Ahh, you missed the point.
The idea that people would believe that the devs would allow people to cheat for money is what is funny.. because it is so ridiculous if you know the devs (even if only by reputation).
The extra funny is the effort that went into the joke.. were those 3d created icons just for one day? Kudos if they were because I LOVE disproportionate effort in the pursuit of humour.
