Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance'

We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.
- "We demand you voluntarily side with progress"
  They have an interesting concept of voluntary to be sure
  
  Wow, yeah.
- I would be on board if they also hit unity or unreal but that is probably not really possible. As it is its really just feeding into monopolies.
just play ss14
- While I agree that ss14 and the robust engine is better, I don't think that ddosing a game is the right way of doing this.
  
  no i mean the hacker should do that instead
He probably calls himself some sort of Hacker. xD
- "My name is The Plague!"
are there games on Byond besides space station 13???
Where does it say in the article that the hacker wants to be a Bond villian?
- turn of phrase. Bond villians generally have some weird philosphy that guides their actions, like this attacker who is using a cyberattack to push a goal of threatening a company to make their stuff open source.
  
  "MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!" — Hacker, probably
