You misunderstood. No, I have long games and save too and come back to them. That’s completely cool. I’m talking about backing up your save once you’ve hit a high score. Then you finish your game, it gets recorded, right? But then say someone passes you on the leaderboard. Instead of starting from scratch the person just loads his past game from the point where he was already over a billion and still had three balls left and starts from there and then only has to make up the difference. That’s what I was referring to and think is cheating. Or, even worse, they could just be constantly backing it up during one play through. Lose a ball shortly after backing it up? No problem, just load your most recent save and try again. And there’s no way to tell if people are doing that or not. But just knowing that it’s possible makes it likely that at least someone has done it.
That said, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, it just makes you wonder and I wish it wasn’t possible. I really don’t get the mindset of someone who would cheat just to get their name on a video game leaderboard, especially when they themselves know it doesn’t represent anything because it’s not legit.
