It’s a co-op PvE game I don’t understand why cheating is such a concern that we need to allow malware to fight it.
Cheating completely ruined my Red Dead Redemption 2 Online experience. Cheating there was so bad that people would just move everyone on the server to a single location then spawn hundreds of cougars on top of them. You'd just be riding around doing missions minding your own business, then BAM! Mountain of cougars on top of you. It was constant for a couple weeks, so I just stopped.
I guess my point is that even if there's no incentive to cheat in a co-op game, people will anyway because they're dickheads.
Because cheating the progression could affect the monetization.
If I blitz through the game and unlock everything with cheats, I'm much less likely to stick around and spend on the premium armor and battle passes. The point of the daily orders and slow progression is to make the game a habit, which increases the likelihood that someone will spend by increasing the number of chances they have to do so.
Hi so it's like if after paying good money to enter disneyland, Disneyland still forced everyone through a gift shop and I stepped over the rope. Except in this example, I bought Disneyland and I own it and they still think they can tell me what to do while I use it.
It’s more like you bought a ticket to Disney and keep cutting everyone in line and get mad when you’re told you can’t do that, but you can pay more for a fast pass that will allow you to get into a shorter line if you’d like.
Also, you trying to say you’ve purchased the entire studio and the servers the game runs on? Cuz a game license is not that. You don’t own Disney. You own a pass to allow you in.
