I dont like competitive games anymore because Markov broke me long before that infamous video came out. People cheat. If the computer cheats at least its doing it to make the game better. People just cheat to be assholes.
Markov... dayz.... cod... just people cheating because they are not playing to have fun. They are ruining peoples games to have fun because they are broken.
No, people cheat to feel better about themselves,
If there's no tangible gain, like prize money or something, then I would agree with that. I can't really wrap my head around the mindset. I can't imagine playing without the satisfaction of besting or proper teamwork.
Cheaters have like 3 self justifications from what Ive seen (outside of money)
-
The enemy is "cheating" but they think they are better than them, therefore they should also cheat to even the playing field. Seen that a lot with the cs2 fiasco
-
They have fun by making others not have fun. Very common among the blatant cheaters/bot hosters. They purely live off on putting people down.
-
They want to reach a certain rank. Once they reach a plateau, they resort to cheating to continue towards their goal

If there’s no tangible gain, like prize money or something, then I would agree with that.
Ranking up is a big part of it, particularly in the modern "Gotta do my X Dailys to hit the Y milestone or the game will be unplayable" style of engagement.
Dayz... Holy shit brings back memories of spending hours and hours collecting new gear. Only for a random dude to randomly teleport shooting me in the face and disappearing. And people wonder why online pvp isn't fun for some of us.
