbow Six: Siege has announced the migration of servers to "newer, faster" machines sometime this week.
