I find them to be rare, but I consider the existence of both cheating and anti-cheat software to be a symptom of a bigger problem: shitty games and shitty game mechanics.
If cheats maximize enjoyment for the cheater playing your game, your game sucks and you should focus on retooling the game to deliver that experience without third party tools.
- manderley 3y agoThat seems entirely reductive, even weird: I don't think Counter-Strike "sucks" and "should focus on retooling the game" just because cheaters exist.
- RulerOf 3y ago>That seems entirely reductive, even weird I won't argue your assessment, but I've played and cheated in enough games to have an experienced opinion. Games can embrace designs that obviate the use of cheats, but this takes a lot of work. It's far easier to create a zero-sum multiplayer experience instead.
