Just stop..

Using "This is a 12 year old game" as an argument for anything. Who cares how old the game is? Why does the age matter? Someone give me one good reason why the age of the game matters in any argument.

Quit arguing about whether or not the 12-year old game fact matters, it's a 12 year old game for pete's sake

People should know how stuff works and not have to cheat? All of the information is right there on the internet, but people are still SO terrible at the game that they have to use MQ2/SEQ, make guides for boss fights and throw tantrums like little spoiled children when it comes to bosses because people can't share.

The actual argument is, "it's only a game."

People add the 12-year old part because its more pejorative. Unfortunately, it also dulls the point.

It's only a game.

The "It's only a game" argument is bullshit as well.

It provides scope.

Someone cheating at StarCraft2 is one thing.
Someone cheating at a 12-year old emulated game is another.

While being caught cheating at something is embarrassing in any regard, I think cheating at something so niche is just downright humiliating.
