What do you think makes people want to hack?

[91wow]

Hello, I was wondering what some of you think about what makes people want to hack games on PC. I for one am a competitive CS player, both lan and online and have came across a person either aim botting, auto trigger, no recoil, or wall hack every day since Christmas, then I thought to my self there has to be a reason behind this. I looked into it a bit and it seems having games like CSGO go on sale for $2 increases hacking in the game. My reasoning behind this is that they have less to lose with buying 12 copy of a $2 game to hack on than 2 copy to hack on. 

 

 

I want to hear what you all think of this idea. A lot of people I have talked to agree that when a sale like that happens there are more hackers in the game. Same when for arma 2 and the dayZ mod when arma 2 CO went on sale for $5 the amount of hackers went up a fair bit on popular servers. 

 

Just my little rant as all.

movie hackers

 

or they're just really bad and want to feel good about owning noobs

[Grape Guild]

They think that people will respect them because they can cheat their way to "glory".

[<boss2939>]

they like hearing 11 year old kids rage simple

[MatheusSanzo]

Lack of skills.

[silberdrachi]

Speaking from a programming perspective, because they can. Because they want to see if they can do it. Im willing to bet they dont even care if they get kills, or if they make people rage quit (though maybe a bonus). I can honestly say ive written some code before just to see if i could even do it.

 

Then again other people are motivated by money, and the stuff like CoD and BF hacks can get pretty pricy, even stuff for TF2 is like a monthly fee to get access to some of them.

[LogicDeifying]

Game hacking no skills they rage a lot they're bored.

As for internet/DDoS and device hacking in my case would be curiosity

I never hack online games, I don't even try to hack online based games.

 

However, some Offline/Single Player games I do hack. Games such as Fable 3 (Inf Health, Gold, etc..), Assassins Creed Black Flag (I like to use the Stealth hack to get past the parts when you have to Eavesdrop without being seen ), Batman Origins (Inf Health, Inf Upgrade Points, just because that game is insane hard, and I prob wont even get the chance to get all the good upgrades if I play legit).

 

Games like that, offline games I hack. I will never hack an Online game, because wouldn't like it if someone hacks a game that I am playing in. Its an unfair advantage. People that hack in an online game, are the same people that Team Kill in games just for fun, just because they suck at the game and can't get a legit kill against the opposite team.

 

 

EDIT: As for REAL hacking, Network Hacking, well most hackers do it because they can, and because they are trying to learn more about it. Real hacking is more about the Knowledge, it doesn't mean the person is a bad person or anything. Most of the time they are curious, and just want to learn how things like that work.

 

I got into real hacking a very long time ago. The OS I used was BackTrack, it was a Linux Based OS, Linux is the best OS for real world hacking, if you know how to use it properly.  I won't go into detail about backtrack on this forum, but you can google it yourself. I gave up real hacking awhile back, and got into Programming.

I think its trying to be cool... I have tons of friends who ALL say ask me is "how do you hack?" And I'm like, why do you want to know that?  Yet the same guy has a macbook and claims he can run  GTA IV on it...    So I think its trying to be cool... 

[Nit3Rid3R]

Can't cope with being too noob, and everyone else being too good for them, so they'll hack hoping people will recognize their "skill". 

[Cwazywazy]

Never hacked an online game. I did use a crapload of cheats playing GTA SA years ago though. (I had a little list of all the best cheats written down. I eventually memorized them.)

[The Great Lord Mccodi]

They lack sufficient motor skills so they use hacks.

L1, L2, R1, R2, left, down, right, up, left, down, right, up.

I have to agree with this. I mess around with all kinds of cheats/hacks in offline/singleplayer games. 

 

For online games, I would never try it, considering I'm super careful with all my games' account statuses. Also, I've learned to deal with dying/losing on a regular basis The only time I would consider it though, would be in my next point;

 

As for their motive, I think that a fair portion of them do it because they can, just to see what happens, like @silberdrachi said. Then for the "majority" of them who go about downloading, I really don't think I need to say anything about them..

Now with this, do you think it's smart for valve to keep releasing the game or games at a very low price like they have and no put the extra money made into a better anti-cheat system? 

[Foxxer]

Simply, self-esteem. 

[91wow]

Simply, self-esteem. 

Even then, some people buy 3 copys of games. One to be legit on, and two more to hack on.

[Camul]

So they can show off their 1337 hacker skills.

How is Origins insanely hard?? Are you playing on the hardest difficulty? Because on the normal difficulty it definitely isnt a hard game.

[dylandylandylan]

because the majority of commercial coders are lazy as hell with open code that is easy as all hell to crack, especially pre-built solutions.

It's scary how many big corporations are very open to the trained eye.

[Puppet]

I think there's two reasons:

 

Lack of skill, the worst kind.

 

Or

 

Want to make the game more interesting, can be entertaining in some games if everyone is in on it, but are usually a pain in the arse too and just trying to show off.

[Jogostar]

to boost their ego, for compensation of their tiny dick.

[SmirGel]

To make you mad...simple as that. Tho there might be other reasons so it varies why not go ask from hacking forum?

Most hacking forums are full of nothing but asses. Why not ask more respectable people?

That's like asking from a police officer why did the criminal steal food from the store.

 

If you ask from the person who did it he might say he didn't have any money for food and was hungry so he had to steal.

 

So why would you ask it here where most people think cheaters are doing it cus they aren't good and etc.

If I go to a hacking forum they will say the same thing or just go "Because I can". Why would I go out of my way, make a new account, on a HACKING FORUM to ask a question i can ask here? 

 

That's like going to cop but first going into training to be a cop just to ask the food question. 

 

This is in the off topic section for a reason. It's off topic.
