Some Be stars were found to emit very bright and extremely hard thermal X-rays. This so-called γ Cas -star category is rapidly growing, showing that the phenomenon is far from being uncommon and its consequences on Be population feedback should be examined. The origin of this X-ray peculiarity is however much debated. In this contribution, we review the most recent observational clues and derive constraints on the cause of the phenomenon: properties of these stars (multiplicity status, photometric variability), X-ray reaction to disk changes, impact of stripped-star companions on the X-ray emission,…
