What kind of pathetic bastard pays good money to cheat in video games? Well, apparently this guy does and now he has an entire article dedicated to telling his tale. :(

"I was running around the map. I see a guy, press my key, instantly snap on, killed him, then snapped to a few other guys and killed them. I'm like, ‘I love this hack.' His clan noticed that his scores were suddenly a lot better and they figured out what was going on. He was angry about being caught, hopped onto his team's server and killed his teammates 13-0. They banned him.

This guy is a pig fucker. People like him are why i don't play very many games online anymore. I have fun knowing i play clean and i either kick ass or i learn from the ass kicking i get handed and do better next time.
 
Gah! I read the entire article before I realized it was on Kotaku. We really need to stop giving crap sites like that traffic.
 
Even if he is a fucking toilet bug , its an interesting read. We should all try to figure out what makes these idiots tick. I think that cheating in general is not taken seriously enough by publishers. Once a game is out and the first month is over , to them there interest in the game drops significantly because we all know the majority of game sales happen within the first few weeks.

This leaves developers holding the bag trying to budget in people/teams to deal with it but if you wanna survive as a development studio you have to keep making new games so they can't devote large teams to fixing the issue. Its often left to the community to "figure it out". I wouldn't mind that as much if there was more effort put into the tools we are given to deal with cheaters.

I still love online games and nothing makes me feel better than to fucking smoke cheating idiots like this guy. I mean he paid for his cheating and even after that him getting killed by someone like me? Just makes the taste even sweeter.
 
They are miserable pieces of crap, and therefore want you to be miserable as well. They enjoy heaping suffering on others.
They tried to make cheating out like it was an addiction, or like he was forced to do it. Utter and complete BS.
 
As has been said before, leave it to Kotaku to try and sympathize with a rampant cheater. What a scumbag, considering how much money these people spend and how it more or less renders a server completely unusable, there is something there far more than your run of the mill stress release. I'm not equating these people with kitten torturers, but there is definitely something sociopathic about it.

Amen, honestly when I think of that word I think of pricks like that, not gay people. Reminds me of that episode of southpark as I honestly believe the definition of the word should be changed as they did.
 
Yea, I'm not going to read this. That quote is more than enough to show what kind of people these people are. He's angry about getting found out, boo hoo.

I don't think prick means gay people, it means penis doesn't it? Didn't see that episode, what did they change it to?

Reading comprehension my friend... The word in question was "faggot," not prick.

I'm still wondering when faggot went from being a piece of firewood to being a derogatory term for homosexual. Seriously, the Brits use fag in a more appropriate fashion than we Americans.
 
The point of the original article, and of Steve's post, is to increase business for the professional aimbot coder. For every self-righteous post that damns aimbot users to hell there are 10 folks who go out and buy it for the $150/year all access pass.

The reason the software exist is because there is a demand for it, because lots of money is made with it, and because the devs are either unable or unwilling to fix their code to prevent such issues.

So yes, Steve just made AA lots of money. #h5yr!
 
No skill scrub using an aimbot. I don't even care enough to read his tale. He is just one of many who come and go and get no real sense of accomplishment.

woops, typo. Forgive me as I'm one of those people who uses prick more often than faggot to discribe someone who is an inconsiderate ass. :p
 
Kotaku, every article I've ever read there has been made to create controversy or support an unsupportable point because it picked up page hits.

I'd read the same thing on many other websites and consider it, but simply being on Kotaku makes it fluff/BS/whatever. Everything they post is totally self serving either in pagehits or some other deal they've made is my guess. I'd auto-turn down anything submitted containing an article from them.
 
I know everyone is raging over what this guy did, but when I read the title of the article the first thing that came to my mind was "How is this difference than the real money auction house in Diablo 3??" Ok so it's a bit different, as you can't just make everyone die, but still... people pay money to enjoy a game the way THEY want to, end of story. Shit happened with my playing Portal 2, people used cheats to get to the exit instantly without solving puzzles, I simply left the game, and started again trying to find someone who didn't cheat.. I found someone... who was nice enough to ask if it was ok to cheat.
 
One of the worst articles I've read in a long time... even for Kotaku it's bad. It's written from a "cheating isn't really that bad" point of view. We're supposed to feel sorry for the guy, but all I want to do is smash him in the face. Him and the article writer.
 
I use cheats every now and then. Go ahead and ban me for shit talking boom your sever is dead bitch! Ban me because I have a hard on for pilots in BF3. Boom I am sniping you out of the cockpit! Get butt hurt all you want.RUMADBRAH!

And BF3 is by all accounts very hard to play due to the cheating and the attitude that goes along with it. Grats, you've ruined the game for yourself by driving people off and everyone else. I have to wonder if devs don't count on it since they can't monetize games effective (unlike TF2), so they let the cheaters take over and drive everyone out for them so they'll be itching for the next release....which will be relatively cheat free for 6-12 months and then be rampant again...just in time for the next version of the game.


Basically screwing yourself when you buy games just to undermine them.
 
You can never make a cheater happier than by staying on the server and ranting at them.

They don't care about skill or their quality of play, so telling them they cheat because they suck does nothing.

They don't care that they ruin it for everyone else; that's the point.

Most cheaters are there for the sweet nuggets of rage that players are more than willing to drop everywhere. If you want to avoid cheaters, play on servers with active admins or just leave. Getting mad at cheaters will only make it worse.
 
Just a quick question. How do they overcome punkbuster? Wouldn't the program detect this obvious hack? Has valve VAC been hacked yet?
 
AFAIK, those hacks that really work are not free. So these cheaters are paying big money just to piss others off. Which is a really retarded thing to do, yet these kids are doing it.

I guess either they are one of those rick kids with too much parent's money to spend, or they have some serious mental issues.
 
I run a TF2 server (plus a few other game servers) and assholes like this one are the reason that I only play on my servers. I finally got sick and tired of asshats like this jerk coming in an ruining a good game for everyone else and decided to 'level the playing field'. If a hacker is stupid enough to show up on one of my servers, my admins are allowed to play with them like a cat with a rat. The rest of the time they are to remain anonymous and are not allowed to use the 'tools' I have installed for them to make their job easier. Players have no idea that an admin is on unless some idiot tries to ruin it for everyone else, then the fun begins. One night four of us were on and a poor hacker dropped in to entertain us. The 'bombs' were dropping so fast that I'm sure they had no fucking idea what was happening to them.

The admins get to fuck with the idiots until they rage off or they get bored with it, then they are added to the ban list. For some reason this is more effective than just kicking and banning them. I think they don't like being humiliated in front of everyone else so they don't bother returning. They are used to making people miserable, not making them laugh while they themselves are humiliated.

Ego is everything to these assholes. I shit on their ego and laugh like a hyena while doing so. :D

This theory is flawed by the fact that pay cheats are out day one of any big release. There is no 6-12 month cheat free window that you speak of at release.

There is only the period when evenbalance casts a huge net, and the cheat makers scramble to update.

Two best things that guy can can do if he's really done cheating

Didn't say cheat free. But they actually patch enough to break the cheats and require re-working of them enough that you can get some relative peace from them.

With battefield games you get 6-12 months of attention from EA/DICE then they more or less throw it away and do months between patches or even years if there's anymore patches. Because they've moved everyone over to the new game they are developing.

It's not really a theory, they've done it about 4 times now. BF2 and BF2142 are an excellent example of how screwed up it gets since they put them out so close together on the same basic engine and stopped development for 2142 very fast.

I don't own BF3 and I didn't play BFBC2 very much at all. But BF1942, was probably the longest stint because it had 2 expansions they had to deal with and a reputation to build with lots of mods. 2002-2003 were releases. 2004 Vietnam came out. BF2 came out in 2005, it had 4 expansions 2 in 2005 and 2 in 2006. BF2142 came out in 2006, with one expansion in 2007 patching for this game was much less than BF2 overall.

Every single one of them had huge amounts of cheaters in them, then the new game came out and most people moved on to new game. So cheaters went with them, they can't troll empty servers to get their jollies. Patches would be there to deal with game issues and cheats for 6-12 months, and repeat the cycle.

BF2s big cheats were infinite supply drops or jeep drops and using them to crush people or crash the server. That thing went on forever, without admined servers there was nothing you could do. They more or less abandon previous game once new one comes out, with the last "final" patch often coming out right as the new game hit. Because they don't want you to think they abandoned the game, because they JUST put out a patch. You can expect lots of patches in the new game if you buy it...obviously.
 
I find it hard to believe that the anti cheat systems can't detect these blatant hacks instantly.

I'm sure if developers had more funding they could devote large enough teams to create better anti-hacking tools. But like I said in a previous post , development studio's can't devote large amounts of money to this purpose since they survive on a game to game basis. I'm sure publishers have no interest in doing it anyway even though they could.

Cheating on all platforms is getting out of hand but on the PC in recent years its been on the rise.
