Cheater downloads for cheating on games.

I don't know that there is a whole lot Yahoo can do about it. They could quit advertising the links fo the cheats but people who want to cheat will find them anyway.

I used to play Literati on there and a lot of people used a cheat app. There isn't any way for Yahoo to know what you are running on your PC to stop anyone from doing it.

how do they produce a cheater for pool?

How funny is Literati to play if you need to cheat? ZzZzZzZZ if you ask me.

hi Deborah46
welcome to A2K

I find somebody has already used the same pairs of sexy legs for avatar.

Do you mind?

Deborah doesn't mind if Lola doesn't mind.

How funny is Literati to play if you need to cheat? ZzZzZzZZ if you ask me. <---- it's not specific to that game... the majority of internet games have cheaters as players and I don't understand why they find doing nothing fun... but, oh well... it really becomes a problem when you pay for the game... as Deborah said

Honor is a flexible concept.

yeh very flexible

Every single online gaming community has a bunch of Cheaters in their ranks. I remember EDGE Magazine conducted a review with one cheater who said that he cheated because he knew others were cheating. He said he found though, instead of playing the games to it's set of structured rules, he would mod those rules to his own standings, to a lazier set of rules (EG. Infinite Health) so that he could beat the other cheaters. It had become a game within a game, albeit one that genuine players weren't in on.
Thank God for Punkbuster, that's all I can say. If it wasn't for that, every game I play would be gathering dust by now: Halo, BF1942, Blockland, Quake3, No One Lives Forever 2... You still find a cheat every now and then, but that's the way the world works. It happens in real life (Athletics, football), so it's gonna happen in the anonymity of online play.

why would the game companies publish cheating magazines if they didn't want you to cheat
I am speaking from a long commitment to the GameBoy line of products. The company itself sells magazines were you can find cheat codes

game cheaters
it will always be a problem on the net with cheating because there is no way to police people who are virtual. Although I like the idea SlyEnemy mentioned of the cheaters trying to beat themselves - I wonder if there are sites with specific sections where people can log what cheats they're using?

The game companies "want" you to cheat?

Doubtful.

The game companies want to make money?

Very likely.

Re: game cheaters


this is very true. i agree with that statment... if they didnt want you to cheat they would not have made the codes, nor would they have made the magizines.



this is completely different. using hacks in a game to win and using cheat codes that were created by the company to enchance game play is something completely different. i find that when i play i game i do my best to try and beat a game before using any codes, then if there any codes that i think would be fun to use I will use them. But find hacks, and glitches in a game to give yourself a better edge at beating other people is just wrong. Thats unsportsmen.

from a programmers point of veiw, I don't put down what these people are doing. I completely understand why some of them do it. I crack games all the time for stuff, just to see how it's coded and such and if it helps me in the long run so much the better. you are right however that the codes are in a different line of the play, originally the programmer put tem in to the games to help them see game flow as they were in production. they still do it when beta testing stuff, Runescape had a lot of cheats that the beta testers had tho give them infinate money and such, the problem with this is that when they get into the actual gameplay that's no longer beta they sometimes overlook these cheats and leave them in, or when they do overwrite the cheats they leave a bad programming hole allowing a cunning person access to things like that. although a lot of times these people are loser script kiddies who got an app off the internet or from a friend, the funny part of it is that if you ever find a forum that has it, you'll find more trojans that actual cheat apps...heh serves them right...well that's all I had to say...
