So, I'm aware this is a very controversial topic to talk about on this forum, but I felt the need to bring this up, because we've seriously gotta put an end to this.
If you're somehow living under a rock, I'll explain what's been going on with the community as of late. So, as you know, there was an incident regarding a good friend of mine, DarkFlareGames, having his NTR Code leaked online & available to the public. This caused many CFW Users to be able to FTW/FTL Hack on MK7 online. As someone who plays MK7 [very] religiously, this actually hurt me very much, because nowadays, whenever I ask for a legit match online with someone from Discord, per se, they don't wanna do anything but hack & just make the game unplayable for me. I know most people don't hack online, & that's fine, but it seems nowadays, I can't ever catch a break with hackers at all. I simply don't play the game anymore because of this reason.
However, that's not the main focus of what I wanna talk about today. I can guarantee you; about a majority of us are guilty of getting CFW or Homebrew on this forum. Some of us are devs, some of us just like Homebrew; we're all different people. However, with myself being a dev, I'm very conscious of what could potentially pose a threat to other people's gaming experiences. I'm not blaming Flare at all by any means; he wasn't at fault for what he did. What I'm trying to say here is that we as devs have created an endless loop of suffering for any legit 3DS owners & even CFW users, for that matter.
It starts like this: dev makes getting CFW easier; people get it. Dev gets a potentially dangerous code leaked; people use it. People start getting banned; devs explain how to unban. Bingo. Endless loop created.
Now, I'm not against hacking by any means. I do it, too. But, it's only limited to minor tweaks; not game-breaking tweaks. However, we as devs have gotta be smarter about what we do. As I've learned, if someone wants to be a dick, let them suffer, because soon, they're gonna bring their asses to every god damn source trying to figure out a remedy as to why they're banned, or get their 3DS bricked. That being said, 97% of this community are just a bunch of scumbags wanting free games when we all know what happens to piraters. Not only that, the amount of rudeness these people treat these devs actually hurts my fucking soul. However, I'm not gonna let it get to me, because it's not worth getting mad over something silly.
Anyways, what are your thoughts on the situation? Are my points flawed? Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Merch
