Some of you guys obviously take video games a tad too seriously... That is all I will say.
And are cheaters really poisoning a developer's work? No, as long as the developers get proper compensation. Maybe if one is a mod developer, he can say that, but for people making games to earn their paychecks, it hardly matters, as long as they get that paycheck. Video games are controlled by the big media these days. They could care less about online cheating, as long as the cheaters buy their product!
