    [QUOTE=Forzah;6074666]If done illegitimately, it's called an offense, otherwise, it's being smart. No item was actually taken from the store, so you can't call it stealing.

    Note that it is possible to carry out the offense independent of the existence of the store, so it is very strange to call it stealing when there is a store, and something else when there isn't; it's consistent to use the same name in both cases.[/QUOTE

    Sure it's not stealing it's cheating. Where I'm from you can get killed (or just severely beaten) for cheating.

    No person was actually killed you can't call it execution. It's more like kicked out of, all assets(not just the cheating gains) removed. But not bared ftom p[laying again..

    I would liken it to getting caught cheating in a poker game getting run out and losing your entire stake not just from the hand(s) you cheated at.

    Punishment may have been harsh(don't know the details of the offenses) But not unreasonable,

    Analogy time!

    In this particular case, SSG went to a local bar (that bar will go unnamed since saying the name of that forum, I mean bar is also banworthy) and actively recruited people to come to their own poker game and cheat with a thorough explanation of HOW to cheat at that specific poker game.

    ...and then ran them out of the of the game and took their entire stake, not just the hand(s) they cheated at.


    I'm not going to defend cheaters. I am going to repeatedly point out just how underhanded and unethical that gambit was for SSG to pull.

    So of course you have some proof that this happened, right? Of course not. Stop defending cheaters, it was in every way their fault, and until someone links SSG to exploits with proof, your idea is just a crappy meme, similar to the idea that SSG caught up some innocents in the banwave.

    Not to mention unsubstantiated and down right pointless, counterproductive even, it would be to do such a thing.

    Why would any company want to entice customers into putting themselves into a position to become former customers?
