Hmm, I wonder if people cheat at Counter-Strike 2 as well. Some folks are awfully good, almost inhumanly so, but I (perhaps foolishly) assumed the VAC system was working.

Not sure if this is a joke but CS2 is rife with cheaters, especially on Valve servers

  What other servers are there?

    ESEA, FACEIT, or just other random private servers. There are several third party matchmaking services with extra anti-cheat, tighter reputation metrics, and are paid instead of free to play.

Yes, but CS2 anti cheat works a lot better.

  I think a little while ago Valve reduced the amount of symbols that ship in Linux and Mac build of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (as it was then) - I assume to make it harder for cheaters. Team Fortress 2 continues to ship with fairly generous symbols in Linux and Mac builds.

Vac only catches the most basic cheat techniques. Its not that hard to get past it, the real challenge is not distributing your code so that valve gets a copy of it to reverse.

People cheat in every game. Among other factors, it's a matter of the service provider's level of moderation. Even if there are a lot of cheaters, if the host bans them quickly enough, they aren't much of a problem for the user experience.
