I dunno though - without the platform and its publisher, those mods wouldn’t exist. Why can’t they be compensated as well? Or is it the percentage they’d get that was in issue?

cool - this sends a nice clear message from gamers who just play things to gamers who are so passionate about their hobby they gain a level of professionalism at something related even at the expense of their health, well-being, free time and fiscal sanity.

It was not fun and it was unfair to people that could not do it consistently in competitive racing.

So what’s bad about it? They did something great accidentally. So what? Anything that's hard and gives an advantage is a huge plus in my book.

Hopping is a tool given to you by the game. Hopping during boosts is/was the most optimal use of that tool.

This needs to be cross-posted to Jalopnik ASAP. They might enjoy this.

Ummm... what? I happen to live in the least religious country in the world. And do you know what? We’re also the country on earth that has had the longest lasting peace. Oh, and we’re also very good at caring for our animals and nature. So... I have to say that a good and functioning society doesn’t need religion or…

It survived all of the major intellectual advances of the past 2000 years, it isn’t going away. Religion and mythology came about to explain the unexplainable. We have now explained the vast majority of those phenomena, and some we couldn’t have even imagined. Still, there are people who believe dinosaurs never…

Ugh. Another “animal experimentation don’t work” article. Yes, some animal experimentation is superfluous - cosmetics for example. But that whole idea that mice (and rats and cats and chimpazee) are so different from us that the tests are pointless is wrong. They are not perfect - the ideal would be human subjects.…

Yeah, it's not like this is something that requires getting a handle on like snaking, and it's not like it's a 100% free advantage either (it's also not nearly as big of a difference). Time spent in the air while jumping is time that can't be spent turning or reacting to things like approaching green shells.

Ah, the ol' self righteousness. The downfall of most people playing 'competitively'. The poor masses that cry out "Cheap!" or "Unintended!" when someone figures out a technique that, while maybe not what the developers thought about when implementing, definitely isn't creating an unfair advantage accessible only to a…

That's like saying Enemy Step in Devil May Cry 3 was a bad idea. It was an unintended mechanic that allowed someone to jump off an enemy and thus reset their combo, allowing for the infinitely amusing combos see in the TrueStyle tournaments. Enemy Step was so popular that they made it an acquirable skill in Devil May…

Its doesnt look that hard to learn tho? Anyone who is going to be serious about being competitive will learn the tricks... Thats like saying that dunking in basketball should have been banned when players first started doing it. Its way easier than shooting the ball from midrange so thats unfair to players who cant…

I don't mean it as being disrespectful. I mean, stop crying about advanced techniques and learn to play. Fighting games have unblockable combo's, shooting games have exploitable aiming characteristics on some guns. Pro's learn and noobs cry about them. With the chaos that is MK though your little 2 second boost isn't…

You probably hate wavedashing too, you filthy casual /sarcasm

Just curious how it "breaks" the game. "Breaks"—especially from a developer standpoint—generally refers to it not working. Not unbalanced, not in need of a tweak. Broken denotes that it doesn't work at all, or is logic breaking (ie: insta-win races without actually racing, etc).

so human ingenuity = game breaking?

exactly. It's not like he's teleporting to the finish line, it gets him a second or 2 extra time on his lap. Not that big of a deal.

I'm guessing you never played Halo 2. Quad Shotting, BXRing, BXBing, grenade jumping, and grenading weapon spawns all made that game absolutely incredible and extremely competitive. I still do understand your point though and it's ultimately up to the developers whether or not they want to leave it in the game.

That isn't good logic at all
