Consequences schmonsequences

Life of Gaming Crime It’s not real, right? Wrong….Peer, gang or clan pressure is a real thing that shapes your actual decisions.  Decisions that have real impact.  My 4-year-old Ubisoft account is banned from Division 2 as part of the Damage Per Second glitch exploit punishment.

Fair cope governor but maybe I’ve just been hanging with the wrong gamers.  Gamers who jumped on the YouTube train and like kiddy scripters followed a systematic method for shallow, fake success with no fear of what might happen to their time and economic investment.

It never felt good anyway…

Dishonorable associates unfollowed – Tom Clancy’s The Division 2

So now what? Well, for me a simple purge of all the “friends” who I followed down the wrong rabbit hole. Funny thing is that in my case these “friends” seems to have escaped the banning net and are playing happily, another lesson learned.

This case is very similar to real life cybercrime where the authority’s punish the exploiters rather than the creator or root cause of the exploit. I’ve always been a Beta Tester and Easter Egg hunter but this has the tendency to put your mindset into Hacker mode.

Too real to be fun anymore..Survival is FUN.

To add insult to injury, the workaround of using another account is negated as I didn’t use a hardcopy disk.

Cheese, hack, cheat, exploit {act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage} = ban
