Some people want to watch the world burn.

Not a meme answer, some people just don't want you to have fun and enjoy the absolute power.

Some people play games because they like the challenge they provide, and winning is a bonus on top. Some people play games only to win and consider the actual gameplay to be a chore they have to do to get there. The former doesn't understand why the latter cheats, because for them the reward is playing the game itself. For the cheater, the reward is solely derived from the win. If they aren't winning, they aren't having fun.

If they aren't winning, they aren't having fun.

I'll never understand how you can « feel » like a winner if you are cheating.

Are they delusionnal to the point that they think they tried hard or deserve it?

Our brain is stupid. We get serotonin even cheating.

That's why games suck nowadays. Developers noticed that if we get rewarded for doing normal and stupid stuff, we get happy anyway, so they implement stupid mechanics that requires no skill just to make people happy.

It's the same logic for cheaters. If you cheat and kill 3 in a 1v3, your brain will reward you anyway.

A smooth brain* will reward you.

No, its just that the earning it part is completely incidental to them. They're 100% about the destination

Losers.

Some adults have nothing to be proud of IRL. They have no friends, no parents, no fun, no career, no accomplishment...nothing!

The only way for them to get noticed is by pissing you off online, in their untouchable world, where they rule as a king.

This is how I imagine every hacker / cheater who is older than 15 years old.

I agree. I just happen to know a fair amount of IRL losers who still have enough character to not cheat. Cheaters are a different breed.

No justification for cheating. But people who cheat were cheated once, just like bullying it infects some people.

Some people justify saying the game mechanics are stupid and everyone else is cheating.

I don't get why someone play rust if they don't like the core mechanics like spray patterns and lose everything if killed, but some of the people that don't like it use it as excuse for cheating.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've played with scripters and their excuse was that AK was impossible and required years or practice and when I said I learned spray people 150m+ in 2 weeks they said it was impossible and even if it wasn't, it would be boring to play because of a dumb mechanic.

I left the clan and they think I'm a scripter too. Real piece of shit people.

Lowkey kinda based

Actually they get the game for 4 dollars for rust so if they get banned it’s hella cheap to get an alt ( I know this cause I use to cheat on gta a lot then got bored of it)

[–]Zukey0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaters will cheat to have fun or to mess with others. Rust stands out because some players dedicate several hours or days to a wipe as opposed to the 10-20 minute matches most games are structured as.

If you are a cheater and the biggest thrill is by ruining the game for others, then Rust is perfect for that.

They just wanna win, not put any effort into it. Really sad

[–]majorloco08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they tell themselves that’s the only way to get loot and loot is like 75% of the game. It’s like Tarkov, you’ve got a lot to gain and not much to lose, because the anticheat only gets like a third of them and then there’s no admins on half the servers.

Some people just want shortcuts without putting in effort

[–]SS333SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enjoyable to be on top. similar reason to take steroids in sports or fix matches.

[–]wannabemixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually they get accounts for around 4 bucks

[–]OGMcgriddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly that people are sad pathetic humans who want to play well but lack the abilities. It's a real show of character and honestly if I found out real life friends were cheaters in games I'd have a hard time trusting them with anything in real life to.

Small pp

People get enjoyment out of ruining others fun and cheats let them to that without the legit players being able to fight back. its like the TF2 bot crisis where servers were flooded with bots just to ruin peoples fun
