Pain and purgatory simulator Dark Souls: Remastered was released a couple of weeks ago, and within hours it was already the playground of a well-known hacker. Malcolm Reynolds, who is known to players from his exploits in other Dark Souls games, was invading players and throwing an accursed, hacked fireball at them, which inflicts diseases and a curse that makes the game even more difficult. He also has a history of getting people softbanned , which means their save file is flagged and they can only play with a small pool of other players (others who ve been softbanned). I spoke to Malcolm Reynolds about why he does all this.
I always say this to people that ask, he tells me, but every time they release a game I honestly wish they would have good anti-cheat. (more…)
