Die Shrink 56: Online Hackers – Are Multiplayer Shooters Doomed?
Added 2021-09-24 10:00:07 +0000 UTCWe've been dealing with hackers & griefers since the old Halo 1, SOCOM, and the old Metal of Honor Games. They've been around, and they're still around. So if cheaters aren't going away, are games getting better...or worse at dealing with them?
We discuss our oldest memories of cheaters, greifers, and exploiters; and also what can be done to stop them. At this point, we aren't afraid to propose some radical barriers to cheating.

I cheated in Cyberpunk to unlock the best car in the game then I uninstalled the cheats

2021-09-24 16:03:20 +0000 UTCTom and Dan hate to admit it but on some games I played in the past (not now) I actually paid a hacker to level up because simply everyone that met was doing it for competitive advantage. I just got sick of losing to people with superior armor and arms.
