They aren't login into the game at all. Someone is sending packets of information to deny access to the services hosted on the servers. As Sjol stated below, the gross of that traffic comes from unsecured IoT devices and even malware infected PCs... Here's a video explaining what a botnet is, maybe it can help you to understand how all this works , sometimes it can be a bit cryptic for people who are not into cybersec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQyaaK1S7WM

For the same reason, is next to impossible to identify a culprit without a forensic investigation, and that can take days, weeks, months... Even your own pc could have been compromised by malware from somewhere and sending packets to the servers without your knowledge!
