When i see people defending or pretending that they don't exist on X or Y game i always get suspicious that they are cheating too, not normal a regular player that never cheated but plays MP games for more then 10 years to know when someone is cheating, i mean there are a lot of people cheating and me and others don't know or realize it because those cheaters are doing a great job on hiding it but there are so many more that don't care or don't know how to hide the cheats they are using.
My steam account is 13 years old and i have a bunch of games there, Origin is the same old account, Blizzard, Uplay, GOG, Bethesda, Epic and you name it are all clean and old accounts that never got a cheating issue because i'm against that kind of behavior and think they destroy the multi player scene and the fun for the majority of people that plays the games like they should be played.
Cheating is lame and people doing it are not really smart in my opinion, like if you cheat and win a game do you feel good? like you won cause cheats did it not really your skill, the only people profiting on cheats are the ones that code them and sell them to the ones that don't know better and waste money on something that doesn't really mean nothing and worst they destroy others fun, so yes people that uses exploits, cheats and all kinds of stuff to take advantage of something to be better then others that don't really have that advantage is lame and defeats the purpose of gaming, fun.
How can you have fun with cheats on a multiplayer game? weird and you wont say in the end "i won and my cheats are good cause i killed you all" of course you wont say that you will think that others will see you as a good player but they probably wont, you are only fooling yourself and in the process you are destroying others fun, if you do use cheats on a single player game like old gta for unlimited ammo or whatever then i don't really see a problem but when people goes online with cheats then i think terrible things about those people that i don't really want to say here.
I'm having fun with games since the Spectrum 48k era and never used exploits or cheats.
