It is a federal crime as it falls under the classification of cyber attacks! Soo it is a serious offense, something bungie should take soo serious, yet they have a track record of ignoring it's real impact! Some would say you and I are a paradigm, cannot have one good without the one evil! Cheating and hacking began with the game genie! If you wanted to completely dominate a game then you would have a genie plugged into your nintendo and wala you are now a god in your game! This desire carried into todays society, the only difference is it has impacted players that have no desire to cheat in a multiplayer universe! The sole reason a shift from multiplayer experiences is happening, to single player.
