Anyone who's made a mod will know that there is a set of images for a "load game" button in the main menu. Chris is on record somewhere - I'm afraid I can't say exactly where - as saying that an early build of the game had a save game feature, which was taken out (just like the cooling section of the hardware) because it made the game too easy. There was no real challenge if when you got caught you could just load from before the hack.
Since when is it putting words into the developer's mouth to quote them?

You know i diagree with those words Andriac. So i suggest you shutup and leave this fourm. Cuz i dont want to hear about how you think this is cheating so much. You've made your point to us and I simply dont care. If your going to argue about this start your own fourm. You dont need to keep adding to your opinion.
And i started this fourm as information, not as a question of wether its cheating or not.

No need for a flame war here, I suggest all of you stop posting in this thread, a mod no doubt will be locking it. I do hate to tell them how to do their job, as I know they hate it, but I suggest they do.

I have a feeling this topic is going to go no where. We know that you can back up your user now, but what else is going to come out of this? I can only foresee flame wars.
I totaly aggree with SlaVitiCkus. In my opinion, this should be locked.

Ok, first and foremost try not to flame 'cause Jericon will come along with his magic locking stick.
I honestly think that backing files up is cheating. You should be careful and try not to get caught. If you get caught, it's all part of the learning experience. However , as Adriac said, there is no point in getting in an argument about it. Everyone is entitled to their own views, and cheating is perfectly acceptable to many. If it makes your game more fun then it's worth it, right?

I backed up the back up of the backup. Is that triple cheating?

That's just paranoid..
Ok, If you are going to say something here, stay on topic and dont say stupid things. If you have a comment just say and we'll get your point. No need for a flame war here and yes this form if it continues like this it is going to get locked.
Just please say your comments and dont continue adding to them.
You hypocrite...
In a way you could call it cheating, but in another, you still need to be able to do the hack, or stop the passive trace or whatever needs to be done, so it still requires the effort to get past that point. Just you have infinite tries.

Technically if you do lose, loading up your file would be like a 50,000 credit cheat if that was how much you had, because it is money you should not have because you are caught.
Backing up your .usr file is sort of like the Monty Python Maneuver in EV: it's there and whether you choose to use it or not is up to you. If you want to use it, go ahead. If you don't, that's swell too. It's all a matter of personal opinion and values. The issue of the MP Maneuver was never really settled, and I doubt it ever will be. My guess is that backing up your .usr file will become much like MP Maneuver in terms of debate.

Monty Python manuever? Whatever, lets stay on topic. I think that the game shoudl have had a save feature, and as I said, my computer would have a broken screen if I didn't back up

Stay on topic here, please
I think that since this is a hacking game, you should be able to perform hacks on the game itself. I figured this out myself, and I think it is kind of a hack.

Isalhala, You're a miracle worker because that is the best comment posted in this forum yet
I'm not sure I follow that logic. Are you aware of the meaning of the word "game"?
yes, do you want a definition?
And I know one thing that doesn't have logic, your brain
maybe a second
Do you know what,"Dont Post in this forum again" means?
