No kidding. Unfortunately there is basically no way to stop production hacks in particular. Literally anyone with a memory debugger could make one in about an hour by watching a video tutorial online. Hacks will be a non stop problem into perpetuity. Cheating is, unfortunately, extremely common in any competitive sport. The olympics had to ban entire countries because all their athletes were roided to the max.
Gotta love how his impulsivity causes him not only to hack, but to post it to youtube. Thatās why impulsivity predicts criminality. They donāt take time to think things through. You could make the argument that impulsivity doesnāt actually predict criminality, but that itās just the impulsive criminals that are caught ā the patient criminals commit a crime someplace nobody will even notice a crime was committed. Thatās why catching smart criminals is a game of āif I were a criminal and I wanted to accomplish X, I wouldāve done exactly what this person wouldāve doneā but unfortunately this method is not very reliably because you funnel a lot of very dumb people into this category who did those things just because, well, they are dumb. Itās very hard to tell the difference between a snake oil salesman and a person who a person who genuinely believes the snake oil cures cancer. If caught, the criminal will play dumb because he knows itās ambiguous. Even if stupid, the dumb person may have moments of lucidity that make it seem like they are smarter than they actually are (indicating they arenāt dumb enough to think snake oil is real, making them a snake oil salesman). So itās hard to catch the smart cheaters.
Iāll give you an example. A youtuber called Dream was doing minecraft speed runs. The problem is that he got so lucky with his in game drops that there was less than a one in a trillion trillion odds he got that lucky. Obviously, he was playing on a modded version of minecraft that increased the drop rates. So if you were a smart cheater, youād increase the drop rates, but only a little bit. Bump it up by 5%. Thatās gonna be a lot harder to detect.
Analogizing this to SC2, a smart production/map hacker would occasionally act like he was caught off guard by something. But he would never be caught totally off guard, you know what I mean. So there will still be a skew in the frequency of their most severe outcomes. So if you play a player and he keeps getting unbelievably lucky many times in a row, youāre probably dealing with a smart maphacker. The problem is, itās inferential evidence. You will never know for certain unless they do something truly blatant. If you want to catch the one time when they mess up, you gotta watch them like a hawk. Most people arenāt worth the brain space so they get to get away with it.
That being said, there is a twitch streamer I play all the time who basically never gets caught off guard by cheeses. One time he lifted his natās CC and moved it to the high ground based off of no scout. He didnāt do it when there was no cheese but he did do it when there was a cheese. Weird as heck, man. He probably is a hacker, but I will never have concrete proof because itās purely inferential. It could be he just keeps getting very lucky, but probably not.
