Ark: Survival Evolved makers offer $100 bounty for exploits

Snitches get stitches, but it turns out they also get paid. The makers of Ark: Survival Evolved , the Early Access survival game with ridable dinosaurs, are offering bounties of $100 to anyone who can provide them with information on hacks that impact gameplay or server stability. The bounty has actually been on the table for awhile—there’s a mention of it in a Steam forum post from last week—but the first reward was handed out yesterday, so I guess people are suddenly taking the bounty a little more seriously. The cash went to a user by the name of ZeroDay(++), who yesterday afternoon reported “a potential hack/exploit which could force servers to crash unexpectedly, as well as have other unintended side-effects.” The exploit was reproduced internally and confirmed, after which the 100 bucks was sent via PayPal.
