Page 1 of 'Elite Dangerous' Skynet takeover?

A bug in Elite dangerous recently caused the games AI to create unfair super weapons impossible to beat, and also hunt down the games human players. 

The games developer has had to strip out the feature that is causing the problem until the issue is fixed, after a huge backlash by players getting pulled into fights with  ships armed with crazy weaponary that would cut them to pieces.

I thought one of the main complaints from "l33t" gamers everywhere was about AI that wasn't challenging?

I suppose some games go from challenging to frustrating.

I remember a brilliant game I played years ago called 'Beyond good and evil', but I could not beat the end of game baddie, because the main character 'Jade' who you are playing,  gets temporary poisoned in the battle and this makes the control pad reverse all the button functions, and so could never win out, hence never saw the end of game cutscene via the game.

I had to eventually watch the end a few years later, on a youtube video.

Frustrating or what?
