      When Minecraft came out there was no creative move, so my friend and I would use a program to find the RAM for the inventory and freeze the counters at 255 and build massive castles.

      I’m guessing they can do that with their sample count somehow.

        CheatEngine is pretty comprehensively awesome… But only the absolutely the worst kind of people use it a large multiplayer game (not your small Minecraft server obvs. That is smart)

          CheatEngine should hopefully not work on helldivers as the game has a kernel-level anticheat…

            Almost certainly doesn’t… but it makes for a good concrete example of a good tool that can be used by idiots
