They saved the game, and the studio
Without Xbox, there would be no Titanfall, no Apex, and no Jedi Survivor
World would be a better place if they had tried to buy them sooner

Wonder how they’ll handle it.

Very curious to see how EA/Respawn handle this one
$1M on the line aint no cheap change fir this tourney
This hacker “Destroyer2009” been running crazy in ranked lobbies for about a few months now and now decided to mess with the ALGS scene
At one point he was gifting Hal/Mande Apex packs they both had over 2.5k packs to open

Those people getting hacked on Apex are very lucky that the hacker or hackers don't seem to be doing much else. They were able to install and run cheat software on these players' systems, so it's pretty safe to say they're using an RCE (remote code execution) exploit.
In theory, those using the exploit could install and run much worse. RATs (remote administration tool), ransomware, ...
They could also quickly gather all your data.

I'd be surprised if this remains relatively non-malicious.
If this is an exploit contained by just a handful of people, they could make a lot of money selling access to it due to the potential for extortion through ransomware and data theft.
For now it's clearly being used as an ego trip, hence why the hacker identified himself. Speaking from personal experience with people who are in jail on dozens of hacking charges, these are the biggest self-snitchers you'll ever meet.

I think I saw the cheap anti cheat company they use came out and pointed the finger at Apex / EA, saying they don’t see any evidence of an RCE exploit.

More specifically, Easy Anti-Cheat said "[they] are confident" the problem isn't on their end. That'd be really bad because EAC is used for a lot of games.

Halo Infinite just announced they’re implementing EAC as well
And the network overhaul is coming this week it seems

Have almost bought Evil West so many times. Excited to check that out.
Apex Legends hacker said he hacked tournament games 'for fun' | TechCrunch
The hacker declined to share details of the vulnerability with the game's maker and publisher because neither had a bug bounty.
techcrunch.com
so wild man
Destroyer2009 declined to provide details of how he allegedly pulled off hacking the two players midgame or which specific vulnerabilities he exploited.
“I really don’t want to go into the details until everything is fully patched and everything goes back to normal,” the hacker said. The only thing Destroyer2009 said regarding the technique he used was that the vulnerability “has nothing to do with the server and I’ve never touched anything outside of the Apex process,” and that he did not hack the two players’ computers directly.
The hacks “never went outside of the game,” he said.
Destroyer2009 said he did not report the vulnerability to Respawn, the video game developer that makes Apex Legends, because neither the company nor the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, offer a bug bounty program that financially rewards hackers and researchers for privately reporting security flaws.
“They know how to patch it without anyone reporting it to them,” he said.
Talking about the hacks he did during the tournament, Destroyer2009 said that he “went viral, but not many people would have used an exploit like that in an absolutely innocent way for players.”
“Just imagine if it wasn’t a joke and we didn’t put any memes in the cheat, I’m pretty sure you can ruin someone’s career if they had a cheat pop up on a tournament,” said Destroyer2009, defending his actions in an attempt to show that he never had malicious intentions.

I’ve been off of Apex since getting to Korea but it’s wild to see the game in this state. Season 20 was supposed to take it back to peak Apex.

A handheld Xbox? Microsoft’s gaming chief can’t stop thinking about it
What game would you play first on a portable Xbox?

Been saying for awhile that a Game Pass app on Nintendo Switch would be clutch. Seems like Xbox/Nintendo have been somewhat friendly competitors in recent years.
