Zero is a customer service representative for one of the biggest video game cheat providers in the world. To him, at first, I was just another customer. He told me that the site earns approximately $1.25 million a year, which is how it can afford customer service representatives like him to answer questions over TeamSpeak. His estimate is based on the number of paying users online at any given time, the majority of whom, like me, paid for cheats for one game at $10.95 a month. Some pay more for a premium package with cheats for multiple games.

Super Artikel, danke für den Link. Ich war mir nicht bewusst dass das schon ein richtiges Geschäft geworden ist.

Ich finde es ja sehr ironisch, dass auch die Anbieter von Cheats schon DRM verwenden. :D

Spannender Artikel, dankesehr. Beim Passus:
Zitat
"Their last 10 Steam accounts have been banned, and the game is on sale for $3, so they’ll buy 10 copies for $30 on 10 different accounts and they’ll keep cheating.”
... da greift man sich echt nur mehr ans Hirn :bash:

“Punkbuster is basically defeated,” Slayer said. “If I write cheats and give them away on a public forum I can have my cheat up and running in 20 seconds because I found out exactly what they detected. If I was smart I would build that into my cheat and have my cheat fix itself on the fly, which isn’t a stretch. Call of Duty dropped Punkbuster for a reason.”
Interesting ... ja Hölle, super Artikel.
