I'm okay with criminal laws that punish people for cheating in games that have cash prizes but I really don't want to see that applied to everyday games.
Let's so for old times sake I organize a lanparty with my friends from HS and during this event someone decides to turn on no clip to surprise their friends. Should this be criminal?
- tylerhou 5y agoIt depends on the harm done. Obviously if you’re playing with your friends there is likely no harm done. If you’re wasting 50+ other people’s time (e.g. FPS battle arenas) then you might want a harsher punishment. Of course there are degrees; I don’t think people should be thrown in jail for cheating in casual matches/pubs. But then if you cheat in a tournament where there are hundreds of thousands of $$$ at stake, jail time might be appropriate.

I mean athletes are not thrown in jail for doping in most places. If cheating are to be illegal, it needs gambling regulation and supervision, even if just for pros. And I don't think that would end well.
