    Remember when the way to beat hard bosses was to either git gud or input a built in cheat code? Pepperidge Farms remembers

    MMO veterans might be very interested in this kind of totally never seen before type of play automation

      Remember when the way to beat hard bosses was to either git gud hand the controller to an older sibling/cousin/friend or input a built in cheat code?

      Why would you single out MMO veterans in this scenario? I’ve been playing MMOs since 2001 AND I git gud. I am the older sibling/cousin that you hand your controller to when you don’t want to git gud to pass a boss.

      Overall… I hate this idea that Sony has. If this becomes the norm I might never play a new game again 😭

        Not op, but I took it as being because MMOs are the only one form of modern games where anyone really cares if the player cheats. So MMOs tend not to leave developer cheat codes lying around.

        (Edit: Yes, other competitive games do exist, I guess.)

          Ahh that makes sense, I totally misunderstood it. My bad. Also there are auto playing programs that exist lol. People use programs to create bots that farm gear, materials, and currency. EverQuest has one called MacroQuest that has the ability to do literally everything for you 😹
