- noodlesUK 6y ago> Subscription prices for users began at around $10 a day, and up to $200 a month. What? 10*(1 month) > 200...
- cmehdy 6y agoLikely daily and monthly fees such that monthly is encouraged. The wording is definitely awkward though.
- malux85 6y ago> Kunshan police found and destroyed 17 cheats and arrested 10 people in connection with the ring. Ah ha! A cheat! (holds bit of paper). Quick, burn it! Excellent, one more cheat eliminated from the world.
- wodenokoto 6y agoCan someone expand on why cheats are worth $200/month to consumers? Is it a way to buy bling that would otherwise cost thousands or?
- rnestler 6y agoFrom the article > With players able to win millions in gaming tournaments around the world, a crackdown on cheating has intensified in recent years. Apparently cheats were used to win tournament prize money.

- gambiting 6y agoThey were selling cheats, which can(I don't know if it did here) involve selling software ilegally. So no different than busting someone selling illegal copies of windows in the old days.
