Might be unbreakable, but all the attacker has to do is put money on it once and then just duplicate the card. You don't need to beat the encryption. You just need to make the machine think the card is legit

Nope. They claim that some of it has to do with Unity and the way the engine is coded and not just their own code... Which might be true to an extent, but they've also admitted that their own code is hard to work with because it's all gotten so complex.

As for selling their own cheats... Man who knows... Money IS a great motivator.

Can't blame you, tbh... It's been a shit show. Hopefully they figure it out, but they've been pretty tone deaf at every turn over the past few years so it's likely that they'll just try to ride this out until the community just kinda... forgets about it. Which is sad. One reason being that we shouldn't be in this position to begin with... The other is that it shows that companies can literally just bend us all over and as long as they walk back the extreme behaviour a little bit, they'll get away with it.

I've killed more than a few people with bigger pockets than normal and it just saddens me that people can actually support this nonsense.

You're joking, right? You realize the group of people you're talking about, yea? This bot 110% would be used to further their agenda. Real discussion isn't their goal and it never has been.
