Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't know what to make of this.
I was into Warmahordes during 2nd edition. Fell out due to our group attendance waning.
I loved the game. I still have my Khador and Everblight armies packed away.

Is Steamforged going to absorb Privateer Press? What does Privateer Press have besides the Warmachine IPs? Is Privateer Press going to dissolve?

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

That's really interesting. I don't know anything about Steamforged Games, but seeing that they are UK-based I don't get a particularly good feeling about this.

The statement on Privateer Press basically explains that PP is working with Steamforged on Warmachine+Hordes content.

Privateer does have other games like Monsterpocalypse. However, my guess would be that there's a gradual takeover in process.
