The Week in Review

This week we learn that some members of Congress aren't on board with SOPA, social game cheaters are really cheaters and we give you one more reason not to pirate games.

Does this really come as a surprise to anyone? A recent survey of social gamers in the U.S. and U.K. conducted by PopCap found that the vast majority of gamers don't use hacks, bots or other cheats while they play social videogames, but among those who do, the tendency to cheat in other aspects of life - "real life," you might call it - is much higher than it is in people who play by the rules. PopCap used 1201 "qualified responses," 801 from the U.S. and 400 from the U.K., from people who play social videogames for more than 15 minutes per week.

Origin? Oh, nevermind.

Well that's what you get for playing a soccer game. Get off your butt and go play real soccer instead of these shovel-ware sports games.

Nice to see people aren't letting political differences get in the way of stopping this. I've always understood that Americans of both political parties value freedom above all else, and allowing this nonsense through the government will take freedom away from them and from the rest of the world.
