Bots buying game somehow is not infinite money glitch for developers. Assumption of complete lack of mental capacity of dev.
Nobody except ‘Bad Guy’ can run server. Or if there is, none of them will run server just to play game instesd of profiting. Assumption of complete lack of mental capacity of players.
‘Bad Guy’ somehow makes more money from servers than spends on botting.
And now I will add new assumption I missed:
‘Bad Guy’ spends less on botting, than it costs to reverse engieneer protocol or make new game.
You dont need bots to ruin a game, ddos is sufficient and cheap enough to come by, probably even easier in the future.
Argument 2 already covered in other comment below
Your reply basically was “even if they will not profit from it, they still can abuse company by doing it”. It does not address critique of implicit assumptions such takes.
Such position is fundamentally anti-social and similar to making shopping center contaminate enviroment with radiation when company, that owns it, goes bankrupt, because “it would open ways for abuse”. Except it’s even more nonsensical(see 2, 3 and 4).
If anything, this is not an argument against SKG, this is argument against capitalism as a whole.
I prepared for this argument very long time ago.
