MasterCard? Why not MONSTERCOCK?

Uhh

what the actual fuck is wrong with people https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/9/18133391/south-korea-boosting-esports-league-of-legends-law

so cheating within the confines of the game's own rules now carries a 2 year suspended sentence in south korea and a large fine

south korea isnt actually a utopia of freedom

South Korea takes their sports very seriously

$18k per instance

Oh

didn't see that this was outside of the sport as well

that is fucked up

it's EXTREMELY broad

I don't give a single damn about account level in a competitive game, higher account level doesn't make them play better at all

so beyond just arresting people for bypassing the grind and moneywalls in a game this impacts nothing

It is more about the people providing the services of leveling than the act itself it looks like

but again they made the language broad

So, in other words, if you are married and play each other's characters you could get hit with a fine and prison sentence?

since this only impacts casual play, and far less then the lootboxes and cashshop... what does it actually do to benefit esports?

Like when my wife is part way through a raid and gets an important phone call so I slip in to keep things going smoothly?

if in south korea ya

WTF?

account boosting doesn't even seem an issue since it's just a number and often just unlocks cosmestics

which they sell in game cash shop items to boost your account rank anyway

so they make it hell to get account rank without spending a shit ton of money in the cash shop, sell you ways to directly increase rank in the cash shop and arrest anyone who finds a way to bypass that grind without having to give them money?

oh so thats how the companies benefit from the law

i was just wondering about that

you need a government to lobby to protect your profits

the wording though "an act that interferes with the normal operation of the game by arranging or providing the service to acquire the score or performance of the game in a way that is not approved by the game-related business operated"

so exploits as well?

That could be taking advantage of bugs

Yeah

so lootcaves in destiny?

So also protect gamemakers who make shit code

just... holy fuck, I have no word to descibe the idiocy

You stumble over a glitch and you could be fined

find a exploitable shortcut in a mmo raid to skip a boss? $18k fine and suspended 2 year sentence!

And since these glitches often are not documented, you may not even know its not "approved by the game-related business operated"

this

The difference between a feature and a flaw are often in the eye of the beholder

So gamers now need to read the minds of devs...in SK at least

people are still very uncertain about if they can use fallout 76 mods without getting banned, they need an official statement
