Steam’s popular party game “MECCHA CHAMELEON” sold more than 10 million units in less than a month after its release. However, while its popularity soared, the game also began to be invaded by cheaters. There are already cheating programs for sale publicly, with functions including hunter perspective, automatic coloring of hiders, invincible mode, etc. Some people even directly promoted it in a high-profile way on social platforms, causing many players to say: “Even hide-and-seek is cheating?”
Foreign players shouted angrily: Why is it in Chinese again?
What’s even more embarrassing is that because some plug-in interfaces, promotional videos and sales information are all in Chinese, many overseas players have begun to point the finger at Chinese players. Related discussions have even appeared in the Steam comment area and social platforms. Many people bluntly said, “You will know what is going on when you see Chinese.” However, there is currently no official evidence proving that the cheaters are mainly from China, and the true identity of the plug-in maker cannot be confirmed. Most of the relevant statements come from speculation and discussion in the player community.
Players are worried that popular games will follow the old path of cheating
“Super Chameleon” focuses on relying on observation and creative disguise to win, but now it has cheating functions such as perspective and automatic coloring, which directly destroys the core gameplay of the game and makes many players worry that this new game, which has just become popular, may soon be brought down by cheating problems. Many players also called on the official to launch more complete anti-cheating measures as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how interesting the party game is, it may lose its original fun due to the rampant cheating.
