Problem for whom, certainly not for me

Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they're as big of a concern as malware. Won't someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on *sobs uncontrollably*.

This whole thing sounds like the "drugs in Halloween candy" scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

P.S. I don't know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

They probably mean cheat trainers, as opposed to chat codes(extra software that alters the games memory while it's running), which can often include other malware.

I definitely remember bighead mode in NFL Blitz 2000 on the OG Playstation

I dunno. It’s not like the warez and stuff is IN Spotify.

... anymore. In the beginning you could even find scene release group names in the album titles.

(although I do believe I am one of those persons who saw those filenames myself, but I mean .. that was a looooooong time ago now)

Yup, I used to be in the scene and I'm a musician, had a bunch of my releases, both ones I couriered and albums I released on Spotify, names of songs with the same misspelling.
