It’s interesting to see how the gaming industry is increasingly cracking down on third-party marketplaces that exploit in-game economies. While Take-Two’s lawsuit is a bold move, it’s a reminder of how much effort goes into keeping games fair and fun for everyone.

It’s wild how the battle against hacked accounts and virtual currency has become such a big part of maintaining game integrity these days. Props to Take-Two for taking a stand, but it’s a shame they even have to deal with this in the first place.
