The biggest problem in any online game or interaction is the inability to control cheaters. The problem in playing with cheaters is that it ruins the fun, moreover, you are left disappointed with the fact, particularly in Among Us, that even in a non-complex game, cheating is inevitable.
We were doing some research past week about the Among Us trends across the world and found people complaining about cheating problems. At first, it could’ve been easily deduced that the best (and the silliest) way to cheat in this game is to reveal who’s the killer, which would mean you’ll want to be in communication capacity with other players. And in today’s world, that’s not a hard ask.
A game like Among Us, which has pretty decent play-style. You’re in a spaceship cruising through the universe with other cremates where one of you have gone rough. There’s literally no fun in cheating or even being a companion to one. I mean all fun in Among Us is in the element of surprise, an art of lying or camouflaging. What’s the point of even discussing who’s the Imposter if it ruins the subjugating effect?
While I was on my research, I read an article by Kotaku, which also discussed the line which has already been crossed. We are not talking about silly cheats anymore. It’s real deal, the hackers have already sabotaged the mechanics. The hackers are killing people at one-go if they’re the chosen one. Moreover, even crew-mates are hacking to discover who’s the Imposter just as the game begins.
Honestly, it makes no sense. The game is being played by millions now, majority of which are through mobile devices. Among Us developers would have never even thought of this incredible feat during the launch. But here we are.
The game’s developer InnerSloth in a conversation with the publication have already mentioned that they’re working on a resolution. Though, it tells us a lot in a metaphorical world of bad fishes and the pond.
