> Cheating does happen on PC. I've seen it maybe twice in the last 15 years. Wouldn't call that rampant. I think I can safely say that every competitive online game with a sizeable player base has a cheating problem. How bad that problem is varies - my impression is that Overwatch is pretty good (I've never noticed cheaters, only heard reports), whereas Rainbow 6 Siege is much worse - I have noticed cheaters several times and have had MMR awarded due to matches lost to people later banned for cheating.

Played R6 for the first six or so months after it released, whenever I could get my friends to join in. Can't say I ever saw a cheater there. Never played Overwatch, didn't interest me. I'm told that Dark Souls is the perfect storm of peer-to-peer and trusting clients, but I've only seen videos of cheaters, never in-person. And I've created many characters purely for invasions and summoning. Amusingly enough, one of the two times I referenced above was actually in Minecraft of all places. We started noticing one player getting resources far faster than everyone else, faster than was reasonable for even a very good/lucky player. I mean multiple nether stars in the span of half an hour, that kind of thing. I think they were filling up books and that somehow let them duplicate items.
