Thanks for injecting me with 500 Cursed Black Knight Ultra Greatswords

The author explores the game's complex reputation, the technical reasons behind the crashes, community-developed anti-cheat mods like Blue Acolyte, and ultimately tracks down the hacker to understand the motivations behind such actions.
