Why this game is failing.

CS:GO is pretty cheap though, and is often on sale, so it isn’t that big of a deal for players to buy another copy. I was thinking more in the £40 price range (which is perfectly reasonable for a good game). Although there will probably still be some people that can afford to buy many copies.

CS:GO also has something like 40 times the amount of daily players.

Right now CS:GO has 480,763 active players, compared to DB’s 7,341.

So it’s not really shocking that CS:GO has more hackers.

Amount of active players means really nothing, since you cant play with them all. You wont even see most of them.
Important is pecentual difference.

But it does. More popularity means more hacks means more hackers means more people hacking because they think other people are hacking.

Well it’s official. Just encountered another hacker in a competitive game. He was using Kira. Default loadout. 47/0. He was using the AUG like it was a minigun.

Every game has cheaters. Especially when there is a rank system involved. This should not be shocking or newsworthy. Simply report them (use the sticky) and soon you will be able to report in game.

He could have been talking in percentages, although he also mentioned he avoids competitive mode, so there is that too.

Or, have higher standards on how we spend our money, and demand better?

Trust me, I am baffled by people that have such low standards, with the usual quips of ‘it is the way things are going, just accept it’. If more people were to step up and demand better, then companies that want our hard earned will have to do that same.

And who knows, maybe we will get a high quality FPS with very few hackers that lasts more than 6 months before the bulk of the playerbase lose hope that it will ever improve. Which seems to be the trend with F2P FPS games.

Please don’t try to change what i said and imply that I meant people should lower their standards. My point is this has been discussed in a number of other threads and SD has said many times that they are working on it (and software development takes time). Cheating is a big problem that effects every single game out there. Constantly going on about it doesn’t help anything. It doesn’t make the hamster wheel turn faster.

Constantly defending the status quo with an “outlook” to something better “beeing developed” doesn’t help either.
But as the people were shown, whining enough about some topic seems to help putting the people in charge into motion, so the people are doing it. Obvious isn’t it?
And hey, the topic cheaters and xingpoop is actual AT LEAST since a week after start of open beta, so … probably even some carmanufacturers are able to deliver a car faster than that.

made 5 comp games yesterday… all five had cheaters, 1 of those games had 3 XD
