Oh hey, that's why so many of them are also white supremacists and mysogynists

I did that a couple of times, but it was more like "I don't want to grind all of this stuff, I want to skip to the fun part". Also, it's morally different because it impacts nobody else.

As someone who is ashamed to admit that I used to hack in StarCraft: Brood War when I was 12, this is the answer. It's fun.

Also I was absolute garbage at the game no matter how much I played, so I was trying to level the playing field a bit. Still got my ass handed to me over and over. Hacks can't replace skill.

Oh yes, I did it. But back at the time you had to wait months to finally have the cheatcode published on some magazine. And you just cheat on yourself, not other players.

BTW, nice times... 😀

A lot of shitty things done by shitty people seems to stem from people feeling shitty about themselves 🙁

Can't get a job, can't get laid, can't find a friend breeds resentment but instead of bettering themselves they want to make other people feel shitty too.

As a semi edge lord in my teen years I remember that feeling. And I remember how "good" it felt to watch FOX News because they were the one place that told me that everything shitty in the world was someone else's fault, not mine.

It takes self reflection and growing up to get out of that shitty mindset that a lot of people don't seem capable of doing 😕

But is it really a win?

Single-player games are a whole different thing. People should be able to play single-player in whatever way they prefer as it doesn't impact anybody but themselves. Some games even come with "story-mode" difficulties and such for people just looking to enjoy the story and not looking for a challenge and that's fine. Games used to come with cheat codes for the same purpose (well, for testing purposes initially but eventually for "play it whatever way you want").

I'm pretty sure he means the cheating,

That's been done before in Minecraft anarchy servers. The results are fascinating

I would love a sneaky anti cheating system, where if you are detected the game behind the scenes starts making everyone else's shot at you 100% headshots 😂 so there you are, trying to cheat, but you can't get a single shot off because stray bullets are just homing at your noggen!

Some already do. You have what's known as "cheater ques" or "cheater lobbies" where cheaters get shadowbanned to only play against other cheaters

Then you aren't one of the people I'm talking about. Personally, I take accusations of hacking or cheating as a compliment, because I know I'm clean and must have had a good game. Although sometimes dipshits will level accusations like that because I got them. Then I tell them to look at the game stats because I wouldn't be 17-23 if I were cheating. The people who actually do cheat though, double fuck them.
