Rockstar Creates 'Cheaters Pool' For Game Hackers

Posted by timothy on from the we-call-this-area-d-block dept.

itwbennett writes "Rockstar Games announced yesterday in a newswire post that the company has created a 'cheater's pool' (sort of like the populating of Australia with criminals) where players who have hacked the game to give themselves advantages will only be able to play against other cheaters. Although, Ars Technica points out that players may actually prefer the 'special' world."

    the company has created a 'cheater's pool' (sort of like the populating of Australia with criminals)
