If you are a professional gamer then of course you’re going to hate cheats. It’s no different to professional athletes hating peers who take performance enhancing drugs.
If your money and reputation comes from you being good at something, you’re going to dislike people who cheat.
Edit (for clarity): the more senior you are in a sport, the more likely you are to support invasive countermeasures compared to hobbyists.
- seoaeu 5y agoYou say that like amateur athletes think more highly of cheaters. I'd say almost anyone would be unhappy about competing against opponents who don't play fairly
- laumars 5y agoI say that because the GP seemed confused why pros were in favour of anti-cheat software.
- bytehowl 5y agoEveryone who has at least two brain cells to rub together hates cheaters, in video games and otherwise.
- laumars 5y agoMy point is: the more serious you are into a sport, the more severe measures you’re likely to support to counter cheats. Hence why pros will support anti-cheat software while those who just play causally are more likely to find it abusive.
