you don't need to work for the company. all those cheat programs made for C&C and Diablo and Counterstrike are not made by the companies are they? and why did you claim my statements as your own?


> in other words i would compete not by making my game better but by making their game worse. in other words, sabotage. why do game companies let people get away with this? if game companies don't sue cheaters then we should sue game companies for not giving us properly working multiplayer which we paid for. if we can't sue, we can always boycott.
