*Disclaimer* I am not hating on PC. I love all the cool titles that are PC exclusives, and up until recently, preferred multiplayer oriented FPSs on PC.
Since buying, downloading, and playing CoD Ghosts,I have really come to notice the prevalence and uncontrollable hacking that is abound.
Ghosts is my example because it seems that aside from technical issues that have mostly been fixed, the main thing that keeps Ghosts at such a low population level (1,999 at time of this post), which makes only TDM and Domination playable, is the plague of hacks.
With Infinity Ward seemingly not taking any action against any hackers, I and many others have opted to leave CoD, and never buy another installment on PC.
However, it also seems that multiplayer F2P games like Loadout are now being hacked. There were even complaints about Titanfall hacks in the closed then open betas.
I find myself in the predicament that multiplayer focused PC ports almost always supports larger team sizes, has the potential for smoother frame-rates and higher fidelity graphics, yet is being kneecapped by hackers not being banned.
What is your stance? Did your Ghosts experience get ruined by the hackers and lack of moderation, are you interested in Titanfall? If so, does PC hacking make it less attractive to buy multiplayer focused games for PC? Are AAA FPSs that are mainly multiplayer on PC doomed to the fate of Ghosts?
