Note: Before we started recording the show Stephen shared some priceless stories with us. If I still have the audio logs of that, we may need to make them available to the public. Or maybe we won’t, it might be for the better.
As far as doing something about cheating, I think the developers of the game should go to the necessary lengths to make sure everyone plays their game fairly and to make it harder for people to cheat. Online gaming is a primary reason people are buying games today. The more cheating equals the less people who are going to want to play ultimately and this means more used copies of the game ending up on ebay or at Gamestop. Developers should want to do something about it because word of mouth could get around about the cheaters on their game and that would mean less sales.
