While initially we just saw a teaser trailer for the game for the first time, it already showed so much promise, style, and most importantly, a striking and bold new world to explore. Fast-forward
With every game that features multiplayer elements, there are always players who hack the game, or cheat because they have nothing better to do than…play the game like everyone else and earn their stripes?
