Larry Hryb, Director of Programming for Microsoft's Xbox LIVE online gaming network, has had his Xbox LIVE profile hacked.
Known by his gamertag Major Nelson, Hryb was part of the Xbox 360 launch team and was one of the first game execs to have a regular podcast and blog.
In his LIVE account, his bio info (Name, Location) and the speech bubble appear to be hacked. The hacker have been writing various messages on Major Nelson's account:
Kotaku is confirming with Microsoft whether Hryb has been informed of this hack and what further steps will be taken.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Oh that's so sad.
Wow, watch in about two weeks. 10000 degree story on N4G about hackers being prosecuted by Microsoft for tampering and hacking accounts.
have fun in jail
I know fanboys will be like "LOL 5 DOLLARS FOR GOLD AND YOU CANT SECURE YOUR ACCOUNTS" but this sucks for gamers. Seriously. This could be a huge disaster for people, like buying games online and ruining your credit card.
I hope it all goes well.
- Note: I don't really like Live or the 360, I own one but I use my PS3 more. This is not good, regardless if its 360, Wii or PS3.
