General Interaction between hacked game, og games and paid currencies?

nostalgia2302 · May 30

Hey all!

I'm very new to all of this so I apologize if this is not the correct section for posting.

I'd like to understand the methodology and interaction that goes between a hacked game, the original version, paid currencies and game accounts/profiles. For example:

An iOS App Store game sells currency. Let's say 3000 diamonds for $12.99. The hacked apps makes the currency free and unlimited.

To save my OG game progress, I sync it/create an account tied to my Apple ID, Facebook, Google or the Apple Game Center, correct?

What I want to understand is: what happens if I log with that account on the hacked app, get the currencies I want, and then log on the OG game again? Wouldn't their servers be alerted immediately to the huge influx of currencies in order to guarantee a ban?

Hello!

It depends on the game, but most of the times if the currency can be hacked, it's likely safe from being banned.

Modding on iOS is not as popular for companies to spend extra time trying to secure their app.

However, there's always a risk and you shouldn't make yourself too obvious.

Really? even the popular "currency" games like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Monopoly Go?

Not implying those are the games I want - just somewhat surprised at your statement because these games sell a miserable amount of currency for astronomical prices. We are talking about games where 14,000 diamonds /gems / coins sell for $120 USD and you can easily use that up in 30 minutes. So I'm skeptical about them not having extreme security measures because mobile games seem to be super lucrative.

That being said, what do you mean by not making oneself too obvious? limiting your modded currency to a certain amount? limiting the number of currency you generate over a certain time period?

Of course, I could stick to the modded game apps and enjoy the perks as long as I want. But at least with the official version you have more reassurance in the sense that you know the game or the certificate will not be invalidated anytime soon and you're actually playing with the global playerbase (not sure if modded apps access the official game global playerbase for things like PvP and arena events)
