Call Of Duty Cheater Banned After Bragging On Twitch

@Edwinhernandez: cheating is why single player games r the best no one really cares if u cheat or not on them and u dont need to worry about cheaters messing up your fun no matter how u play it

@Edwinhernandez: it was much easier to avoid on consoles before this strange obsession with cross play with PC ruined that.

Now it is just a little easier.

@Edwinhernandez: Well... Just don't play MP games then?

The best games are solo games anyways, MP games are repetitive grinds with a few good ones in the mix, but those are just games that are popular to watch due to their nature, they don't make up gaming as a whole. Far from it.

@Edwinhernandez: good for you, anyways anyone seen the new games coming out can't wait.

@Edwinhernandez: Story based games are the bomb. I encourage you to get back into those. Or co-op games (but there aren’t as many of those as there used to).

@Roman217: What you just said is incredibly misinformed

@Roman217: Twitch and Twitch streamers have the ability to affect the way that people view games and influence the way that people enjoy them. By not banning people for cheating, you run the risk of contributing to a change in public perception around cheating in multiplayer games. I don't know that Twitch wants to be a platform that encourages people to start cheating in multiplayer games by having popular streamers cheat and troll people online. It's not a positive for anyone, and while it isn't Twitch's business per-se, I think they have some sort of a responsibility to the industry with the amount of viewers that it has on a daily basis to maintain a set of standards that's positive for the industry as a streaming platform for games.

I kind of liken it to Youtube and some of the people that it has banned. I know this is a rabbit hole of potential whataboutism, but to equate it to something that I think everybody can agree on no matter where you come from or what your set of beliefs are, while it's none of Youtube's business and it's just a platform to post videos... it should have some set of standards that disallows rotten garbage like DaddyOFive to post videos of blatant child abuse. How many people watched that channel who have kids of their own and were inspired to "prank" them? It's that sort of a thing I think.

The real answer, because **** corporations, is that it would probably affect Twitch's revenue. If you're a publisher that regularly buys ad space on Twitch and you have a multiplayer game out... you probably don't want to advertise to the world that your game is full of rampant cheating by having streamers actively engaging in cheating.

@tingtong: do you know if there's any perma ban or end of license? because there should be already.

@sakaixxCheaters are pretty rare and typically get banned quickly. It's not relaly a big concern, and the advantages of PC gaming far outweigh it.

@Starshine_M2A2: Clara the hack installer is legendary.

@Starshine_M2A2: oh how could we orget about that? I'm not even into esports and it was so funny I had to watch it. Hope the girls use webcams for other things, because that's the only credible thing I expect for her.

@Darkflare_EX: depends on the game. Some games on ps4 there are worse cheats then on PC. Any game that uses client side saves such as D3 or Borderlands is easier to cheat. And some people's definition of cheating is different. Like in D3 just exit game farming to get the right roll on an item some consider cheating others do not.

But if you consider controller mods that do things like auto fire and auto recoil adjust cheating then there is A LOT more cheating going on on console then you think. Heck there are retail versions of this kind of crap now.

@Darkflare_EX: I think I once met cheaters on a Call of Duty game... But it's been a while ago. I think it was on WW2, but I'm not sure.
