yea, and as big databases are crucial for bots (they lack common sense) it would be easier to make a bot.

But anyway the sites watch you for many "bad" habits. e.g. they control if you don't go to certain site, if you don't datamine "too much" (some sites) or if you don't use banned software.
Yes, you can buy a second computer to run that "bad" software there. But the fact you can break into a treasury doens't mean that banks will store their deposits at the deck.




They would lose the possibility to effectively control users.
Plus by using "unified" software for all the sites the sites would lose one of their advantages.





If you want that then make them to join a shared network. We all know why it doesn't work (because the sites focus primarily on high volume players and steal them from other sites).
In both players and rooms interest should be to take in new players.
