The history of hacking video games is nearly as old as gaming itself. Ever since the hobby took off, gamers have found ways to crack open their favorite consoles or games and make them do stuff that they weren’t supposed to do. Usually, this is all done in good fun and serves as a great way for gamers to get the most out of their favorite pastime.
However, there’s a dark side of hacking that can earn someone anything between a slap on the wrists and serious jail time. While most hacking and modding efforts exist in a legal gray area, it can be a gateway to digital and physical theft. Which is exactly what happened to a group of gamers now known as Xbox Underground.
These gamers let their enthusiasm for hacking run out of control, and ended up suffering some pretty steep legal and financial penalties. While their sense of pride and accomplishment in their hacking definitely played a role in things spiraling out of control, the money they were making hand over fist certainly didn’t help things either.
This is the very real story of how a group of gamers went from messing around with the original Xbox to creating a digital empire. This is how a group of people decided that their actions were all in good fun, while they were stealing millions of dollars of intellectual property and profiting from ruining online gaming for millions of people. This is the story of how the underground world of Xbox hacking was brought to light and justice.
