Kid share plays Destiny to stranger...

... "Kid deserved it"... Yeah, okay. Based on what sort of ridiculous self-sufficient paranoid moral code?

um, right from wrong? Cheating blew up in his face.

A lot of people would call that Karma, or a lesson learned...even for an 11 year old.
 
Yeah, totally, the kid learned his lesson. That's why, if I'm at the library and somebody asks me to look after their stuff, I set it on fire and throw it out the window. Or if someone asks me for directions, I kick them in the shins. That's what you get for being trusting or lazy. I did them a service.

... "Kid deserved it"... Yeah, okay. Based on what sort of ridiculous self-sufficient paranoid moral code?

How is that in any way equivalent? A better comparison would be an 11 year old asking a stranger to look out for the store clerk while he steals a Mars bar and then the stranger rats him out.

so cheating as a kid is acceptable? If you have kids, please tell me you are not teaching them that...

You have never glitched in a game before in your life? The way I see it is that if you aren't ruining others experience, you're all good. Glitches like loot caves and fast leveling are all fine by me.

I feel bad for the kid losing his hard work, but handing over control of your game to a complete stranger, while streaming on Twitch (in kind of an obnoxious way, I might add)? Might as well paint a giant bulls-eye on his forehead.

Hopefully he's learned a lesson from all this and hopefully the person that deleted his characters gets banned from the game if he plays it, though honestly, the instant you give over your controls to someone else, they can do what they want, even if it's being a complete jerk.

Whether he gets his characters back or not is down to Bungie and the way they store those sorts of things. Hearing the kid crying at the end was a bit depressing, but it's not like his dog was just ran over. He'll get over it.
 
Yeah that's just stupid. There should obviously be restrictions.
You can always stop the sharing at any time after you hand over the virtual controller. You are in total control, but the scenario here is a kid who stepped away from the game and ended up powering the console down just to be damn sure.

God damn, does GAF have a relentless mean streak. All I can feel is bad for the kid. Cheating to level up in Destiny isn't a serious enough charge to overrule the fact it's a crying 11 year old who now maybe can't play with his friends because his character is gone.

Just duck off. He wanted to use a glitch. Don't want people using glitches? Pull your shit together and don't fuck up.

Just duck off!?! Well, flip you melon farmer!!!

I agree, Bungie should get their shit together and do what Blizzard and CCP do. Ban accounts en masse.

LOL. This thread is embarrassing. Just a bunch of victim-blaming. The lesson here is that everyone is a dick, trust no one, Hobbes Was Right.
 
Who in this case is the store being stolen from?

He was circumventing Bungie's wishes. Isn't that why they got rid of the loot cave exploit, because they don't want people to use glitches to skip the grind? I mean it's not like pickpocketing a Mars bar from a convenience store is really going to hurt the owner when it's probably a net loss of like 30 cents.

The main takeaway for me of this thread is that Destiny is not a terribly well designed game if pretty much everyone is trying to skip the bulk of it. Maybe the best lesson this kid could take is to find a better game.

So is it cheating when you have your friend or family help you with a game?

He wasn't trying to have a friend or family help him with a tough part, which is what Shareplay was actually designed for. He was trying to have a stranger cheat for him in a multiplayer game because he was too lazy to put in the effort to be lazy on his own.

Anybody here who has ever played a video game and used some glitch or technique to progress in a game in which the developers did not intend is cheating scum and they deserve what's coming to them!
 
It is possible to find humor in the situation but also feel bad for the kid. I don't think there has to be a line in the sand with this.

I find the situation itself comical, but I also want to kick this KermitTHEFrog character in the taint.
 
I hope that d-bad feels good about himself. God damn, people suck.

Oh well, this kid should consider it a life lesson. Do not trust people. They will fuck you.

Karma is bullshit. What he deserved would be the penalty for violating any TOS, if he did. The character deletion and his desire to essentially get rushed through boring grindy levels are totally unrelated. It's like you went hunting out of season, and a stranger threw your model train set in a lake. Not even because the former is illegal. It's more like you used some lure to attract the deer... unsporting, but so the fuck what?

My melons will crush your puny potatoes!

Yeah blame the gamer and ban their accounts! It is much easier than fixing and patching the game. What an asshole anti consumer thinking.

It must be rough getting through the day for you. Also I don't see where you think other people find amusement because they don't feel bad.


He got his monk deleted and then some dude blacksmithed a Ancient legendary.

Oh, that it? Must be young to be that upset. Dick move for sure, but could be worse.

Got me again! My life has been a sham up until now, thank you for showing me the light.
Darkflow, your posts seriously lack substance. Is this all you intend to do? Make sarcastic snide remarks to every other person? You're not saying anything. Every comment you're making here is just another little nothing meant to make you seem like you're too cool to care. Theres a good chance you'll just continue with a response to this, but you should know the act is pretty transparent.

I bet the person that did it was just like the people in this thread. Trying to justify his actions by saying, "He was trying to cheat!!!!!"

I'm blown away by some of the comments I've read in this thread. I felt bad, poor kid - but he learned a lesson the hard way and he will move on. I'd help the kid get caught up but I'm sure plenty of others have already offered based on the YouTube comments.

Stealing is illegal. We have laws to deal with that. So that part isn't comparable to this.
The kid didn't get reported to Bungie, he had his work destroyed. So that part isn't comparable either.

Bungie is free to remove any exploits they wish. Anything left in the game is fair game. "Against Bungie's wishes" is a laughable transgression.

That's fucked up. I hope he at least reported them to Sony/Bungie.

He had the cry of innocence lost. Brutal.
