They can look all they want but cheating ain't illegal so it's gonna stay on YouTube lol

Also anti cheat is notoriously ineffective at stopping cheats, if you wanna cheat its a matter of time and effort that's it.

Probably a lot of cheats from untrusted sites do work, but they also are malicious, it's smarter not to at all. However people are cheating in game already I heard even day 1. Never trust an external site you have never seen before honestly, even then best to look yourself then follow a link.

Actually, it is. If it weren't then there wouldn't have been cases where developers sued trainer creaters/users and even won against them, especially when such use goes 100% against the ToS we all agree to in order to play the game.

Distributing cheat software especially for cash, can be illegal if a conpany can prove it has harmed them in a monetary way, cheating yourself is not illegal lol

Oh, what's your source on this?

Someone figured out how to post a video to YouTube, nice. I was wondering how long someone would post the first ever Youtube video. Maybe the platform will get popular.

I don't know if someone else tested it but since you can earn a lot of money making and selling cheats it looks suspicious that they share free cheats in YouTube.

I think there are two options with that.

1- has or is malware

2- is outdate and you will be banned.

And well, there is a bonus option that is both.

I mean its quite literally just a trainer. Theres free trainers for practically every single game. They wont beat even the worst anticheats though, so its not like they cause issues in multiplayer games.

You are literally promoting cheats.

[hi]

Way to promo your trojan/keylogger broski.

The featured gameplay looks like so much fun! /s

@Nomadic sadly you are wrong (I wish you were not wrong in this case but you are). Game Developers / Publishers have never sued the users of cheat / trainer software, at most all they can do to users is mess with their game play experience or just out right ban them. However that said when the developers / Publishers of those games that have sued creators of trainer, cheat and or hack software have only been successful with those that have fundamentally changed / edited the core files of there games (which is a breach of copy right laws)...
As for braking any Terms of Service of any company you can not be arrested / charged and or sentenced to jail for doing so. ( for an extra note) As for occasions when you can be fined for breach of ToS that can only happen when people have agreed to it before downloading said game's and or software.

My personal view of in game cheats / trainer software and hacking software is as follows:
If you use any of the in game cheats / trainers or use hacking software in any multiplayer mode of any game then you definitely should be I.P / Permanently band from ever playing the games online.
How ever that said if you only use them in single player mode and as long as it only physically affects your own game and no one else's then I do not see any problem with people in general using them providing the cheats stay in single player mode only.
