Last Christmas, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network suffered from DDoS attacks. Such attacks on network services have resulted in conversations between companies like Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer, speaking with Game Informer, discussed how nothing is gained when a rival service goes down.
He said:
All it does is put the fear and distrust from any gamer that’s out there, so I look at all of us together as this is our collective opportunity to share what we can about what we’re learning and how things are growing. Those conversations happen, which I think is great.
Nintendo has been relatively unaffected by network attacks. We can only hope the situation remains the same going forward!
Wondering who’s behind the voice of Abe Lincoln in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.? Nintendo confirmed on its Twitter account today that Wil Wheaton plays the role.
In gaming, Wheaton’s previous work includes Curtis in Broken Age, and he’s contributed to the Grand Theft Auto series and various Tom Clancy titles.
Wheaton has done quite a bit more with film and television. He was on Star Trek: The Next Generation, has had appearances on The Big Bang Theory, and plenty more.
Wheaton has been running his own blog since 2001.
