Recently there has been a discovery on how players cheated to win MLB 2K12's Perfect Pitch Challenge. Multiple users found a way to swap out the best hitters in a team's lineup and replace them with the weak links. Unfortunately for the ones who won a perfect game legitimately are screwed, and 2K has made a statement that nothing is going to change.

Here's the OS staff's opinions on the matter...

"Yea, if all I had to do was cheat at a game to get a million dollars, sorry: rent/bills > morals."

That's what I posted in the other thread for this. Cheating is wrong and all that stuff, but cheating at a game for a million dollars? I can live w/ that on my conscious.

Shame on 2K for investing this much time, effort, and money into a contest that can be exploited as simple as it was.

What if you cheated, and the person you beat out needed the money more than you?

They should probably be doing something other than playing a video game to make money then.

We all should be. The point is that if that person worked hard and played by the rules to pitch a perfect game, a cheater should not go ahead of him. And the cheater should feel really guilty about possibly taking moeny away from an honest person.

You're changing your argument. You initally asked what if the person needed the money more. My point was, they shouldn't be relying on a video game for an income. I should have been specific on that point.

You're right the cheater shouldn't go ahead of the honest person. I never said anything against that. I said if I could cheat at a game to get a million dollars I would. Should I? No. Would I? Yes.

One of the dudes "Handles" that is in the Final 8 in "Da Cheat618"....

I wonder how he got in.

In all honesty, having to be around the people that are probably in this would not be worth the Mil, I can only imagine what they are like. Gross.

ShizNo1, you're right, I did change the argument. Sorry. So I'll address that now. I don't think that playing a video game trying to win a million dollars should be anyone's substitute for an actual job, but i doubt anyone has treated it that way. I don't think that anyone treats it as their primary income earner. But maybe someone wants to make some extra money sitting on his butt after a long day at work. No foul in that.

If we allow ourselves to cheat on anything, we will eventually condone cheating in everything. And cheating for a million dollars is a big cheat.
