oh i very much do. hell, i started on a pc. long before consoles came out.. and if not for the fact that it's in the long run more convenient to game on a console than a pc and always have to upgrade some shit or another - i'd still be gaming on a pc. hell.. i remember when you had to manually negotiate tcp/ip handshake protocols just to get an online game going.. you actually had to have somewhat of a brain.. just to make the shit work.. which automatically guaranteed that this latest generation of whiney little bitches who ride mommy and daddy 's coat tails.. just to get on xbox live.. -- weren't getting online in the same gaming circles i was. now that consoles have made things easier.. it's become so much easier for these little halfwit -blam!-tards to get into the same gaming circles and the whining bs like all these anti-cheese topics.. is a result of it. hell if it was up to me.. it would require a retinal scan and drivers license swipe just to get on xbox live.. just to keep all these little underage -blam!-tards off of things.

Just pointing out that hacking/cheating is not good for any of the parties involved, in this case it doesn't matter since it was in a team co-op mission. No one likes kids playing video games, but that's kind of why they make them in the 1st place, I'm sure most sales will be to these "kids" you speak of and the minority to actual mature gamers. Which would be why we have so many dumbed down games of late

tbh.. i kinda doubt that statistic.. and i say this simply for 1 reason and 1 reason alone.. kids.. don't have jobs.. don't earn money..and aren't the spending majority... it's people in the 18-40yo age range.. the ones that can actually afford the shit.... the younger ones are usually just the annoying little kids who have pissed and moaned til mommy and daddy finally caved just to shut them up. and cheating is only cheating if you're actually BREAKING a rule.. in this case.. you're using a -blam!- up in game programming to your advantage.. you're not breaking the game or altering it's design.. you're capitalizing on a program mistake.. against the AI.. i hardly call that cheating.. now.. if i managed to find a way to inject code into the game.. to suddenly equip myself with atheon's blaster.. and took it into say the crucible.. you bet your ass that's cheating.. bc it's operating or forcing the operation of the game in manner in which it was never possible to operate previously.

Depends on your definition of "kid" really.

anyone under 18 who can't be legally bound to a contract is a kid. by purest definition of the law. even emancipated minors .. are still.. you guessed it.. minors. now there are some instances where sub 18 can work and earn money.. i believe as early as 16 in some states.. however.. they still can't work a full time job til they're 18 legally. (child labor laws)

You are clearly a know it all that is misinformed by most of the things you talk about; thanks for entertaining me with your stupidity today

Plain and simple.. F.uck you. Get off my thread and notification window.
