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?

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

>New York Laws and Penalties on Distribution of Malicious Software New York’s penal code does not have a specific malware offense. Instead, those who are accused of the distribution of malicious software can be charged with: Unauthorized use of a computer: Knowingly accessing a computer, computer service, or computer network without proper authorization is a Class A misdemeanor under Code Section 156.05. Computer trespass: Code Section 156.10 makes it a Class E felony to knowingly use, cause to be used, or access a computer, network, or computer service with the intent to commit or facilitate the commission of a felony or to gain access to computer material. Computer tampering in the first, second, third, or fourth degree. These offenses range from a Class A misdemeanor under Code Section 156.20 to a Class C felony under Code Section 156.27 depending upon the methods used to tamper with the computer and the amount of damage done as a result. You can be charged with these offenses even if you never had direct access to anyone’s computer, as long as the malware you were responsible for distributing accessed the system. You could go to prison for as long as 15 years for each offense of first degree computer tampering, so penalties if convicted can be very significant.
