Remember when the way to beat hard bosses was to either git gud or input a built in cheat code? Pepperidge Farms remembers

MMO veterans might be very interested in this kind of totally never seen before type of play automation

Why would you single out MMO veterans in this scenario? I've been playing MMOs since 2001 AND I git gud. I am the older sibling/cousin that you hand your controller to when you don't want to git gud to pass a boss.

Overall... I hate this idea that Sony has. If this becomes the norm I might never play a new game again ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Not op, but I took it as being because MMOs are ~~the only~~ one form of modern games where anyone really cares if the player cheats. So MMOs tend not to leave developer cheat codes lying around.

(Edit: Yes, other competitive games do exist, I guess.)

I forgot that other competitive games exist. I only play Pac-Man.
