Let codex make cheats for games

[junior fulcrum]

I dont see why codex shouldn't be able to make game cheats.

After all, it IS the player's fault, not openai, if the player gets banned from said game for cheating. Just add a new thing to the terms of service, where anything made by codex is the user's responsibility on how they use it, and OpenAI takes no accountability on what the user makes

OR you could just play games legitimately.

Cheat making and playing with cheats should be illegal and punishable by law, the same law that punishes fraud.

XD wow... seriously? >.> For Games? Where are you coming from with this? Sure lets throw someone in jail for using an exploit in a video game... uhhh no.

Look at all the amazing BG3 Mods, none of that would have been possible if they thought like that.

I kind of hate that way of thinking personally. At the end of the day the point of a GAME is to have fun, or do you think everyone should be forced to play in hard mode with only one life and no saves? Dark Souls much?

No one is having fun when someone is cheating, i have nothing against modding, modding in most scenarios does not give you any unfair advantage, and in most multiplayer games you cannot enter with modded clients anyways

I do not see any difference from any other type of fraud, you pay money for the product, use the product as intended, and somebody hacks it and gains advantage ruining your gameplay with it, pretty much the same as if you used your bank account for years without any misuse and somebody hacked a terminal and stole your money, in this example that user is also getting unfair advantage, both should be illegal and punishable imo.

Cheaters spell scroll, weightless gold, Cheat engine, extra feats, etc

Mods are more than just custom outfits, and those same exploits that allow modification allow adjustment of other things like cheats.

in BG3 multiplayer is all agreed on with a host that controls the mods, I suppose I can see your point with a competitive MMOG but bleh, that should be in the servers specific rules ( Which often times DO punish many cheats and exploits being used so... ) it's on the game host/servers to police, and certainly shouldn't be at the same level as actual real world LAW omg lol.

What do you do E-sports or something? How are you losing so much money that you want legal consequences brought in?

[regal haven]

Well as you see - every MMOG and especially FPS have a very hard cheater problem, and developers are doing minimal effort on solving the problem, that's a fact, developers are not obliged by law to implement proper protections, detections and logging against cheaters, if they where, even Microsoft would had been forced to implement process containers and protection for apps from injection and memory read/writes but they arent and every kid using any AI (i guess aside codex) can code a cheat and ruin other players experience with it.

Making it illegal - automatically would remove most of cheaters since now it would be a risk of a fine or other legal actions, and to implement legal control over it you would have to verify your ID with your account, and link it to you, but people nowadays are too paranoid about this so, i guess, there is no point on bringing this part up to avoid holywar in this comment section.

about real world LAW - real world one punishes you in jail, this should at least be a fine for the first and maybe second times you get caught, then it can expand to upper levels of punishment, i agree with you here, i miswrote my idea by directly putting = between fraud law irl and related to cheaters.
