Oftentimes Jeanue would appear in the Twitch chat of his targets, bragging about another successful hack with a smattering of awful, toxic language. Jeanue had managed to secure unprecedented control over the Titanfall multiplayer apparatus - utilizing something the community refers to as the 'Blacklist.' When Jeanue added your name to the 'Blacklist,' you would be automatically disconnected from any Titanfall 2 match you attempted to join, rendering the game effectively unplayable. Much is unknown about Jeanue, but there are a few things that most everyone agreed upon. The alleged culprit? A figure known only as 'Jeanue.' The game's small, dedicated streaming community suffered from frequent DDOS attacks, usually from the moment they loaded into a match. So, in early 2021, reports started to proliferate about a hacker, or a team of hackers, who had made it their mission to sabotage Titanfall 2.

This is often a recipe for disaster - Team Fortress 2 has been infamously overrun by bots as Valve has stepped away from active development - and unfortunately, the same fate came for Titanfall. But hopes that Respawn would continue to cultivate the Titanfall franchise started to wane with the insurgent success of Apex Legends in 2018, and today, the game receives limited, skeletal support from the developer. The game never quite crested the heights of other multiplayer shooters, but it established itself as something of an underground classic frequently endorsed by both FPS scholars, and a devout, fervent fanbase. Titanfall 2 was released in 2016 to glowing reviews. Let's wind the timeline back to the very beginning. All that was left was a slew of exasperating unknowables, but after spending my summer in the strange waters of Titanfall fandom, none of that was a surprise. The story had been blown to smithereens, and if the report was to be believed, multiple sources were taking me for a ride.

I closed my laptop, delirious, confused, and wounded. 'Would be nice at the very least to get the people who still think that's his real identity to shut up kek,' reads the screenshot. Had I really been hoodwinked this badly? Was I trusting the wrong people? The 'him' here apparently referred to me. I felt a twinge in the bottom of my stomach. 'Should throw him the original leads about jean,' read the screenshot of a Discord transcript, just below that brutal headline.
