They will know, Lee, since these hackers have altered server side data. It will have been audited in some form. And I can't remember the last time GC servers were updated
They're too bound up with BB to care about GC. Well, to be fair, they never did seem to care about GC.
So, either:
It is not important enough to be dealt with
They do not have the resources (human or other) to deal with the problem on GC because resources are spread thin in that area
They actually can't do anything about it
Your guess is as good as mine. You can bet it wasn't ST who made the lobbies like this in the first place though. Maybe theyre hoping someone will finally kill off GC so they can start spending money in other areas (let's face it the few people left who play GC can't be supporting ST with the funds they would consider worthwhile to keep the GC servers available).
Actually I doubt it's that dire, but you never know. Just hope that when they take to servers down to restore them they will do some much needed patching at the same time!
