The denial of service attacks aspect in particular is the worst form in my opinion (after having experienced it firsthand in PS Home). When online bullies have the capability to shut down your entire internet service through a game, that should sound an alarm that serious action must be taken to address the problem. Unfortunately, the alarm system is off and no one is doing anything about it.

Maybe if the creators of some of these online games experienced the activity for themselves, then they would approach development a bit differently with these kinds of problems in mind. Or maybe I’m wrong, and they have, and there’s no effective solution they can come up with, other than “Just turn the game off and stop playing.”
