See if it's copy/paste from their last few installments.

Do you have any doubt?
I hope that leak and got some good mods.

I stole the FIFA 21 source code, too.

I bought FIFA 20 and then decompiled it.

Whoever hacked those servers should've turned FIFA into the 4chan Cup.

"FIFA"

Euroslime or Russia hack. Americans correctly believe soccer is for gay babies.

That already exists. It's called the latter-day state of Team Fortress 2.

I like this is an article about an article.

It's a shame that's all they did.

It would fill my soul with happiness to read the article: "One month on from the cyber attack and EA are still offline, can EA survive another month?"

It would be great for the normies to see just how much of their gaming is dependant on more than a plastic box in their living room. I wonder how many would be fuming when they can't play any games?

Shame it wasn't a good game like Football Manager or Inazuma Eleven.

How...? Nothing of value was gained.

He also stole FIFA 22's source code as well.

I wonder how much of the FIFA and Madden source code is shared much like how both leagues are just excuses for a bunch of niggo criminals to run around onscreen.

Anybody got a link?

If FM gets stolen we probably won’t get anymore. At least EA can afford to keep making FIFA since their bullshit Ultimate Team Gachafilth pulls in a disgusting amount of $.

Lots of "hacks" and "leaks" in recent months. I guess a lot of corporate servers got connected to internet so people could work remotely and it worked about as well as anyone with a brain would expect things to work when your dumbass employees connect to company shit from their malware infested PC.

We're getting a shitton of leaks by the second, what does that mean for the industry as a whole?

Hopefully it burns to the ground and rises from the ashes like a phoenix

I guess there was something of value to find.
