Yet, its considered an exploit and they tell you not to use exploits. Being in the code or not doesnt matter. You know what it is. Dont justify cheating.
Its like no one has ever heard of "rules as intended" .
Mistakes happen, even in coding a video game, doesnt mean you get to freely use the exploit. "Because its there" is just an excuse to justify your wrong doing. You know it wrong, just dont cheat.
Its like I tell people when playing D&D, yeah you can cheat and tell me you rolled a hit instead of a miss or tell me more damage than you actually rolled, but really you are just hurting yourself by cheating
Adding this to the ToS:
When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:
- Use exploits, cheats, undocumented features, design errors or problems in an EA Service.
Is EA admitting that they launch broken shit games filled with exploits, that they try to do everything they can to nickel and dime their customers, and they use that as an excuse to not take responsibility for not having proper quality assurance for their games. Any other developer worth their salt would patch the game and move on, because they would realize it's their fault the exploit is in the game to begin with.
Punishing a player that paid $60 for the game, that actually likes the game and plays it in front of an audience, for exploiting something that is in the game due to the developer's ineptitude is all kinds of wrong.
And yeah, you're right, mistakes do happen. Which is why they should admit fault for the exploit being in the game, and not punish players that abuse the exploit. If there's an exploit in a game, it's not the player's fault, it's on the developer. Exploiting and taking advantage of a video game's flawed mechanics is not the same as cheating. Cheating is when someone modifies the code of a game (adding tons of EXP or rare items), or injects code into the game to modify how it behaves (wall hacks, aimbots). Comparing an exploit in a video game to cheating at a board game is also one of the funniest things I've read all day.
Using an exploit to farm items in a game, AKA: taking advantage of the game's mechanics, is not cheating, period. He's playing the game as it was launched.
They fucked up hard when they're making
Destiny look good by comparison.
