Hail Roland,
"If not, they're gonna have a very short-lived career."
Umm... how long have they been around for again? If I remember correctly, they have already outlived many, many gaming companies, and the industry must have a high infant mortality rate!
"Another sad fact: the bigger the target, the more people are gonna try and hit it (regardless of their skill)."
*nods* Reminds me of the clueless script kiddie that kept DDOSing Amazon.com. He didn't know the front end from the back door (poor attempt at humour), but still cost them a lot of money.
"and even moreso for passing judgement on just what was a hack, and what wasn't."
They could have just asked us: other than twinking, we collectively decided what is and is not legit very quickly, every time something came up ;) In short, almost everything was cheating :P
