As someone who has played semi-competitive games for a long time.. yes, the nature of man is to cheat ;) Not everyone, but enough. Rather than try to shape man, I would rather make a game "cheat proof".
- chmod775 5y ago> As someone who has played semi-competitive games for a long time.. yes, the nature of man is to cheat It is not. But it doesn't take many cheaters to ruin a game for everyone. In competitive online games, I'd estimate that less than 5% of all players in my games are behaving dishonorably in some way. And that is even though aimbots, AI assistants etc. are readily available to those who seek them out. If they weren't online games, the number would probably be even lower. In any case, those numbers would be far away from the point where you could make statements like "the nature of man is to cheat". That feels a bit like saying "in stories most people identify with villains". They obviously don't - most people don't want to be that kind of person. Though obviously some have given up on themselves.
- wolverine876 5y agoI can't remember the last time I played a game with someone who cheated. The nature of humans is to murder, steal, etc., but it's not really a risk when I'm playing chess. In other words, people have free will, they have a choice, to cheat or not.
