Security First: Protecting Fun in the Age of Always-Online Games

In today’s always-connected world, security is no longer a back-office checkbox—it’s the foundation of every great game experience. Players invest real money, real time, and real emotion in our worlds. One breach can shatter that trust overnight.

Why security matters more than ever

• Cybercrime is exploding – Global damages are projected to hit $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

• Microtransactions = big targets – In-game purchases topped $175 billion in 2022; hackers follow the money.

• Attacks keep evolving – Account takeovers, DDoS spikes (up 50 % in 2021), and malware campaigns targeting gamers surged 30 % between 2020-2022.

• Reputation is fragile – 70 % of players say they’ll abandon a title after a security scare.

Common threats we fight every day

1. Account hijacking – Stolen logins drain inventories and leak personal data.

2. DDoS assaults – Server meltdowns during launches, tournaments, or big content drops.

3. Malware & cheats – Compromised game clients that steal data and ruin fair play.
