Well, this isn't what I was expecting to write about today: recently, an issue with 2025's juggernaut extraction shooter ARC Raiders was discovered that led to the game silently recording private DM messages between Discord users.
The issue in question first came to light when computer engineer Timothy D. Meadows reported its existence in a blog post, explaining how ARC Raiders logged player DMs in detail. "During gameplay of ARC Raiders, private Discord Direct Message (DM) conversations between two users were found being written in plaintext to a local game log file," he wrote.
