Exploits in the bestselling video game Dead Space 3 are allowing users to obtain in-game items for free.
The "cheats" could prove costly to the title's publisher, Electronic Arts (EA), which has introduced a system that charges users cash for extra equipment in the sequel.
The move has proved controversial with some, since the title already costs about £40.
EA has the ability to issue an update to remove the workarounds.
However, a spokesman said the firm had no comment on the issue.
Dead Space 3 is an action-horror third-person shooter set on a frozen planet.
Part of its challenge is locating scarce in-game resources needed to create ammunition and medical packs in order to tackle the title's monsters.
In previous games in the franchise, the user needed to find credits in order to buy upgrades. However, the new game introduces real-money micro-transactions as a way of allowing players to add equipment faster than would otherwise be possible.
