Why does everyone hate cheaters so much?

[GodHand001]

Yes, cheaters are harmful, but you won't lose anything with them, you will lose an online game, but no other loss will be worth it.

I ask, scammers who scam people, steal other people's value, is this completely accepted here on steam?
If you steal in real life, you go to jail! If you steal steam online, it's perfectly fine, it's allowed, right?

Steam is full of thieves, what do you think is the bigger crime of cheating in a game or stealing from someone else?

It is quite the opposite tbh.

So the pros that do get caught cheating and permanently shamed and banned are winning? The legit pros winning tournament prize money and sponsorships are losing?

Who is the one losing everything and gaining nothing?

Ask kqly, forsaken, you know...all those people who activated cheats in a pro match and were banned and all to completely forfeit any possibility for winning money.

Even they cheated they're still winners, they have money to live off their lives XD, what makes you think cheating = a loser, actually it is quite the opposite just look IRL cheaters gets the fame and glory while being good and honest gets taken advantage, that is why being neutral is the best thing, ofc. they're humans, we humans are selfish in nature lol. as if you're saying you never cheated lol in your whole life.

Potentially the most smoothbrained post of 2024

cheaters are the best thing. they make the game unplayable, for people with options we go do other things like skate and buy airsoft guns and paintball guns. pretty hard to cheat in paintball. we literally play a similar game play style. so yeah I see video games taking a down turn like they did in the mid eighties. they are just not fun and often times not playable.

Maybe because half of them are script kiddies that think "cheating" in a game is just downloading malware that leaves you exposed to professionals like myself? Doesn't just ruin the game, the encryption valve used is exposed due to stupid people. Yet alone is 15 years old.

So you won't mind me finding your location and pasting it in a hvh server if cheating ain't bad like the wannabe doxxer that tried me and his friend paid the price? You should know cheating is against the law as well. By modifying a "game" your admitting to computer fraud. which is up to 5-10 years imprisonment.

Go cheat, all you do is leave your data out in the open when you think you don't.

Sure ruins the game and as an ex player, i find it funny why cheaters cheat, due to lack of knowledge of building their own game or cheats. paying $30 per month for a cheat that is a malware yet logs all your keystrokes? Seems like an infostealer!

But as destiny mentioned, ruins the fun. Just pure Nihilism at the finest.

What keyloggers you're talking about lol? obviously if you downloaded those things on unreliable sources or random youtube videos linking to mediafire downloads ofc. you will get some malwares but if you downloaded it on trusted sources nothing happens.

Do you even know how does a cheat even operate? You obviously have 0 Network Security knowledge yet alone Cryptography.

So explain to us, when you want to "inject" a cheat aren't you basically doing the cyber criminal's work for them? "Turn off Firewall and Defender they prevent the cheat from functioning". Do you even know what is behavior based rules? Or Dynamic Statistical Analysis? Every time you download regardless from the source a Dynamic Link Library or as you script kiddies call it "inject the DLL".

The software that you operate to "inject" places the DLL onto C:\ yet alone Temp folder then the CS2 or whatever you kids call it.

After performing that it is then a running process aren't i wrong? So you downloaded a trojan and have no clue what an infostealer is at all just using terminologies that kids use "keyloggers, RAT, VNC". Go start up ION Cannon. I already can see you were in a data breach few years ago.


Yes mediafire and file sharing platforms are a source of spreading malware but it's often blocked by IPS/anti-virus solutions as well as the built in security of the browsers, which offers real time cloud-based protection. Your weakness as a cheater is trusting the source as it's reliable "HTTPS". The S is quite easy to make, either create a Digital Signature and operate with TLSv2/3 or with your own private key and the easiest way is to buy one from the vendors such as Norton, Microsoft, AWS, Cisco and the list goes on.

Now kid, you really think you are secure downloading a virus that is already itself a cheat?

You do realise it is far too easy to create the exact replica of a cheat site and ensure the "reliability" of it. How else do you think Aimware was hacked in 2019?

Don't question and mock my knowledge that is far greater than yours. I would start changing the way of creating passwords if i were you.

Yes.

In ANY modern multiplayer game, there will ALWAYS be someone trying to take an advantage.

If that truly bothers you, the best solution is to not play at all. Either that or accept that cheating is a given these days, in any multiplayer connected game, and greatly lower your expectations going into any game.

[Soulflyorgun]

in China you also go to jail for cheating so it's the same thing like stealing, there is a law for cheating
