Bad Eggs are created when the code for a certain given Pokemon becomes impossible to recognise as a Pokemon. It generates a Bad Egg instead. I think it was meant to serve as a failstate because there is still information for a Pokemon there, but it's also... Not a pokemon, and the game doesn't know what to do with the data. Interacting with the corrupted data - like trying to hatch the egg - obviously just makes things worse and spreads it, and there seem to be occasions where you can corrupt a Pokemon so bad that the game doesn't even recognise it as a Bad Egg and just deletes it. There was a video done by Nick Robinson a while back where a fan of his reached out with a save file of Pokemon LeafGreen that had a bunch of Bad Eggs from gamesharking, and they actually managed to reverse engineer the starter Blastoise from a Bad Egg by digging up information about it deep within the code.

I mean, if the developers want people to experience their art in a specific way, then it makes sense to me to have anticheating measures. I think sometimes we forget that video games are pieces of art that have real life human artist that want their stories to be learned in the way that they imagined it in their own heads. It's like taking a painting by Leonardo and hanging it upside down because *you* think it looks better that way, even though the painting was meant to be right side up. Most people would look at you like you're crazy if you did that to a painting. I think the developers who punish cheating think like that.
I really miss cheats in single player games! Whether it was a spot you just couldn't get past or you just wanted to mess around, having the option really improved games.
Yes! I loved using cheats when I didn't want to grind but just go berzerk without risk. I bought the game, I should be allowed to use it the way I want. Maybe allow cheats after you've finished the game? That way the gamer plays it the way the developer wants and then the gamer can do whatever the f--k he/she wants. 😄
I still really love how Game Developer Tycoon dealt with pirates / cheaters: in-game you'd go bankrupt because your game would be pirated so much it was impossible to make a profit. Led to a lot of people complaining online it was "impossible to make money because of pirates" and such and the developers literally laughing at them.
Separating toxic\cheating gamers into their own crap servers is perfect. You put them all together and let 'em bother each other and the regular servers stay clean. The trash takes itself out.
@@Unknown_Genius Plus people can just report anyone and if they get enough reports from someone in the lobby telling everyone to report them, then they get shadowbanned for like a day
I don’t think I’ve encountered any cheaters in MW2, and if I did i didn’t notice so they were either removed or penalized in some way. Ricochet seems to work
There should be a feature in games where if someone tries to cheat in multiplayer all their cheats and stuff is removed from their account and they have to start over, same should happen to leaderboard cheaters and tjey get removed from the leaderboard entirely
maybe, but like determining if someone is cheating is hard enough, let alone someone TRYING to cheat. I detest cheaters but proving someone is or isnt cheating is so very hard unless you have a way to monitor their game files constantly
@@Unknown_Genius right, I am not a super gamer but I have some friends that do shit sometimes that suspend belief., though I did get banned from a DayZ server once for headshotting an admin at some distance that made them think I was cheating...
A cheat streamer got hit by ricochet and it does exactly what it says it does, also entertaining to watch him AND his friends go from laughing at it to rageing
Honestly, the amount of bots in Runescape (Old School in this case) is unimaginable... since the in-game economy is player driven, the bots actually have a huge impact on it by farming loads of high value items, saturating the market, causing the prices to go way down. It might seem like a good thing if you want to buy a certain item and you're not rich, but the way to make money in this game is to actually grind for such items so you can sell them for profit. In the end, it makes the grind even more tedious.
I botted a tiny bit in the original Runescape. However I used it just to level up I also think the enemies I was doing it on had a rare chance to drop a specific item, I can't really remember. Set it where it would just keep battling and had tons of health items, would check on it every 20 minutes or so and heal if need be. Was still "there" it just allowed me to play in the background while doing other things. I don't think it was the worst or most egregious use of botting.
I used to play runescape - bots made everyone miserable... they also took up resource nodes that you were trying to farm for your own levelling. Funny thing was I had a mod pop in a few times when I was grinding agility to level 99 one time (Yes I was insane, and yes I was bored) to ensure I wasn't a bot - we had some great convos in the Karamja agility place.
And it it's not the bots driving prices down like crazy, it's the fuckin' alcher guilds driving prices UP like crazy. If you're not in the know; an 'alcher guild' is basically a group of extremely wealthy players who buy as many of a specific item from the Grand Exchange as they can and immediately use Low Alchemy on it, removing that item from the world thus making it more rare, and by turning it into as little gold as possible it makes sure that gold itself is more valuable as well. Now they sell the last maybe dozen items that actually exist on the GE themselves for 100x the price they bought it for and make a huge profit of gold that is worth even more than it was when they started. It's literally insider trading but in RS form.
Genshin might be a single player game but I'd guess that the cheats they got annoyed about were bypassing the gatcha elements of the game and thats how they make their money.
Honestly, I'd be pissed seeing everyone with all the super-rare characters while I grinded. May have been out of greed but Hoyoverse sending the hackers to the Shadow Realm was probably the right thing to do for the player base.
Last time I used cheats was in GTA San Andreas. I got to the mission with Madd Dogg on the roof and the game kept crashing. I had already did ALL the spray tags and gang territory takeovers. Literally lost a 40 hour+ save file..I learned my lesson the hard way SMH
Wasn't that with the cheat that made all npcs fight, and Madd dogg would jump from the roof to fight with other npcs, killing him and losing the mission?
There should be no punishments for single player games, you're not affecting anyone else but yourself and some people just do it to make it easier or to have fun exploring the game in new ways
I don't get anti-cheats for single player only games unless there's some kind of leaderboard or something like that. Need For Speed Heat had all of your cash stored server side for whatever reason. I guess to make you grind for money way more. There are many ways to get around it and it all does is let you beat the game faster. So what? Multiplayer is a whole different thing though. You're not just screwing around with your game, you're screwing up other peoples' games and that's total BS.
I think the first anti-cheater implementation I saw in a game, was(maybe mentioned here before, sorry if so) the Goblin Bounty Hunter mob in final fantasy XI. Fishing bots were becoming a problem as the game continued, so these nasty goblins were added, to specifically hug the coastline or specific lakes where fishing bots had been reported. Back when they first came out, I remember they were just normal level for the area. However, I recall people didn't like fighting them, so SE eventually dialled back their strength since most bots were hardly strong enough characters to deal with a goblin. That and the player was of course afk running a script. I feel like it was effective too. Mostly I just see bots trying to level up in the starter zones, or yelling about rmt in the big towns. Now why anyone would need to buy gil in a 20 year old mmorpg, is beyond my comprehension... Aside from Goblins, the game already featured patrolling monsters, so being afk or not aware of your surroundings would be stupid and cost you hard-earned experience points and hours of work. It's a nice game, I like it.
The Gameshark scenarios kinda showcase another reason why disc games were superior to cartridge games. You might lose a save but you can't mess up a disc for using GS. With cartridge not only will you end up losing a save, you can brick the entire ROM. Heck I didn't even use GS and my Zelda Link's Awakening is bricked because of an existing exploit within the game, so now textures are corrupted and deleting saves made no difference
Moral story: 1. Just don't cheat in video games. 2. Having skill issue? Just grind the game better. 3. Don't want to grind the game? Then just don't play it.
It's not nasty but more hilarious. In South Park the fractured but whole if you try to enter a code correctly to a safe or door which you haven't collected yet in-game you get cartman dressed as tom brady's coach telling you to stop cheating
The funny thing is the code is so obvious that I accidentally got it on the first try. Figured I'd mess around for a couple of attempts before actually looking for a Post-It note only for that to happen. I found that brief rant hilarious.
Back in the day, late 90's/early 2000's, even cheating in single player was kinda considered taboo or just lame. I remember I had a friend who got stuck in MOH (iirc) the winter map. He was stuck because his computer would just lag out like crazy on that map, it was a very intense map (graphics wise) so I told him to just input the cheat code to skip the level. My roommate was appalled that I would suggest someone ever cheat, but I was like it's single player and he can't progress without it, isn't that what single player cheats are for?
for the genshin impact one, im guessing they probably got the massive fine and jailed because the cheat allowed them to bypass the gacha system (essentially loot boxes by another name) and they were swimming in high level characters items and materials. so hoyoverse could argue they were stealing from them by not paying for the loot boxes, oh sorry the gacha system.
When me and my brother were little (before we even knew about cheating in games) and played our first Pokemon game - Sapphire - we got a bad egg legitimately. There was a guy in the Sunken Ship that gave us the egg. We thought it was just a spooky thing.
I think a fun spin off of this video idea would be 10 games that welcomed cheats, like GTA San Andreas, THPS, Time Splinters 2, even Minecraft with it's whole 'cheats' menu.
Ricochet is saying their system analyzes what methods a hacker is using, allowing them to identify all the other hackers who use the same method. Then they can improve the system so no one can use that method anymore, banning all the hackers at once. Basically rather than banning the hacker automatically, they just figure out how they did it. Then slam the ban hammer.
as someone who stopped playing cod, ricochet doesn't work most of the time, you keep reporting a rage cheater but nothing happens not even a week after your report, Activision only cares about money
i hate activision too and i no idea if ricochet works, but it's an a.i that need's to learn and evolve, of course it would take more than a week, and at least it works in concept
People don't want to play a game filled with cheaters so if they only care about money then they would care about dealing with cheaters so that they can have maximum existing and new players... It is a fact that they have spent millions of dollars on anti-cheat solutions.
How's this for an idea for anticheat? If you're detected cheating, your inputs will become randomized and the randomizer shifts after every input so nobody can learn and memorize the new button prompts.
To be honest sometimes the developers are worst for a game than the cheaters. I have been playing GTA Online since the start & have seen things changed for the worst for normal players to deal with people that exploit bugs. Passive mode no longer being available in certain vehicles, yacht defenses being disabled for flying near it, & my personal favorite the Cargobob hook being shortened to deal with car duplication cheaters. That made it no longer functional for lifting certain things such as the Chernobog & Graintrailer without losing control & crashing or dropping them.
Gta online is by far the worst. There are bugs in that game that have been there since the beginning but the only way to get them to fix a bug is to exploit it somehow.
Are we not going to mention the fact that everything costs so fucking much money because the cheaters packed the market with billions of cheated in money? So a legitimate player has to do raids hundreds of times to purchase a single car, or buy fucking Shark Cards. :T
Just a slight note on Bad Egg. I've experimented with them in Gen 3 and 4, and messed around with them in Gen 5. Bad Eggs were more of a programming quirk than an actual cheat detection. They were pretty inconsistent in 3 and 4, even when the actions taken were completely illegal. I spawned in 6 completely illegal Pokemon in my party, and out of 100 spawns I got around 30 Bad Eggs. In the wild it was even rarer, most likely due to the inability to force things like Abilities, Attacks, and such onto the wild encounter. Don't remember too much of Gen 5, but I do remember it has better detection. I believe this was around the time when TPCI got seriously into competitive as well, so it makes sense that they'd want to have some type of cheat detection. A few years ago, Nintendo used the Bad Egg pretty effectively in Pokemon Home. Completely illegal Pokemon, such as Pokemon who were permanently transformed into a special form were detected and made into Bad Eggs to prevent them from ever being used again. Also, Gamesharks and Action Replays of the early 90s and 00s were very dangerous. For example, they had a switch that when pressed up would turn the device on and activate the cheats, while pressing it down would deactivate the device and the cheats. Because of how the Gameboy saved, if you saved your game while the device was active, it would save the data from the device as well, completing destroying the save file. I know this because my copy of Pokemon Blue only has glitchy Mew spawns for every fight. The console versions were a bit safer in general, but the inability to turn off any cheats due to the device being a disc was basically a disaster waiting to happen.
For Genshin Impact, they likely go that harsh to protect all that microtransaction money people spend on gotcha. Otherwise I doubt they would go as harsh. As for those corrupting game ones, my guess would be that if they crash the game or even break it, it likely was some code they didn't update and started to cause issues, but never bothered to go back, since it was not intended to be a problem through normal play. Though for singleplayer only games, it is ridiculous to have anti cheat measurements, since whole thing with cheating hurts no one. Like at best I could stand behind disabling achievements, like you get with Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition for example. Bethesda is funny though, they let you have achievements with cheats, but god forbid you install a mod, then you got to also add achievement re-enable mod to it... :-D So yeah, typical Bethesda competence on same level as their ability to fix bugs without fans doing it in mod for them. :-D
It's wild because Genshin has managed to someone how avoid being sued by Nintendo for this long. You'd think they'd cut slack given their entire base game is stolen code from Zelda.
The genshin cheaters getting jail time seems more like a corporate greed type of story than a scumbags get what they deserved type of story like cheaters on pvp games not quite sure how to feel about that.
It's super messed up. I'm very against cheaters in multiplayer but even that I'd just ban them no jail time. But jail for a single player game and their developers are prosecuting cheaters.
@John Alcott yeah the harshness is partially that they produced and sold cheats and the game itself is very reliant on ingame purchases in the form of things similar to lootboxes so with that correlation if the cheaters were to sell things that would circumvent the need to buy In game purchases they would be taking some money out of the way of the game studio. Even still considering that it would be reasonable to only sue them for the estimated money they would have lost them as a maximum, jail time is way too much.
@@Browhy766 It's similar to cracking a game and selling it, that's what they did. We have plethora of stories of renowned crackers getting jail time because they got caught. These 3 did exactly the same thing, and Hoyoverse evidently had the money to pursue the case with the full force of the law.
Stealing from corporations is still stealing. If it was really an infinite Primogems bot rather than sneaking in a few freebie pulls then that's a lot of money and jail makes sense.
Just blows my mind how u can come up with such quality lists every single day almost for YEARS.. never have gotten bored with your content .. I’m sure everyone agrees .. we look fwd to your video drops more than most lok
they should do the fine and jail time for all cheaters period sick of aim bot loser shooting you through the map or speed hacks i wish every game does this so its fair on multiplayer games single shouldn't matter.
@@perfectpats that's unfortunately true. It clearly shows signs of people with no life.. full definition. I don't mind people completing a game and then cheating but I hate them cheating before completing the game too. Just seems pointless even playing
Cheater - “What are you in for?” Criminal - “Murder, you?” Cheater - “I created cheats for a video game.” Criminal - “*gasp* you monster! Stay away from me!”
No! They deserve more! They rip the company of money for their own profit. More companies should go all in on cheaters. Maybe then one day we will get a mostly cheating free gaming experience!
@@KkommA88 multiplayer games, sure but single players games shouldn't matter. (Genshin impact's multiplayer isn't really true multiplayer before you say anything about that) Edit: unless they changed it since I last played.
Number 3... I very, VERY vehemently disagree with. What if some time in the future someone wants to cheat with their game after they've beaten the entire game in the first place? That would make me absolutely fucking _furious._ I beat the game in single player, I should be able to cheat however I like in single player after I've beaten it. No, I've not ever played the game, nor have I ever heard about it. But if it happened in a game that I _did_ play and beat 100%, I should be able to just do whatever the hell I want with it. At least in single player anyway.
Overwhelming cheating is why I had to quit Warzone. It's another reason why I'm going back to single player offline games after work. Not to include the prices of the skins when I quit. I haven't even played the new map, and won't until they get the cheating in warzone under control.
I got my brother's WoW account banned by going to the GM island. It was relatively easy considering videos existed teaching people how to get there. Funny thing is that they could've patched it so nobody could get there, but they didn't, so curious people went there anyway. When I went, there was literally nothing that can be done there, but still if you were caught being there by a GM, you were banned for it.
Me when I see the number 1 (and at the very end): …umm… it’s already slowly happening. (Unfortunately yeah, no news about that since it’s info got suppressed)
Wow, was about to comment about how COD's anti-cheat sounded like they employed ScriptKid, then the next entry was him. Btw you forgot to mention that the dude paid his own money to get google ads to promote his 'cheat software' as the top result for anyone who searched for CSGO cheats, that's dedication lol
If ya cheat in single player....who cares,your game to have fun,you cheat in multiplayer you're just trash atleast in single player you're not affecting other real life peoples play
I have an opinion that people turning to cheating is mostly caused by a lack of foresight from developers. People cheat because they either don't enjoy the game as is, or feel like they are deserving of whatever outcome they desire. Either way, I see it as a failure as a game designer to design engaging enough gameplay to reach players as they are, so that they would enjoy playing the game. You can never prevent everyone from cheating, but the people who aren't chaotic evil and cheat snapped at some point, as the challenge, instead of being a fun escape from reality, became a grueling job.
Cheating in videogames should be met with zero tolerance. Instant banning and platforms and companies should communicate with one another banning them overall.
I remember way back in MapleStory before Nexon took over from Wizet there was a Ban Wave that happened and if you read the chat it would tell you who got banned and why. It got hilarious because people ended up making sport out of it. My favorite was "YouCantBanMe got banned because we can" I remember just sitting in Orbis tower for an hour just reading these as they came in. Hacking was a huge problem in the game back then, everyone was using vacuum hacks and bots.

Maybe allow cheats after you've finished the game? That way the gamer plays it the way the developer wants and then the gamer can do whatever the f--k he/she wants. 😄

I still really love how Game Developer Tycoon dealt with pirates / cheaters: in-game you'd go bankrupt because your game would be pirated so much it was impossible to make a profit. Led to a lot of people complaining online it was "impossible to make money because of pirates" and such and the developers literally laughing at them.
Script kid is a diabolical genius. Love his videos

The more creative the punishment is, the better it is, especially if it ends up here for everyone else's enjoyment.
Doing the lord’s work. Cheaters getting what they deserve is so satisfying
the bad egg isnt just for cheating
it also happens when the code of a random pokemon becomes corrupt which is why it causes saves to get corrupted

I don’t think I’ve encountered any cheaters in MW2, and if I did i didn’t notice so they were either removed or penalized in some way. Ricochet seems to work
There should be a feature in games where if someone tries to cheat in multiplayer all their cheats and stuff is removed from their account and they have to start over, same should happen to leaderboard cheaters and tjey get removed from the leaderboard entirely
👆🏻
maybe, but like determining if someone is cheating is hard enough, let alone someone TRYING to cheat. I detest cheaters but proving someone is or isnt cheating is so very hard unless you have a way to monitor their game files constantly
@@Unknown_Genius right, I am not a super gamer but I have some friends that do shit sometimes that suspend belief., though I did get banned from a DayZ server once for headshotting an admin at some distance that made them think I was cheating...

A cheat streamer got hit by ricochet and it does exactly what it says it does, also entertaining to watch him AND his friends go from laughing at it to rageing
Honestly, the amount of bots in Runescape (Old School in this case) is unimaginable... since the in-game economy is player driven, the bots actually have a huge impact on it by farming loads of high value items, saturating the market, causing the prices to go way down. It might seem like a good thing if you want to buy a certain item and you're not rich, but the way to make money in this game is to actually grind for such items so you can sell them for profit. In the end, it makes the grind even more tedious.
I botted a tiny bit in the original Runescape. However I used it just to level up I also think the enemies I was doing it on had a rare chance to drop a specific item, I can't really remember. Set it where it would just keep battling and had tons of health items, would check on it every 20 minutes or so and heal if need be. Was still "there" it just allowed me to play in the background while doing other things. I don't think it was the worst or most egregious use of botting.
To me if repeated, monotonous tasks are the only way to get stronger, I lose interest. Thus why I never really got into Runescape.
I used to play runescape - bots made everyone miserable... they also took up resource nodes that you were trying to farm for your own levelling. Funny thing was I had a mod pop in a few times when I was grinding agility to level 99 one time (Yes I was insane, and yes I was bored) to ensure I wasn't a bot - we had some great convos in the Karamja agility place.
And it it's not the bots driving prices down like crazy, it's the fuckin' alcher guilds driving prices UP like crazy.
If you're not in the know; an 'alcher guild' is basically a group of extremely wealthy players who buy as many of a specific item from the Grand Exchange as they can and immediately use Low Alchemy on it, removing that item from the world thus making it more rare, and by turning it into as little gold as possible it makes sure that gold itself is more valuable as well. Now they sell the last maybe dozen items that actually exist on the GE themselves for 100x the price they bought it for and make a huge profit of gold that is worth even more than it was when they started. It's literally insider trading but in RS form.
Genshin might be a single player game but I'd guess that the cheats they got annoyed about were bypassing the gatcha elements of the game and thats how they make their money.
Honestly, I'd be pissed seeing everyone with all the super-rare characters while I grinded. May have been out of greed but Hoyoverse sending the hackers to the Shadow Realm was probably the right thing to do for the player base.
If only more devs did this on all platforms, dealing with hackers that aren't even on your skill level, is just sad.
No heart at all
Last time I used cheats was in GTA San Andreas. I got to the mission with Madd Dogg on the roof and the game kept crashing. I had already did ALL the spray tags and gang territory takeovers. Literally lost a 40 hour+ save file..I learned my lesson the hard way SMH
Wasn't that with the cheat that made all npcs fight, and Madd dogg would jump from the roof to fight with other npcs, killing him and losing the mission?
To be fair, the game told you straight up if you walked into a save point after cheating that saving a cheated game is a really, REALLY bad idea.
There should be no punishments for single player games, you're not affecting anyone else but yourself and some people just do it to make it easier or to have fun exploring the game in new ways
it is pretty much just a mod in single player
Alot of games just turn off achievements and let you go free
Cheating in singleplayer games? Go for it bud!
Cheating in multiplayer games? That's just sad lmao.
I love ScriptKid, his idea is genius
👆🏻
I don't get anti-cheats for single player only games unless there's some kind of leaderboard or something like that. Need For Speed Heat had all of your cash stored server side for whatever reason. I guess to make you grind for money way more. There are many ways to get around it and it all does is let you beat the game faster. So what? Multiplayer is a whole different thing though. You're not just screwing around with your game, you're screwing up other peoples' games and that's total BS.
I think the first anti-cheater implementation I saw in a game, was(maybe mentioned here before, sorry if so) the Goblin Bounty Hunter mob in final fantasy XI.
Fishing bots were becoming a problem as the game continued, so these nasty goblins were added, to specifically hug the coastline or specific lakes where fishing bots had been reported.
Back when they first came out, I remember they were just normal level for the area.
However, I recall people didn't like fighting them, so SE eventually dialled back their strength since most bots were hardly strong enough characters to deal with a goblin. That and the player was of course afk running a script.
I feel like it was effective too. Mostly I just see bots trying to level up in the starter zones, or yelling about rmt in the big towns.
Now why anyone would need to buy gil in a 20 year old mmorpg, is beyond my comprehension...
Aside from Goblins, the game already featured patrolling monsters, so being afk or not aware of your surroundings would be stupid and cost you hard-earned experience points and hours of work.
It's a nice game, I like it.
14 still has issues with RMT shouters, and I go out of my way to report every single one of them I have the misfortune of catching a shout from. e-e
The Gameshark scenarios kinda showcase another reason why disc games were superior to cartridge games. You might lose a save but you can't mess up a disc for using GS. With cartridge not only will you end up losing a save, you can brick the entire ROM. Heck I didn't even use GS and my Zelda Link's Awakening is bricked because of an existing exploit within the game, so now textures are corrupted and deleting saves made no difference
Moral story:
1. Just don't cheat in video games. 2. Having skill issue? Just grind the game better.
3. Don't want to grind the game? Then just don't play it.
It's not nasty but more hilarious. In South Park the fractured but whole if you try to enter a code correctly to a safe or door which you haven't collected yet in-game you get cartman dressed as tom brady's coach telling you to stop cheating
The funny thing is the code is so obvious that I accidentally got it on the first try. Figured I'd mess around for a couple of attempts before actually looking for a Post-It note only for that to happen. I found that brief rant hilarious.
Back in the day, late 90's/early 2000's, even cheating in single player was kinda considered taboo or just lame. I remember I had a friend who got stuck in MOH (iirc) the winter map. He was stuck because his computer would just lag out like crazy on that map, it was a very intense map (graphics wise) so I told him to just input the cheat code to skip the level. My roommate was appalled that I would suggest someone ever cheat, but I was like it's single player and he can't progress without it, isn't that what single player cheats are for?
Regarding #1: You could also add "interference with government data", over in China they watch you play.
and roblox aressted a dev from roblox with fbi and how the hell does that work a multi billionare company work with fbi
for the genshin impact one, im guessing they probably got the massive fine and jailed because the cheat allowed them to bypass the gacha system (essentially loot boxes by another name) and they were swimming in high level characters items and materials. so hoyoverse could argue they were stealing from them by not paying for the loot boxes, oh sorry the gacha system.
yeah it's likely that could get to theft or fraud over $5k pretty easily
I guess they were also hacking/stealing keys. So it was essentially theft.
I honestly can't blame the cheaters in this case!!! If U could buy the characters individually that would be different!!!
When me and my brother were little (before we even knew about cheating in games) and played our first Pokemon game - Sapphire - we got a bad egg legitimately. There was a guy in the Sunken Ship that gave us the egg. We thought it was just a spooky thing.
I think a fun spin off of this video idea would be 10 games that welcomed cheats, like GTA San Andreas, THPS, Time Splinters 2, even Minecraft with it's whole 'cheats' menu.
single player games.
well uhmmmmm roblox has if u get perm ban u device gets perm ban so u have to buy a new device or they still working on it
Ricochet is saying their system
analyzes what methods a hacker is using, allowing them to identify all the other hackers who use the same method. Then they can improve the system so no one can use that method anymore, banning all the hackers at once.
Basically rather than banning the hacker automatically, they just figure out how they did it.
Then slam the ban hammer.
AI finally being useful.
@@Unknown_Genius Ricochet actually had a problem of banning players almost indiscriminately only a few months ago didn't it?
If however the hacker is using methods that are unknown then Ricochet fails
Only thing I’d potentially defend about cheating in Pokémon, is getting event pokemon for events you couldn’t possibly attend.
as someone who stopped playing cod, ricochet doesn't work most of the time, you keep reporting a rage cheater but nothing happens not even a week after your report, Activision only cares about money
i hate activision too and i no idea if ricochet works, but it's an a.i that need's to learn and evolve, of course it would take more than a week, and at least it works in concept
People don't want to play a game filled with cheaters so if they only care about money then they would care about dealing with cheaters so that they can have maximum existing and new players... It is a fact that they have spent millions of dollars on anti-cheat solutions.
How's this for an idea for anticheat? If you're detected cheating, your inputs will become randomized and the randomizer shifts after every input so nobody can learn and memorize the new button prompts.
To be honest sometimes the developers are worst for a game than the cheaters. I have been playing GTA Online since the start & have seen things changed for the worst for normal players to deal with people that exploit bugs. Passive mode no longer being available in certain vehicles, yacht defenses being disabled for flying near it, & my personal favorite the Cargobob hook being shortened to deal with car duplication cheaters. That made it no longer functional for lifting certain things such as the Chernobog & Graintrailer without losing control & crashing or dropping them.
Gta online is by far the worst. There are bugs in that game that have been there since the beginning but the only way to get them to fix a bug is to exploit it somehow.
Are we not going to mention the fact that everything costs so fucking much money because the cheaters packed the market with billions of cheated in money? So a legitimate player has to do raids hundreds of times to purchase a single car, or buy fucking Shark Cards. :T
Now I want to see "List of games humiliated/banned you from using their own cheat code in single player game"
Love your videos
Just a slight note on Bad Egg. I've experimented with them in Gen 3 and 4, and messed around with them in Gen 5. Bad Eggs were more of a programming quirk than an actual cheat detection. They were pretty inconsistent in 3 and 4, even when the actions taken were completely illegal. I spawned in 6 completely illegal Pokemon in my party, and out of 100 spawns I got around 30 Bad Eggs. In the wild it was even rarer, most likely due to the inability to force things like Abilities, Attacks, and such onto the wild encounter. Don't remember too much of Gen 5, but I do remember it has better detection. I believe this was around the time when TPCI got seriously into competitive as well, so it makes sense that they'd want to have some type of cheat detection. A few years ago, Nintendo used the Bad Egg pretty effectively in Pokemon Home. Completely illegal Pokemon, such as Pokemon who were permanently transformed into a special form were detected and made into Bad Eggs to prevent them from ever being used again.
Also, Gamesharks and Action Replays of the early 90s and 00s were very dangerous. For example, they had a switch that when pressed up would turn the device on and activate the cheats, while pressing it down would deactivate the device and the cheats. Because of how the Gameboy saved, if you saved your game while the device was active, it would save the data from the device as well, completing destroying the save file. I know this because my copy of Pokemon Blue only has glitchy Mew spawns for every fight. The console versions were a bit safer in general, but the inability to turn off any cheats due to the device being a disc was basically a disaster waiting to happen.
For Genshin Impact, they likely go that harsh to protect all that microtransaction money people spend on gotcha. Otherwise I doubt they would go as harsh.
As for those corrupting game ones, my guess would be that if they crash the game or even break it, it likely was some code they didn't update and started to cause issues, but never bothered to go back, since it was not intended to be a problem through normal play. Though for singleplayer only games, it is ridiculous to have anti cheat measurements, since whole thing with cheating hurts no one. Like at best I could stand behind disabling achievements, like you get with Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition for example.
Bethesda is funny though, they let you have achievements with cheats, but god forbid you install a mod, then you got to also add achievement re-enable mod to it... :-D So yeah, typical Bethesda competence on same level as their ability to fix bugs without fans doing it in mod for them. :-D
It's wild because Genshin has managed to someone how avoid being sued by Nintendo for this long. You'd think they'd cut slack given their entire base game is stolen code from Zelda.
"Botany Bay. Botany Bay! Oh, no! We've got to get out of here now. Damn!"
It's sad when good punishments are left behind cause everybody's becoming more sensitive about everything

You mean loli
The genshin cheaters getting jail time seems more like a corporate greed type of story than a scumbags get what they deserved type of story like cheaters on pvp games not quite sure how to feel about that.
It's super messed up. I'm very against cheaters in multiplayer but even that I'd just ban them no jail time. But jail for a single player game and their developers are prosecuting cheaters.
@John Alcott yeah the harshness is partially that they produced and sold cheats and the game itself is very reliant on ingame purchases in the form of things similar to lootboxes so with that correlation if the cheaters were to sell things that would circumvent the need to buy In game purchases they would be taking some money out of the way of the game studio.
Even still considering that it would be reasonable to only sue them for the estimated money they would have lost them as a maximum, jail time is way too much.
@@Browhy766 It's similar to cracking a game and selling it, that's what they did. We have plethora of stories of renowned crackers getting jail time because they got caught. These 3 did exactly the same thing, and Hoyoverse evidently had the money to pursue the case with the full force of the law.
Cuz they stealing money
Stealing from corporations is still stealing. If it was really an infinite Primogems bot rather than sneaking in a few freebie pulls then that's a lot of money and jail makes sense.

Number 3... I very, VERY vehemently disagree with. What if some time in the future someone wants to cheat with their game after they've beaten the entire game in the first place? That would make me absolutely fucking _furious._ I beat the game in single player, I should be able to cheat however I like in single player after I've beaten it. No, I've not ever played the game, nor have I ever heard about it. But if it happened in a game that I _did_ play and beat 100%, I should be able to just do whatever the hell I want with it. At least in single player anyway.
Overwhelming cheating is why I had to quit Warzone. It's another reason why I'm going back to single player offline games after work. Not to include the prices of the skins when I quit. I haven't even played the new map, and won't until they get the cheating in warzone under control.
I got my brother's WoW account banned by going to the GM island. It was relatively easy considering videos existed teaching people how to get there. Funny thing is that they could've patched it so nobody could get there, but they didn't, so curious people went there anyway. When I went, there was literally nothing that can be done there, but still if you were caught being there by a GM, you were banned for it.
Me when I see the number 1 (and at the very end): …umm… it’s already slowly happening. (Unfortunately yeah, no news about that since it’s info got suppressed)

If ya cheat in single player....who cares,your game to have fun,you cheat in multiplayer you're just trash atleast in single player you're not affecting other real life peoples play
I have an opinion that people turning to cheating is mostly caused by a lack of foresight from developers. People cheat because they either don't enjoy the game as is, or feel like they are deserving of whatever outcome they desire. Either way, I see it as a failure as a game designer to design engaging enough gameplay to reach players as they are, so that they would enjoy playing the game. You can never prevent everyone from cheating, but the people who aren't chaotic evil and cheat snapped at some point, as the challenge, instead of being a fun escape from reality, became a grueling job.
Why do you say COD like that lol. It’s pronounced like the fish not an acronym
Cheating in videogames should be met with zero tolerance. Instant banning and platforms and companies should communicate with one another banning them overall.
I remember way back in MapleStory before Nexon took over from Wizet there was a Ban Wave that happened and if you read the chat it would tell you who got banned and why. It got hilarious because people ended up making sport out of it. My favorite was "YouCantBanMe got banned because we can"
I remember just sitting in Orbis tower for an hour just reading these as they came in. Hacking was a huge problem in the game back then, everyone was using vacuum hacks and bots.
Genshin impact is a money hungry game and those cheats take money out of their pockets. That's the simple why they had those people thrown in jail.
Isnt affecting other saves similar to malware or some such? if so how was that legal, especially in a single player PS2 game?
