Video Game Cheaters Are in an Eternal Arms Race🎙Darknet Diaries Ep. 115: Player Cheater Dev Spy

Ғылым және технология

Some video game players will do anything for an advantage, and that demand has created huge underground markets for cheat software, game exploits, and even cheat subscription packages. When game developers patch the cheats, the cheat makers find other work-arounds so as not to lose their customers. This arms race has been going on for as long as video games have been played on the Internet. This episode explores both sides of the coin.

I was able to hide the VM and run the games eventually though.

    Modern online games have been sold as Esports to the public for a while now. I used to compare cheats to steroid use by athletes, but anyone who plays these games will tell you it's much worse. You can play a game of tennis with strangers at the park, but would have to be paranoid to suspect they were taking performance enhancing drugs. If you are just someone who likes tennis, it would be like 30% of your tennis games being against steroid users. You wouldn't be able to play tennis anymore. You may have spent your whole life playing tennis. I was waiting to see Jack cover this, because it really is a white hat black hat warzone, but what's weird is how these two groups are fighting over the public, and the public are intimately involved. Getting hacked is a rare and outlandish thing to most people, but playing against cheaters is the new normal if you play these games. The answer is hiding in this video. Even the cheat developers have figured out that anonymity is a problem; you need someone's real identity. You don't need to sue kids, just permanently ban them; ban their face, not their account. The fact cheat developers need to keep patching the cheats proves the developers can and do plug these holes, so they would only need to catch a buyer once. Eventually, there won't be enough buyers left to cover the Lamborghini repayments. I would pay triple for a game that demanded my ID to play it, it's gotten to that point.

I loved the game so much i became the counter cheater. If there was a cheater i would boot them or do this assasination kill thing to them which was only present in the campaign lol.

    Damn. Kids are paying cash to cheat in a game now? You know when we old-school gamers were desperate to win in the 90's, we just read gaming magazines to find out tons of cheats for multiple games. Some we didn't even own yet. It was like 5 dollars a mag for a little section in the back with at least 20 or more cheats across several games. And when the internet became more detailed with all of this info from the past and present? Free if the connection was great. I didn't even know that cheats still existed in games until seeing this episode. But now that I think about it.... the tides have turned technically. Now the devs are cheating the players. Funny shit. Can you imagine an EVO competition having an in depth podcast for all of this? That shit would be hilarious. Billy Mitchell levels of nonsense.

At the same time the devs can show the non-cheating-players that they are working hard against cheats and the game-provider maybe is also learning something new when going through the cheats itself.

    Cheaters have been in the gaming industry for a while. Now more than ever. As we want to believe that these developers are trying to do the right thing, most of the time its all driven by money. As stated some developers make more money making/fixing/tuning cheats to the point you don't know if they are playing both sides. 'H'ACTIVSION is the biggest example of it. Most of the current streamers right now are using either private cheats, DMA, or Cronus matched with REWASD and other scripts. Instead of being the example on bans and strategizing how to stop cheaters and streaming cheaters; they whitelist them so they wont get banned. Will it stop the cheating industry? No. But companies like Activision with a surplus of money should be setting up industry standard with security and anit-cheats. But having cash tournaments with sponsorship from the game company while having cheating streamers on it, is a bad look and discouragement for any true gamer.

    Sending someone so many personal information can lead to a lot of problems. In modern world you shouldn't send your own phone number to a stranger. Why should you trust a company with you PI what earns money by ruining gaming experience of everybody for the profit. Why can't they just get a loan in my name with this information? It's very dangerous.

    I dont get why devs dont make their own cheats, that way you profit from the game and from the cheats from the game. and you can have code in the cheats, so you know whos hacking and match them with other hackers.

    i love to hack offline games, but feel there is a very clear wall between offline and online hacks. as a DayZ player i have died to some absolutely STUPID hackers, and it boils my blood. how could i do that to another person, the game actually ebcomes so much less fun without the actual skill involved with other players. if i wanted to MOW DOWN someone, id play Far Cry or Dead Island. offline i like to generate extra coins, or have infinite stamina, these kind of things. it can make for a faster, smoother gameplay experience on limits that possibly make grinding an actual requirement in a game! hah!

    I think the actors were not bad but could do better. The German souding man sounded like the people on German TV and Documentaries who read bureaucratic quotes, like in extra 3. They have a sort of monotone, impersonal voice, when they read the quotes from the council or a big corporation. It's like a quote that is a response to a question from the general public. You know what I mean? The German voice actor can try to read all the messages, comprehend the story very well, and talk in his own words. Then it may sound more personal and like his or her own story.
