> > to do that wouldn't you have to have access to their sourcecode? the only way I can see that happening is to be employed by them. so you'd be wrecking your own game.


> 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?

no, but the fault has to be in the sourcecode for the trainers to work. If the company wants to take them out you really can't do anything.

As for claiming your statement, I did not do so on purpose and you have my apology on record.

> > > 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.

You could. the other company would then do the same to you and you wouldn't really get anyware as far as industrial relations go. You bought the game. they sell not to one person but anyone who wants to buy, this brings the onus onto the customer. You don't like it, you don't buy it, Its not our problem. You can boycott but you need a lot of people to do it, else they aren't even going to notice a bleep on the radar.
