  • Some definitely seem disconnected from reality. Sometimes it’s as simple as someone trying to recoup on losses from a less successful game/print. Not many people involved in games are making much money, I know some people in that industry and it’s not even able to support any of the designers or anyone I know as their full time thing. And these folks work on pretty well known stuff: History Channel licensed stuff, Shadowrun, Catalyst & Fantasy Flight games.

    I’ve never bought a game personally, just played what other people were willing to fork out for.




  • About 13 years ago I was doing lots of sketchy criminal stuff on the Web. I remember one guy I would work with on game hacks for MMOs had made a PCI card and was selling it for like 2000 USD. It pilfered Counter-Strike game data from certain GeForce cards over the SLI bridge. The card itself wasn’t visible to the OS, therefore bypassing all anti-cheat, and merely rendered the wallhacks in crude wireframe on a second monitor which was connected to it. I don’t think he had the hardware to show it off, but it should have been using the alpha channel correctly so that with the right A/V equipment the wallhacks could be overlaid on the monitor being used to actually play.
