Video Game Cheat Creators Receive Harsh Punishment
The cheaters weren’t just selling harmless cheats. They were selling software capable of giving players in-game currency.
Today, I share my observations and thoughts about gaming cheats and ramifications. It is a big issue in gaming communities.
For example, Genshin Impact is a popular action RPG (Role Playing Game) developed by miHoYo. I haven’t played it myself, but I have a few friends who thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience.
But this article isn’t specifically about Genshin Impact itself. It’s about what happened to a few cheat creators who sold cheats for this game.
Cheating isn’t a new thing in Genshin Impact. In fact many cheats have gone under the radar from the developers since they were simply single-player cheats.
It did not impact the multiplayer aspect, so it wasn’t too big of a deal. But in 2021, three Chinese cheat creators developed a multiplayer cheat that gave players a very unfair advantage.
These three cheat creators sold over 40 thousand access keys to their software. They made an illegal income of over $300,000.
