Why don't they do this to Ubi instead....

they must be watching I'm a celebrity get me out of here

You have to question their motivation I wonder if they got owned in Battlefield or something.
I'm far from being a EA fan in fact I only own a few free games on origin that I've never even bothered playing (dragon age origins for example) so I don't personally care but I do question why target EA specifically when Ubisoft would have been a much better target IMO.

probably because ubi hasn't had a good multiplayer game that's worth ddosing for a while, also uplay does that on its own sometimes

[Texhnlyze]

That's why.

All of dem lizards, that looks like so much fun.

 

Could only be better if it was a bunch of sloths.

[Peacefulwarrior]

I was thinking on getting Dragon Age Inquisition, guess not today

[KruNight]

The real question here is....Who calls themselves the "Lizard Squad"

[Darkman]

LizardSquad pisses me the fuck off. I remember, the one day I really wanted to watch a Twitch stream, oh nope, LizardSquad just had to DDOS Twitch didn't they?

[silenthill_69]

a bunch of bikers in FRANCE

[lunchboxdeluxe]

They think they're funny and cool but nooooooot so much.

[XTankSlayerX]

I feel like Aynonomus will do something to them...

[Tonylu1595]

So they must be the ones screwing up the CS matches...

They don't seem to be hacktivists like Anonymous, more so just jackasses with nothing better to do.

[Arphenyte]

I love these guys. Last time, when they DDOSed Twitch, I remember Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter goin crazy.

These guys demands made my day that day.

[thebennyboy]

They'll end up behind bars like the last bunch of idiots.

[DeViLzzz]

Seriously WTH?  Attack Ubi****!  For the love of all things good get it right Stupid Squad! Eh I mean Lizard Squad.

I get that but even jackasses with nothing better to do generally have a reason they selected that target over another.

I was thinking of it like this back in 2001 when I was in high school and had little better to do the only things me or my gaming clan ever bothered taking down or taking over were servers and websites belonging to people/clans that so happened to piss us off in someway usually by trying to take down our servers first. I guess not everyone requires some form of motivation to select their targets but we sure did.

Are you a bunch of teenage kids get nothing better to do?  :unsure:

Having a cause usually makes you less of a jackass but in recent months EA hasn;t really done anything wrong so it seems silly they would target them.
