Initially this web site was established to expose the wrongdoings of “Killing Floor 2” game community server hosters “Tamari” and “Forrest Mark X”, such as profiteering from mods stolen from other KF2 modders or denial of service cyberattacks against competitors. These people have been reporting me on Steam and maybe other platforms for “harassment”, so the risk of being deplatformed was tangible, which warranted having an independent platform.
In the process I’ve become sort of an expert in investigating both DoS and DDoS attacks against Unreal Engine servers and mitigating them. Feel free to reach out to see if I can try my hand on your DoS/DDoS situation and improve it, instead of shutting down your servers, like some losers are routinely forced to do. My record so far has been consisting of wins only, at bare minimum costs at that, as thoroughly documented on this web site here and here.
While the Tamari drama is still the main content, available on links below, for now it’s also a blog about the zombie shooting computer game design as well as the best source of independent “Killing Floor” franchise and Tripwire Interactive, LLC analysis, news and gossip. There’s a number of topics one cannot bring up on any of the TWI controlled platforms, such as Steam Discussions, the official “Killing Floor” discord server, the appropriate subreddit or their official forums. These topics will be covered here.
Be aware, that there are examples of comments to these articles that seem to pretend to be authored by some individuals involved in this drama. Some even say that I may have been in the business of fabricating them. No, I haven’t. I have “fabricated” exactly zero about this story and maintain that everything was shared truthfully. I also intended to share everything in full, without omitting any serious or exculpating evidence, but the case is quite complex and given the amount of details it may not be humanly possible to address each detail some may consider important. As always, I’m open to criticism and you should feel free to reach out in the comments or otherwise with inquires to add or amend anything said here, when warranted. These pretend comments may have been left by other players disgruntled with TWI. Or, they may have been comments left with an intent to “poison the well” so to speak. Either way, I’m not deleting anything here, but spam and everything is retained as evidence for future use.
