Forum Suggestion

Expand Post »
I have a suggestion for cscgal to make a forum for games and game consoles.

I'd be a forum to talk about game strategies, cheat codes, or whatever. That would be really cool.

Re: Forum Suggestion

We have never had such a forum to avoid targeting the teenage / gamer type, instead trying to focus on reaching and attracting professionals with careers in IT. However, such discussion would be welcome in the Geeks' Lounge.

Re: Forum Suggestion

I understan pirates, but why not modders? My understanding is that they create modifications of the games -- Diablo LOD ((C)Blizzard) had lots of them that are fun to play. Some games are writtin with that in mind.

Re: Forum Suggestion

Instead of restating my arguments about it, I'll simply link to this thread.

>I got 2 votes so far.
There's lots of people that are in support of it. But that's not the issue here, as far as I can tell.

>well, isn't modding games illegal?
Depends. If the developer releases a mod kit for a game they've created, modding it is perfectly legal as long as you use the tools they provide. Where it turns illegal is when you start hacking the game itself, for example, giving yourself unfair advantages over other people in a multiplayer game.
