I'm developing an online game. What stops me from having a command in my game where if a player is cheating or botting I invoke the command which starts deleting important shit on their hard drives and fucks up their computer? Is this legal?

What are you a pajeet?

I ask because only a pajeet would think this is maybe a good idea

It is likely very illegal yes and I'm not a lawyer, play that game and you'll likely get a decade in prison, it's the equivalent of destruction of private property/home invasion, a stupid home made license saying it's ok won't cut it, to be clear

And I wouldn't play that game if I were you... Even if it was "legal"

It's ill advised on your part, very stupid business decision

What will others players think of that? I will tell you, it's likely going to damage your brand, to begin with, nobody wants that sort of shit on his computer

And who's going to be responsible for the damages if this destructive system is used by somebody else? Never occured to you that you could eventually lose control of it?

You're going to be held responsible

Don't be an idiot and instead rethink your server side code, something is wrong with it, obviously, for you to need to resort to that sort of shit to prevent people from cheating

Nah it's a good idea I'm doing it.

Ok

You'll end up in prison lol, because people will likely label your game as a trojan horse / malware, and rightly so because that's exactly what it is

So it's going to be a disaster, evidently
