YouTubers are working to shut down a Tekken 8 Discord community just for cheaters
Discord has a server for every interest under the sun, and for more than 300 users in Tekkenscript, that interest is breaking down Tekken 8's code to gain a competitive advantage. Now, a pair of YouTubers are trying to raise awareness of the cheaters. Tekkenscript is a haven for cheaters, where they share and promote the use of scripts for auto-blocking, combo execution, movement, and more. Members used the cheats in various Tekken 8 game modes, including ranked mode, and shared their accomplishments on the server. YouTubers Mike Hollow and Blackheart59 brought Tekkenscript to light in a February 26 video highlighting the server's activities, even tagging long-time Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada on Twitter in an effort to put an end to Tekkenscript's cheating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDXTB56pfyY The site sells access to the script with price points ranging between $3 and $100 and also advertises the capabilities of the cheats on its YouTube page. However, since the release of Mike Hollow's video, nearly all of the server's channels and posts have been deleted except for the ones advertising scripts. It also removed the ability to send messages from all users on the server except for the owners. Cheating has been a prevalent issue for Tekken 8. As of this writing, neither Harada, designer Michael Murray, nor Bandai Namco have responded to the situation. However, one of the Tekken development team's core philosophies is maintaining frequent communication with the players, so it may just be a matter of time. Meanwhile, more reports of servers and channels like Tekkenscript are surfacing. Cheaters negatively impact the health and longevity of a game, so hopefully, Bandai Namco can act soon to prevent further cheating, and Tekken 8 can continue thriving.
