I find people’s reaction to this bug odd. If there was a cheat code IDDQD, would you use it? I assume not, or if you would that’s also fine.
My point is knowing there’s a bug which is basically cheat mode doesn’t mean you now must use it. I literally couldn’t care less if they didn’t patch... nothing has changed in the game for me
If the IDDQD cheat was permanently on, would you suggest people bothered by it should just close the game whenever they receive lethal damage?
What are you talking about, how is it permanently on 🤣 you literally have to press the backspace for something to happen. The fact that no one noticed before shows it’s not a big deal
Any time the AI gets to attack me, it's because I allowed it to do so because the AI can't move if I don't want it to.
So sorry, the cheat turns the whole game into even more of a farce than before.
Just don’t press the button. I assume you’ve ploughed hundreds if not thousands of hours into this game, without pressing backspace, so clearly you are capable of playing this game without pressing it, just continue like that and you’ll be fine
Here's a question, why shouldn't I use this any time the AI is poised to attack me?
You’ve paid Money for a game where the premise is for the ai to attack you. The goal is to strategically better the ai.
That’s at least my expectation when I play the game. Just because I can undo that doesn’t mean I’ll want to
But then since I have a legal tool to stunlock the AI, it would be strategically better to always make use of it. Why allow attacks you can avert with minimal effort?
Legal? WTH?
It's not a cheat.
It's not within the rules of the game.
CA put it within the rules of the game. It's on them to fix it.

Not really. They just forgot it. What you're saying is basically that if someone leaves the door open you've the right to rob his house.

They left the door open, gave me the keys and then told me to take whatever I like. Why should I not take them up on the offer?

They didn't. They just left a bug in. But by now I'm convinced you just argue for the sake of arguing, so I'll leave it here.

Of course they did. I am not in any way punished for taking everything just like using this exploit doesn't result in any negative consequences. It doesn't disable achievements, it doesn't brick my campaign saves...there's right now no downside to using this. Yes, the campaign turns farcical and trivial, but when has that ever stopped anyone here?

It's not a cheat.

CA put it within the rules of the game. It's on them to fix it.
By that logic, all CA has to do is label a "cheat code" and it has been fixed.
Again, this is no different from old cheat codes on consoles. It only impacts the game if you let it.
That said, it still needs to be fixed (and not by labeling it a cheat ), but I dont see it as an urgent need.

You don't need to input anything to get this to work so there's no point to relabling it.
And simply fixing the faulty UI flag that enables this would be easier than trying to sell it as a cheat anyway.
