Oh I failed to see the humor there but I got your point. In fact I would support making certain things punishable by law, such as online game cheats. They're detrimental to the game community which reflects on happy customers and from there directly to sales figures.
Most companies treat caught cheaters way too lenient. Public humiliation and lifetime ban would be appropriate imo.
Yeah but then they wouldnt be able to buy the game again, and again, and under new names keep cheating and keep making the game maker money. Thats why the rules are so Lax. They want to make them look just stringent enough to appear like they give a damn yet dont want them that stringent that they cut into their money flow.
Be glad Aces High never had to deal with that drama. BF4 has so many hackers I think they ban together to protect each other and shush community anger.
