The other hack went dormant because of the code, not because it was detected. They only detected long jumps and overt Open god-like behavior, and infinite fuel, from what I've read. When Horizons was released, money making was easy enough, no coders were interested in doing anything openly and some felt they were already being infiltrated by FDev so they went dark (ooooh sounds dramatic, Schmack... please tell me more). They've been doing this for a long time, and only recently either A) allowed someone else to control their gate keeping or B) people who have been doing it are getting nailed and so they want to turn double agent to profess innocence "no we were only there to spy on them".The same was true for the other hack. Untill FDEV found a way to detect it. Why do you believe it will be different this time?
That's actually how it has always been with cheating in every multiplayer game. Someone creates a hack, it works for a few months. Methods are found to detect it, players get banned for using it. Someone creates a new hack, and so on. The current situation is perfectly normal.
PS
Your thread is full of deliberate lies and misinformation by the way and it's quite interesting that nobody tried to correct them. I guess it's ok as long as it suits the agenda?
Whatever narrative is more entertaining, go with that one.
