Embark Studios has rushed out a hotfix after it was reported that Arc Raiders had been quietly recording players' private Discord DMs.
Engineer Timothy D. Meadows reports on what he calls "serious privacy and security violations" connected to last year's juggernaut shooter, explaining that messages sent between two players were being captured by the Arc Raider's Discord SDK and "written in full to a plaintext log file stored locally on the user's machine," unbeknownst to the players themselves. This was notably not a default, but rather the effects of linking your Discord account to Arc Raiders (you can unlink it in the settings menu).
