Re:Guild Wars 2 distributed spyware in order to detect cheaters by Bajeezus on Monday April 16, 2018 @06:19PM (#16853366)
I seriously hope that this is a joke comment. Otherwise, you may want to step away from video games for awhile...

At the same time, you can't expect to understand what people are willing to give up until you understand how bad cheaters ruin something they care about.

"But privacy!" is going to fall on deaf ears otherwise. Just like "it's just video games lol."

I'm sure their last bit was in jest. If you've never wanted to upload a punch through the internet, you probably haven't experienced cheating.

I've never understood having sympathy for people that go out of their way to ruin the enjoyment of up to millions of other human beings. You honestly think those people add value to society?

I haven't actually played competitive online games for close to 10 years but no, it definitely wasn't a joke. If you think that's crazy, you should see what I think should happen to people who litter when they hike!
