I hope they will switch their registrar. That's just unprofessional.
I used to not like Funko Pop, but that changes today. I now loathe them.
All my homies hate Funko Pop
At first I was like "WTF does an indie games site have to do with Funko?" then I Googled it...
Looks like they hosted a BUNCH of infringing games, so Funko, instead of doing the righteous thing and sending them a takedown request, just nuked the whole domain...
And this nuke should cost them dearly, as there are so many Devs and Artists affected by it.
Thanks, I was super confused for a bit!

Who is the next clown in the circus?
Somehow I feel like the cloudflare one is not in the same category. This is the first I heard about it, and end users don't care about logs at all. I doubt there's many businesses that even noticed or cared that they lost 4 hours of logs.
Right, but we need clowns. I accept any dumpster fire. :D No seriously, I agree with you. I didn't pay any attention to how severe the issue was and just made a list from recent known issues I've heard.
Especially when Cloudflare is super transparent about their incident reports.

Could Funko as a company be any shittier? 🤔
Yes, let's hope they're not
any estimates on lost sales numbers?
An all out attack on thousands of people's lively hoods without warning, how will they ever get out of thi...oh wait, it's America, right, they'll not only not face punishment, they might even get a pat on the back.
@HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml Is this "abuse", deliberate action instead of an AI-generated mistake?
The choice to use "AI" was deliberate. That's malicious enough.
now now, it's not necessarily malicious, it can just be extreme incompetence.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
