Revoking access to digital services is as much theft as piracy is - it's not.
> Of course the reality is, cheaters are paying to buy the game again when they get caught, so there’s no actual incentive for activision to actually stop cheaters, just to make them pay again. Which is why they ban the single player mode as well - it’s in their interests to encourage repurchasing
You've gone off the deep end into conspiracy theory land here i think.
- shkkmo 4y agoYou are misusing the term "conspiracy theory", there is no conspiracy alleged here, just that a single company is behaving shadily given the incentives. The trend toward dismissing anything one disagrees with as a "conspiracy theory" is going to rob the term of any meaning.
- maccard 4y ago> there is no conspiracy alleged here, just that a single company is behaving shadily given the incentives. This is the equivalent of "I'm just saying" > The trend toward dismissing anything one disagrees with as a "conspiracy theory" is going to rob the term of any meaning. No, I'm not dismissing anything I disagree with. I'm dismissing the idea that activision ban cheaters from their single player games to encourage cheaters to repurchase as a conspiracy theory.
- shkkmo 4y agoIt isn't an conspiracy theory because no conspiracy was alleged. Something can be incorrect without being a conspiracy theory. Criticize the assertion about why activison bans cheaters all you like, but don't do it by calling it something it isn't just to smear the idea.
