It may be that “War Commander”, which is the case study here, is a unique case and it may be that strategy MMO’s might have different dynamics than other games (and if so, please let us know in the comments section). However, it may well be the case that the in-game dynamics and the response of the developers to cheating in their games varies, and that the phonemenon plays itself out differently from game to game. What we are claiming is that insofar as the main ‘cheating engine’ tools used in Facebook games support most or all games on Facebook, this problem is pervasive and endemic. Together, we have witnessed the various forms of Facebook cheating evolve, and have had discussions over the implications of these to the Facebook gaming in general.Ī valid question is whether this discussion of cheating in Facebook games applies to some or most Facebook games. An avid Facebook gamer, my friend has spent an average of 8 hours per day for more than two years playing “War Commander”, and other Facebook games. This article is based on the experiences of a friend and colleague, whom I will call Adam (not his real name). How this article came to be (and a disclaimer): This article aims to shed light on why this is so, as well as the implications of cheating on Facebook gaming in general.

And while you would think that a cheat-filled playing field might spell the death of a game, with gamers deserting it in droves, this does not seem to be the case. What is clear, however, is that cheating is so rampant that ‘legitimate’ players, in order to remain competitive – or simply to stay in the game – have to either engage in it or at least devise ways to deal with it, such as investing time and energy in detecting and reporting cheaters, and in some cases spending thousands of dollars trying to fight hackers off. Strangely, these cheats somehow manage to make their way from the individual browser into the game’s central database, and seem to be either hard to detect by the developers, or they simply look the other way, perhaps having accepted that cheating activity is part and parcel of Facebook gaming. These are designed to change variables such as increasing one’s gold or resources, or accelerating repairs or upgrades so that they take seconds rather than weeks.
