As Upton explains, the chat box in New World is effectively an HTML container, and the messages themselves are code inside that container. The sausages aren't as huge an issue as the fact that a player can send a single line of code in the chat which, when a player hovers over it in the chat box, will crash their game.
In a new video this morning, MMO YouTuber Josh Strife Hayes showcased the issue with fellow MMO YouTuber Callum Upton. Our representative confirmed the team was aware of the problem, and we'll update this story should AGS comment further. We reached out to Amazon this morning for comment on this issue. It seems New World's chat allows for HTML code, but it doesn't quite stop there. While this is seemingly innocuous, the fact that this is possible is down to how the chat works. Reddit users noticed that the chat box could be manipulated using a few lines of code to start posting pictures of, say, the in-game sausage icon. Intrepid MMO players are finding myriad ways that New World can be broken, and while this latest one is slightly humourous (and not necessarily unique to New World), it could have massive implications for gameplay and security.
