The Blackangel Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 They should be busted hard. If you're playing a single player version of a game, then I have no problem with people using cheats. It doesn't usually help your experience as it's often taking away from the game in most cases. But if you're a tournament player, or in some online group, then cheaters deserve being banned. I only play one player games, because as everyone already knows, I hate online gaming. It's just not enjoyable for me, and I've given it numerous challenges on numerous games and numerous platforms. I also often use a Game Genie on some games to make them harder due to me being too good at them. So maybe my opinion doesn't count or matter here.

Shortie Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 This is something I have always had an issue with, not so much with single player games that are offline and you play on your own, if you want to cheat in a single player mode, go for it. It's not bothering me and will not affect others only you. When it comes to online multiplayer and playing with others, that is where I draw the line to be honest. If you are cheating you are ruining the game for others who are playing as well and that makes it less enjoyable for others. I am glad to see that some game developers take this very seriously but I do feel more need to take it more seriously.

I agree - Most just want the fame and the clout for being a top player without actually developing the skill to earn such praise. I've never cheated in online multiplayer games and don't ever intend to. Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am against it and even if I were able to, I would never want to risk it due to so many games now having the ability to be able to detect when a player cheats and the usual punishment for that is a permanent ban from the game. I believe there was a member from Faze at one point who cheated on Fortnite and he did it on stream as well. Epic Games were alerted and he was permanently banned and could no longer make a new account either. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Cheating while playing games not only ruins the gaming experience for others, but you are not improving your skillset if your letting AI do the work for you. I would suggest to approach games with integrity, embracing them for their intended experience. I have seen competitive players get terminated and even legal action taken against them for cheating live on stream too. Something to avoid big time.

This is very true and something I wish so many would realize. They end up hurting their own cause when they cheat and that only makes things worse for them in the long run. I also hate how it ruins the game for others as well when it comes to things such as the game being played properly and it being fair for all.

Ravenfreak Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm all for people wanting to play single player games with cheats if they wish to, however I do have an issue with cheaters when it comes to pvp games. Cheaters get an unfair advantage over other players who don't cheat. I heard recently that there were a lot of players at the recent Pokemon Tournament that were banned from the tournament since a lot of them tried to use hacked Pokemon.

Scorpion Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I agree, cheats in single-player games are fine since they don't affect anyone else. But online, cheaters deserve bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then he had the nerve to cry on camera about making an "honest" mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I don’t understand the use of cheats, especially when you play multiplayer and tournaments. I find people that do so annoying, it is fine if it used in single player mode. But multiplayer is a capital No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I don't like cheating, and I think competitive games should have stiffer rules to combat this. It's so common, and people do it with remorse. It's ok if it's in single-player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
