Last week a small french Armed Assault website contacted our hosting company and demanded that it take our community down. We recieved a copy of the email conversation.
The purpose was stated in this sentence: “this one carries out cheats with fine dishonest person”. Which simply means that people who make video-game cheats are bad, they should have no rights, no webpages nor communities.
One funny thing apart from the fact that the game is not even on sale in France, is that french fan-page offers a bribe for the job to be done: ” in exchange to compensate we would be as far as you to make advertizing”. They offer advertising in exchange. So it’s ok to bribe, but not to make cheats? That doesn’t make sense at all.
During the past few years the founders of TKC have been subject to threats, detractors have been trying to hack and DDOS the webpages of the community, people have been using the logo and name of our community in order to smear or infiltrate it. We’ve dealt with them all. Evidence has been submitted and legal action has been taken in some cases. Despite all this our community has held its banner high for four years. We’ve survived longer than most other games and communities.
This bribery issue is only the latest of many illegal acts that have been perfomed against us. You may ask yourself, who are actually the “bad guys”? Is it us who make cheats for all to use, who want to strengthen the power of the player and stop online authoritarianism. Or is it the so called “honest” players, the anti-cheaters who use all available methods, even illegal ones, when trying to stop the activities at these pages just to make sure they rank top on some server. Games are not about ranking top anywhere, they are all about fun. Cheats make games fun when they are boring.
Try it out yourself, and you’ll thank us!
