I feel like the article came down way harder on cheaters then my own philosophy. "give me 5 minutes alone with a hacker"? Real life assault is much worse then video game cheating. The author then mentions justice systems aren't very involved, and I'm fine with the law not being involved with people hacking games. Cheating is relative. Some people think any custom mods, even on single player games, is cheating. I remember plenty of people thought speed mods on DDR were cheating. Today in league if you use timers for events some people called it cheating. Studios are responsible for creating an end to end expirience. It's up to them to lock down a game (like CS) or leave it open (skyrim), and it's their responsibility to enforce the game play vision they create. I don't cheat in games, but I understand why some people do. Yes it's annoying, but it shouldn't be a crime, and cheaters don't deserve universal hatred.
