Problems That Have Plagued 'Titanfall'
Kotaku remarks in its report that "Titanfall" being pulled out from digital storefronts is not "particularly surprising." This is due to the numerous problems players have experienced with the game throughout the years.
"'Titanfall' has been plagued with myriad problems-most troubling of which has been widespread hacking throughout the game's multiplayer," according to the Kotaku report.
Both the original game as well as "Titanfall 2" have fallen victims to multiple DDOS attacks. These attacks have caused players' games as well as 'Titanfall's' servers to crash.
According to Kotaku, it was also erroneously claimed that "some security flaws could permanently jeopardize the health of your PC." Those claims have been disproved by Respawn Entertainment.
