Because some of these actions might qualify as criminal offenses and if Discord had knowledge about it or even supported it, they'd be complicit.
I really hope this blows up in their face if true.
Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.
From the perspective of looking at the internet of today, the future is 1996.
Change my mind.
There is also discord guilds for sharing cheats, which is very damaging to the massive fps games industry. If discord would be complicit why doesn’t valve or riot sue them?
Using systems built into the game is damaging to the industry?
Or do you mean cracks/hacks? Because if it's a cheat, that's something the devs explicitly added.
And looking at Nintendo vs the R4, these companies do take down sites discussing/sharing hacks and cracks. Just not as publicly as you might expect it to happen because why would they, it's just a lawyer sending a very formal letter asking for them to either take it down, or their company will be taken down in court.
I’m talking about aimbots and wallhacks for online FPS games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwzIq04vd0M
