free game motivates hackers

[PankZ]

Keeping the game free will motivate accounts to use hacks, as they will create accounts on Steam to use hacks, and will harm everyone else who wants it, I hope they add a decent anti-cheat because I really hope the game is promising and who knows the best of the year

Sadly I agree, though I am not so much worried about hacks as I am about bots. Bots are the bane of free-to-play games and can kill interest when they become ubiquitous. Once Human should cost SOMETHING, even if under $10, to keep the bots at bay.

yes, if they don't act on these things, they will soon ruin themselves.

And how exactly would hackers in this game influence you in any way?

There are no leaderboards
Everyone can get starchrome
Everyone can get mods
Bosses and silos are instanced and not open world.
You aren’t compeeting with anyone - at all.

Unless of course you play on a PvP server.

"I hope they add a decent anti-cheat"

Like what? What anticheat do people EVER praise as a whole? It's always 'oh they have this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anticheat'.

Anticheats don't work, p2p has a large number of hackers. F2P removes any barrier to entry and you'll just get destroyed in pvp.

This being mainly pve makes it less of an issue unless you for some reason aim for pvp, which is always just going to be the larger zerg group wins anyway.

No company is going to heavily invest into actively banning cheaters, it's unfortunate but it's not going away.

Also to add, EFT cheats cost I think $100/month. Anyone dumb enough to pay that is gladly buying a new account when they get banned 2-3 times a year max.
