If there is a majority of cheaters (for PC games) anywhere, it's possibly China. However, this is only due to the fact there is a significant number of PC games players in China and the popualtion density overall shows more people in China than in any other region.

This is then affected of course by the availability and proliferation of the cheats, the development and dsitribution of cheats, and the websites distributing the cheats. Cheating is a social endeavour of human competitive drive and is not specifically related to region, though certainly some cultures implement stricter measuress to discourage or punitive action.

Some nations has strict controls on the content available via the internet. Whereas some scandinavians still vie for the freedom to share digital copyrighted materials and the legality of sites and hosts for such content which may also be a home for cheats.
The issues become much mroe complex, when further to the initial progenoitors of cheats and their selected methods of distribution, but these products become available in the wild and there is a greater tendency now for such to become globally distributed. However, due to the detection updates to anti-cheat systems, the cheats themselves may be considered to have a 'lifespan', so do not threive 'in the wild', and this is a severe limiting factor on the extent of their globalisation.
Mostly, based on the tiny sample of limited information available, people tend to use cheats displayed and operating in their own language, or from sources which are described in a readable language. The seedy world of those developeing cheats that are willing to discuss and share information is limited, most tend to maintain their 'trade secrets', since cheat development is highly lucrative, and the more prolfiic use of certain techniques becomes, the more volatile the opportiunities for detection. As such, communities around such concepts tend to focus on linguistic rather than geographical bounds.

Why is the thread where the guy who pirated CS:S and got banned for it still going? Is no one reading any of the rest of the thread?

Why isn't this locked?
