OT: Blizzard Entertainment disabled around 20,000 accounts of cheaters

If 20,000 people are cheating, the environment is so diluted that I'd call the 'cheat' a 'mod' rather than a 'cheat.' Not that it makes it any less pathetic.

***craft games blow anyway.

LOL, I never knew that. Pretty cool of them to put that in, was that Apogee, I only played the demo -- good gameplay, but they did lose interest with the blocky graphics. At least it didn't give me motion sickness like Half-Life. Seriously, I can't play these types of games.

Winning can be fun, losing can be depressing. People with no ethics may see cheating as another tool. After all the next guy is likely to be cheating.

Warchild has unlearned a lot, and teaches me things I do not want to know. He would play MOO in "GOD" mode with cheats and enjoy taunting the AIs.

Well, if you are playing Warcraft on Blizzard.com, odds are good he is.

IMHO, someone older than 8 years old should be begining to conquer that feeling. I started my first PBW game. I'm against an organic race, a psycic race, a temporal race, and a religious race.

I'm playing stock Jarenar.

I have 3 small planets.

I'm planning a noble death for my race, not galactic conquest

Oh wait, cheating against the AI? Well, if I only intend to play for a half hour sure. Even playing well against the AI is exploiting it.

"So this is my sollution: Game makers; don't put cheatcodes in games!!
(offcourse you still can HEX edit the game, but I think most of the cheating could be avoided if they won't include cheatcodes)."

99% of the time the cheats in MP are NOT cheat codes. These gennerally are disabled for MP, and if they are active anyone can use them.

The map hack for example wasn't a cheat code.
