I believe its illegal to do so in China.

this makes me happy
they should arrest cheaters too

>they should gas all chinese people*
ftfy

They tried that in the 60's and 70's but everyone got all upset for some reason.

Not OP but could you explain a little further on this?
Like, is it illegal because it falls under "reverse engineering" and is prosecuted in China, or are video game cheats fully illegal?

Pretty sure it would; be illegal anywhere; unsolicited network activity with clear intention to cause harm.

>legality in a country run by communist committee

Oh OK that makes sense.
I guess it would be fine if the cheat developers reverse engineered the protocol and tested the cheat on their local "instance" of pubg. The blame would then reside on the players using the cheats, which I find more agreeable.

It's a huge stretch of words to assume that cheat development universally causes harm because legal definition of harm can vary.

>Fucking cheaters, hope they all get arrested

>>write legal software
You mean write illegal software?

>People convicted of disrupting computer networks face five years’ imprisonment or more under Chinese law.

Users interrupt networks not developers

Developers developing software specifically for those ends and profiting off of it.

No thanks, I love Chinkpads.

fake news, the image is about malaysian gamblers being arrested

>certain combinations of 1's and 0's are illegal

>certain movements of atoms are illegal

...

what vlets write software?

The retards who try to go through the unity tutorial
Now go back

>Playing PUBG

I see no downsides.

csgo cheaters next pls

>Putting your older combination of atoms inside a more recent combination of atoms is illegal.

>making cheats is modyfying software you bought
>GPL is all about modyfying software you bought
>china is communism
>china arrests cheat makers
>so communism is against GPL
Checkmate, shitposters

China is a hybrid system of communism and fascism. This is to be expected.

It's china, everything is illegal there

When did the world become such pussies?

2001

>>Write legal code
Is actually any code ilegal? And if so, why? And what could moraly be considered legal and not?

As someone who worked with the chinese, all they had to do was to give a car to some judge or just pay the chief of police a couple grand and move on.
These guys were amateurs or poorfags.

If I can pay to get a high ranking in the food and safety shitty score which kills more people in there than anything I sure can pay to make some video game cheats.

We already knew that because the Chinese' favorite thing is violating the GPL.

>they should gas all chinese """"people""""
ftfy

...

Then why aren't gun manufacturers being charged with killing people?
>Guns don't kill people, it's people using guns that kill people, but that wouldn't happen if the manufacturer never made the gun.

Every implementation of communism has been fascist so far.
Every single one.
Except the Nazi one, maybe.

>pubg

do you not understand how communism works?
If someone from the party doesn't like it, it becomes illegal. Companies use lobbyists for making all kinds of shit illegal, or make legal exceptions.

it's not network activity, though. it's local, on your own computer.
the user is the only one at fault for using it online.

>putting atoms in atoms
>objects hitting the sun is illegal
this screams of underage, uneducated, Sup Forumsirgin idiotism

>this screams of underage, uneducated, Sup Forumsirgin idiotism
Yeah, welcome to Sup Forums.

>cryptoniggers make GPUs unaffordable
>chinks make online games unplayable
2018 will be the year of the Linux desktop.

This also happens in capitalistic countries, except it's not party members it's companies creating laws. In the US we have to wait 25 years to import a foreign car, you can thank Mercedes for that one.

No true scotsman arrests people for modifying their software, laddy.

so you do not know how communism works

Why would anyone here be against cheating in online games? It's fun and it's nice to be able to win easily after you put in the hard yards to make the cheat work.

>Gun is a generic tool that works anywhere for anything
>Hack is a specific tool that works in one specific location for a specific purpose
If a manufacturer made a gun that only functioned in elementary schools while pointed at children, there would probably be some kinda of legal response.

kek

>gas
>muh imaginary 6 billion reference

Indeed. The notoriously poorly named street sweeper shotgun is one such example.
Even if it's use is clearly generic its name alone got it banned.

>cheating is the biggest problem PUBG has
Haha, no. The player perceived latency is upwards of 200ms when adjusting for actual server ping.
Most other games hold that around 16ms.

Fuck off, he's right.

>cheaters going to jail

Hope they get aids, or at least 20 years to life
B
Not that these failures have anything better to do than get ass raped every day.

game is shit idc sage
