I genuinely do not understand why cheating in video games is not taken more seriously. If you go and disrupt 200 paying customers at a movie, you'll be kicked out and everyone will get refunded if your behavior is bad enough.
But if you cheat in a video game and ruin the experience for potentially millions of paying customers? You might, MAYBE, get banned in a few months as part of a ban wave, but not after making thousands of dollars.
- screengames 7y agoKind of feel the opposite. It's just a game and cheating is pretty funny.
- deadbunny 7y agoIt can be funny sometimes depending on the cheater (and the cheats) but more often than not it's some preteen edgelord just ruining the game for everyone. Air dropping a platoon of parachute equipped cows over Cherno during the zombie apocalypse? Pretty funny. Teleporting behind the enemy team as they spawn and instantly headhotting everyone in 1/2 a second during a competitive FPS? Not fun. When you have a couple of hours a week to play your favourite game only to have it ruined by cheaters for your entire play time it is the definition of not fun. I have zero problem with people cheating in single player games but when you start negatively affecting others experiences that's where the line should be drawn.
