Major Nelson: Gamerscore Correction

[Bube]

I think it's stupid. I think you should be able to cheat as much as you want in games you own - gaming isn't supposed to be about being a community (especially when you don't care about 99% of it), or going after scores to show off to people (99% of whom you don't care about). It's about fun, and if you have fun cheating, then cheat as much as you want - unless, of course, you're playing against others. Gamerscore comparison is not playing against others, as MS would like us to believe.

I look at it this way...

The people who care the most about achievements are probably the ones who are actually out there TRYING to achieve them...

If you're just having a bunch of fun via cheating, you either don't really care about achievements, or you're a sad sap intentionally doing it to look better amongst the Xbox Live gaming public...

If you don't care, what does it matter, and if you're a sad sap, then I can't really argue with what Microsoft is doing...

Good on them. There's no point in going and cheating on something as miniscule as a gamerscore.
