Never fails, every time I read an article on this site that makes me roll my eyes its inevitably Nathan.

Yeah, alright. I wonder why Kotaku is finally talking about cheating after years and years of people reporting to them the insane amount of cheating that happens in EVERY popular game. Hell, there was even a period Riot claimed “League of Legends is unhackable” and a DOZEN cheats came out a day later.
I talk about exterminating companies CONSTANTLY.
I sincerely hope this means they’re going to go after the more toxic and hostile ones too, then. I can think of one who will remain nameless whose core designers all despised Crysis 2 so they made an aimbot available for free and used a combination of bots, hacks and cheats to put their website name all over the place…
Ubisoft would turn murder into a press release if they could move more loot boxes. Ugh.
These are all exactly the reasons I think the whole thing is a mistake.
People make game companies do things they don’t want to do ALL THE TIME. How have you not read ANY of the articles about devs decrying their own game because the moneybags forced them to do something or lose their jobs/funding. It happens -all the time- and I have no idea where you got the idea it didn’t. Most game…
We’ve always known capitalism doesn’t work. It just fails the slowest, and we’re very good at kicking the can down the road. We’re poisoning the planet, encouraging people to get sick, and the president has literally said it’s fine if people die, because they “probably” would have died anyways. We just happen to be…
It was improbable the game would do more than be underwhelming, especially to the artistic geniuses Kotaku. You got a ton of views from shitting on it, you aren’t about to make the mistake of disagreeing with the vocal minority, are you? None of the streamers who built a name on shitting on a bag as if the bag was the…
I have no doubt I’ll get shit for this but... why is this even on kotaku?
I find it interesting Kotaku is supporting this article which basically directly insults anyone who voiced a complaint about Epic’s launcher. Entire article is full of weird, unclever backhanded insults to people I assume Nathan personally dislikes.
In case anyone else also likes the thoughts, they actually made several of these ‘light novels’. The Blaster Master one was pretty good, but it didn’t really line up with the game. I guess I shouldn’t have really expected it to but I was a kid at the time. I still have three or four of these in a box somewhere. Some…
Yeah, until I worked for SCEA for a few years I had no idea either. I mean I knew about the older stuff like Gamegenie, but I had no idea people had started pulling open playstations and adding ways to hack into the system. The stuff they got away with before a few DOZEN remodels, hardware changes and bios patches...…
Nah, though I’m not 100% positive when console aim botting started, I know it was pretty rampant with the SOCOM games on PS2. I was working for SCEA at the time and you would not believe what people were willing to say and claim if they got caught cheating- all the way to “It’s my right to cheat. If people don’t like…
What’s really terrible about it is, they have no regard for the people they play with. As if everyone who had their game ruined because they were obliterated by an aimbot should just accept it’s gonna happen and be happy being fodder.
Simple fact is, cheating in single player games only harms the person doing it. They exchange the experience of playing the game and overcoming it for whatever you get from cheating... boredom? I have no idea, last time I even tried cheating was Wolfenstein 3D and I immediately regretted it because the game became…
League of Legends has a similar problem, but no one really seems to care. Makes you wonder why it would be more of an issue with FIFA?
My tolerance for hypocrasy has limits. Beyond is one of the single buggiest uodates I’ve seen in YEARS, BUT kotaku still slathers NMS in praise for what they’ve accomplished despite game breaking bugs.
The same reason morons still post clickbait youtube videos. It doesn’t matter the game itself is basically irrelevant now. It’s just become a popular thing to bitch about. It ranks up there with shitting on Disney and claiming lootboxes killed your family. Angry sheeple group together to share their unfiltered irate…
