Achievers and most griefers are deeply insecure with complexes n stuff. They're like those people who pretend to be rich. They not lying to themselves, they lie to everyone else. The satisfaction comes from being recognized by others as a good player, or even a "good hacker" but all in all as a successful person.
@@darthhatespeech5329 Thats the part i don't understand. How can they get satisfaction from being viewed as successful when they know they actually aren't? For me personally the only way i could feel satisfaction from being viewed as successful is if i also convinced myself that i was actually successful, and not just cheating.
@@johngrisham3784I would say they are like this in other parts of their lives. Some of them could be defined as narcissists and they feel a need to be either great at everything, or really good at at least one thing. They may always have to be the “cool guy” in a group, or they may suck at so much in real life, they want to be respected in a virtual reality. Hell, I knew a kid growing up who bought a modded controller for cod, because he wanted to be even better. He was already really good at MW2, had lots of friends in real life, and was often praised even for being mean, yet he wanted to be even better so he got a modded controller. (I think he’s a narcissist, maybe he’s not). Overall, all I can think is that these cheaters feel a need to be better than they really are. The self satisfaction comes from everyone thinking you’re really good when in reality you are not
@@johngrisham3784 That's where you and them differ. When it comes to inferiority complexes there are two general archetypes I like to call external and internal inferiority. You probably know the former as a superiority complex (I personally don't like the name because I feel it misrepresents what it actually is). People with internal inferiority complexes usually have some deep rooted belief that they are inferior to everyone around them, even if someone gives them praise they feel undeserving and like that person is either mistaken or flat out lying to make them feel better. Even if they blatantly show skill or knowledge in the subject, the person themselves may not necessarily feel they do. The cause of insecurity comes internally. For external inferiority complexes/superiority complexes they usually think that everyone else finds them inferior and they just need to show/prove that they are of equal or better skill, even when that assumption is blatantly incorrect. Personal gratification means nothing to them, the only thing that matters is that they get recognized and praised as that is the only way they can feel secure. To them losing is unacceptable as it will make others view them as inferior, and so its possible these people will try to find shortcuts or methods to ensure they don't lose at all.
I cheat in single-player games that have micro-transactions so I can access all of it's content without paying more money for things that were initially meant to be part of the core game. Edit: Also games that could have been good but were made grindy for selling boosters.
Absolutly zero excuse for cheating in any game unless the devs have added the cheats themselves. People who feel the need to cheat need serious mental help a skill building course aimed at self improvement would be a fix. Or just throw out life time bans to everyone that's caught. Water mark the games and if cheating is found add that water mark to a blacklist stopping anyone from ever playing that copy.
@@gamingscotsmanOG You have serious mental issues if you don't think cheating in a single player game is not okay. If it doesn't affect online players, who cares? The time of the purists died a long time ago.
Everything in gta online is way too expensive imo and earning money can be quite difficult at times. I have a friend who uses cheats in that game simply to give himself money. He doesn't use anything else in the cheat menu, just the money part. Would you still consider him a bad person?
I am a cheater, but only in gta offline. I think that me and my brothers are what I would call the goodtimers, just having fun with things like mods and developer made cheats to spice up the game and enjoy it more than the vanilla gameplay, without making anybody online upset.
i never cared to cheat in multiplayer. I've fought plenty of cheaters over the years and to be honest, quitting is the best option is you know they are cheating. leave, do something else. walk away. take their joy away.
@@dylandean7364 I seriously believe that most of the people who cheat and act weird on multiplayer games get joy from frustrating and annoying other people, especially when they're safe online... What a sad, miserable existence.
@@thaistompthe thing that sucks is if you ban their account, they can just create another account. I feel like companies should block their IP Address if that’s even possible or block their real name/credit card information so they can’t buy another account. Hell, I’d say go as far as dox them, but that could end up with legal troubles given how seriously some people take video games
I love when you legitimately beat someone in a game and you get a message from them saying you cheated and they're going to report you. They're just butt hurt. 🤣🤣
Maybe because thats how it looks to them, my brother does it a lot lol. Thinks hes shooting the person and i see him shooting right past them and theres input lag and fps etc linus tech did a video on it with the top fps streamers.
My favorite thing about playing console overwatch. I always was accused of hacking. Now I'm on pc and run into real hackers. And i wonder how anyone could think i was hacking after having experienced a real one.
I'd like to know how people get satisfaction from cheating in a competitive game long term. I play competitive games because I like spending my time getting good at something and having some sort of skill to show for all the time I spend doing it. It's also satisfying to earn the respect of other people who are playing the game fairly. I imagine they're either narcissist's or sociopaths. Or they are incredibly depressed people who cant seem to be good at anything so they've resorted to cheating in video games to simulate achievement and make other people's experience worse intentionally.
I know these types, I've met them and talk to them. Many can't believe that some players are very skilled. So when they get crapped on over and over, they convince themselves everyone else is hacking, so they must hack as well. However, to any somewhat decent player, it's painfully obvious when someone is hacking as opposed to when someone is actually good at aiming.
Same here.. people who cheat in online are all twats My thoughts has been like this Single player Game in the 90's how to cheat? Perform these actions and you can't die Single player Game in 2000's how to cheat? Perform these actions and you will get a lot of money and can't die Game in 2010 and after, bruh you want to cheat? Fine pay us 10 dollars and you will level up 1.5× faster. O the in game economy is so bad that getting simple stuff either costs 50 hours in game time to unlock this in game weapon? Pay us 20 dollars and you will get it Fecking ea
yep it often helps get all the crap you missed first run through and can increase the time value of said game. I also suck at pvp games so I just don't play them.
Imagine playing a sims or Bethesda (single player) game without ever having a reason to touch the console. I mean. The sims 4 console guide even states they encourage it. But I mostly use it in those two. As it makes QoL go way up. Especially in the sims.
im very supportive of single player modding and cheats.., cause its there to make the game more fun..,(but please to people who claim their good cause they cheat or mod.., dont.., some go as far as to say save scumming is also cheating but i think thats gray).., but yeah.., SP games.., or mode.., all the power to you.., its techincally the world as you wish to explore it..,
Nowadays publishers slap cheats on upgraded editions of games disguised as “bonuses”, making those who pay up receiving an advantage compared to the majority who get the standard edition. One of the most notorious examples was EA Star Wars Battlefront, where the best weapon in the game by an absolute mile - the Han Solo Blaster - was only available in the Deluxe Edition and above, so the majority with the standard edition were getting pwned by the players who paid up for the upgraded edition with the best weapon.
When there’s a cheater I do one of two things. Leave the game or just consistently annoy them in some way. One thing I’ll never do is rage against them because that’s usually what they want.
The Divine Centurion not necessarily. Most of the time they want to taunt and get you frustrated. Me leaving ruins their fun of it and I get to go about my days. Depends on the game what I do.
I argued with a guy who makes cheats for escape from tarkov, here is his take on why it’s not wrong. “It’s funny you mentioned steroids. Off topic but every sport that is competitive, you do understand most of the athletes use PED right? 95 percent of athletes that are world class use PED and the organizers for the events know but drug test them with easy tests to pass. Do you think most of the heavy weight and middle weights in ufc are natural, same for boxing. Do you honestly think people like Mike Tyson and Holyfield were natural lmao.”
Call me old but I remember when ‘cheats’ were just fun things that games let you unlock. Paintballs instead if bullets, enemies with oversized heads, this is why cheating is a problem now because there aren’t many games that still let you unlock these cheat modes.
I think those were the days where games were pretty much single player so the only person's gameplay experience a cheater can affect is their own but that's not the same case these days where a good number of games are multiplayer or have multiplayer aspects.
look at Valorant by exemple they have whats called ''ADMIN POWER'' in private matches and let you access wall hacks and more for spectator the problem is the software use this code to run the cheat undetected and tune it to its finest so yes and no it help to contain the ppl in solo but its also a backdoor for online cheaters
It made everything easy. It brought everything at once so you weren't able to enjoy it over the long run and weren't able to enjoy your accomplishments.
Certain genres do not however... War Thunder has so much munchkin min-max going on on such levels it's either you do their way or play at another tier/rank bracket where there's less of that, many times the former is at tiers/ranks said player isn't comfortable playing at. That game has been having SEVERAL Vigilante acts every now and then (when bombers were Broken and absolutely OP, a clan simply was made to police the matches, with them killing ANY bomber on sight, friend or foe; then there's a heavy tank that outclassed everything else there, Light tank top speed with armor immune to 90% of the shells at it's own rank and a gun broken as fuck, TKs rose for quite some time...).
Fantastic and appreciated video, despite the cringe count being pretty high for the multiple slight mispronunciations of the word “vigilante” 😊 Thank you!
"Why do people CHEAT in video games?" The same reason they cheat on their "loved ones" To satisfy themselves in a selfish manner There should be a distinction between cheating for fun in a single-player game vs cheating in a competitive multiplayer match against people. Cheating in single player games is okay. Cheating in multiplayer matches is just scummy.
Not necessarily. Sometimes it's out of Borden and it can be oddly therapeutic. I can't explain why but I've never been selfish and in my moment of realisation and reflection I felt guilty and stopped.
it’s fun to do when you’re playing with your friends in a private match like per say a game like csgo because the game does get boring and it’s really cool to have the options to access commands and such
I was VAC banned in 2005 or 06, when i was still in high school, I was curious about them more than anything. And i noticed that barely any of the cheaters i ran into ever got banned. It lasted about 15 minutes. and somehow i got reported and banned fast.
That's cuz their cheats are shit. Probably copy pasters. Let me tell you one thing reports don't work, and they never will unless younare sending clips to devs
Idk about you but most cheaters I've reported. Maybe around 90. Only 10 or 5 that are not banned. Not all of them are banned instantly but they still got banned.
I remember back when I was really into Modern Warfare 3, was into a clan and stuff... we used Kick tool to kick/ban hackers or cheaters who ruined the fun in some games. And its weird, cos kick tool was in some way one could say "cheating", but let me tell you being in a game and playing against a hacker while YOU are the host (with kicktool on) and telling them: "Listen buddy, you got 10 seconds to turn off your hacks or your ass is out". Naturally they NEVER listen but atleast poeple know there are "good cheaters" who are there to get rid of the rodants while they are playing the game as well.
mm, yeah I like games that have a 'group kick' option, so then that way if there's a hacker and everyone hates him/her, they just votekick them out and we continue on our way
Im fine with cheaters who only do it to victimized other cheaters i got teamed with a guy who said look man im using a hack but the only thing it does is show locations of other cheaters and ddoss there server's and hick them from the game i was spectating him after i died from a hacker and he shot the guy one time and the cheaters game crashed and it was like he left the lobby
I’ve played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion multiple times over years since I was a kid. Only now going back and playing with exploits to farm minor skills and money. Have over a Million Septims and I’m only LvL 1 and on Xbox with all patches.
Nezz Gaming 3K is very different from most Total War games with how much diplomacy is a factor in the game, so for that reason I do think deserves an honorable mention. But Total War Warhammer 2’s combat is so sick I have to say it’s my favorite.
Tim I know. It's some people who don't care and don't have anything to lose. But I don't like cheaters/hackers on games like call of duty because it's not fair. But yeah you got a point. Well for some games
@@0xsergy Wym? I just said he didn't say that pronounction incorrect, it just reminds him of something. I never said there was a different way of pronouncing vigilante nor said the one the CZcamsr said was wrong either.
@@0xsergy I mean there is another way you can say it. He said it as Vigil-LON-te while some people say it as Vigil-LAN-te. Both are correct ways to say it. I personally say it as Vigil-LAN-te because the first time I heard the word was in some old superhero cartoons and that's how they said it.
Why play a multiplayer game where people can just troll you and piss you off to no end? Single player games are kinda better because of that. Yes you can't do as much but still
Zelith Fang I agree I kinda tend to play more single players games now -__- but I love the challenge of another human intelligence in multiplayer games, just not so many ppl seems to do it fairly -_-
Thats kinda weird but ok? You cant really compare a multiplayer and a singleplayer game because they are 2 very different things. Also, thats one of the biggest lies ive heard unless you really did. Theres something called leaving and joining another multiplayer match. But one last thing i wanna point out, just because you find 1 guy cheating in a game doesnt mean you should leave because everyone cheats in every game. There are cheaters EVERYWHERE no matter what game it is. At the same time, there might not be always cheaters in every match you might join in multiplayer games and they are pretty rare to encounter unless if you are playing a game with a lot of cheating problems but still. Nothing is stopping the cheating community so just get used to it and deal with it. Im just stating btw but i honestly dont care, im just putting my opinion out there. Just do whatever 🤷🏼♂️, i have nothing against it. :v
I believe cheating or hacking has become an accepted culture in the world lately, steroid use is at an all time high, seems like most multiplayer PC games have people using automation programs or some sort of assistance program. I remember back in 2011 I was playing quantum of solace on the xbox 360, my friend and I were playing to get the highest stats... we actually got it, took a picture for proof, suddenly about 3 weeks later the leader boards were deleted, someone had hacked into the server, wiped the stats the top players and put their own stats up as some large number well beyond what anyone else had.
Whenever I cheated it was either for this small development team from a few years back that had me so it so they could patch them before them went rampant or for fun, I don’t really see the “cheating for wins” bc to me it’s just a waste of your time at that point, and whenever I did something for fun it was usually in games where I wasn’t really disturbing anyone by doing it (gta, FS, etc.) games where your cheating was more for making the game interesting and fun than for gaining or winning from it.
Me: You did not talk about the Infinite Account issue. Like how cheating has no real consequence at all because you can just make another account. Literally Everyone: Shhhhhhhhhh
This comment is kinda funny. I get what you were going for but it depends on how the person pronounced the word aunt. Because many people pronounce it “ant” which makes vigilante correctly pronounced
The real influx of cheaters in cs go came with the introduction of those fancy ranks. Lots of people cheat for social pressure, to look good / not bad.
Kinda surprised you talked about Valve yet there wasn't even background footage of TF2, considering its rampant cheater problem. When I was very litle, I used to play the campaign of StarCraft with cheats on. It was such a huge handicap. Even to this day I have a hard time sticking with things I'm bad at because I'm afraid of failing. Though funnily enough, that's how I learned to type so it has some advantages. I will never forget how to spell "overwhelming" and "medieval" either.
DayZ last year is a weird one. You HAD to dupe glitch to get high tier weapons bc it was no way to get in game in official servers on ps4... bc other people duped the high tiers out of the game's spawn limit. Since everyone duped it was weirdly part of the game. Glitch not hack, but you get the idea.
The only time I used cheats was when you could get that peds with weapons and peds fight each other on vice city that was soo fun I remember doing that for hours when I was a kid
In the last 24 hours, I started watching gamers who got caught cheating including optic India forsaken cs go gamer video, and other cs go pro cheaters and airsoft cheaters just for fun and gameranx made a video about cheating on the same day. Great content.
The first one scares me, mainly because I'm the type of player that would end up being called a "casual cheater" if I were to start cheating, and I'm honestly afraid of falling into that hole. My mental health really isn't that great and I end up finding myself going to games for validation, but the issue is that I'm just... bad. Like, *really* bad, at almost every game, and it makes me feel like shit.
Okay so there probably aren't many people who do what I do but, I used to cheat all the time in video games, I was the kid that was bad mouthing people in the lobby, cussing people out, aim botting, scripting, wallhacking, you name it...but after a while, I started to see more cheaters, I heard all the people that would complain about it so I decided to do something, whenever NOW I run into a cheater. I will play with the dirtiest, slimiest, more exploitive cheats I can find, I will be the biggest fucking pain in their ass if I see them. Now I know it's just an online medium but, it feels good to piss off another cheater, granted I am one too, I'm no better than them, but still, it feels great to know that they're not gonna just get away with it while I'm in the game. What do you all think? Am I a good guy now? Am I still an asshole? Did I leave the oven on before I left today? Let me know.
What you do by cheating the way you do is making other cheaters realize that they aren't as powerful or in control as they think they are, and I really understand that feeling. Keep going down this path if you see it suits you.
@@JDJD-mw9rr item randomization for dark Souls is a mod, and can actually make the game harder. It's actually a pretty fun mod. I'm a pro at dark Souls, and I even do it for fun. Not cheating at all
There's a thing known as regional dialect. Where pronunciation, syntax, grammar are quite different. Take an English speaking person from northern England, southern Texas, and and someone from Wisconsin. Although they can all speak English, each should invariably sound different from one another. My own example is that I lived in rural Pennsylvania for the first 14 years of my life than move to Ann Arbor Michigan. Where people spoke much faster and used a lot of slang. It got to the point where I had to tell people to slow down because I couldn't understand them. Until I learned and acclimated to their speech. It was embarrassing the first time someone called me dawg I took it as being offensive.
@@dancottrell5889 Being a natural Pennsylvanian myself, (born in Lancaster raised in York), I've also heard, if thanks to media that Lang-kiss-ter vs. Lan-caster pronunciation bit on and off. Me? It's the first.
The thing that makes me think about cheating the most in games is just getting cheated against. Nothing sucks more than being prefired as you come round a corner, you didn't have a chance. The thing that stops me from cheating in retaliation is knowing the moment I do I'll lose all interest in the game, because the challenge is now gone. I think achieving cheaters have real issues.
You overlooked the people that cheat for profit. They earn in game currency and sell to players for real world cash. Players buying from these traders could also be considered cheaters. Their motive is low in time but high in cash. They want to be on a level playing field without putting in the time.
I've never cheated in a multiplayer game, but single player I have cheated often. My most common reason/justification for it is quality of life or time. I find myself going to trainers or cheat engine every time a game puts in an artificial wall and then tells me to grind for the next 4 hours to get past it. Assassin Creed Odyssey is a perfect example of it. The story missions didn't keep you leveled up enough to do just them and I wasn't interested in a lot of the side missions. Then there was the upgrading system for your gear and ship. I wasn't interested in running around picking up the next piece of candy. Unfortunately, I just straight up don't have the time anymore to get past these artificial lengtheners and cheat to keep the game going. I do also unfortunately fall into the casual category. I have been finding it harder and harder to keep up with my favorite genres. Typically once I get too frustrated with a game the trainer comes out so I can move past the part that's frustrating me. My job keeps me plenty frustrated and I play games to blow off steam so I don't blow up on people (Verbally that is).
I have osteoarthritis in my hands it it physically aches to do repetitive tasks, but I have been gaming for 30 some odd years. I get sick of holier than thou people who complain about running macros in an MMO to avoid the very physically painful grind.
Very few games consider accessibility. That's (very) slowly improving, but the fact remains that a lot of games are still quite difficult to play with most impairments, and some are completely unplayable (some can't help it, but many _could_ be reworked to be playable). GMTK has done a few videos on accessibility in games. I wonder when WCAG will get extended to all software. 🤔
@@user-vn7ce5ig1z I had a bunch of friends who worked for Blizzard and 3 were my roommates for awhile. I said that I could no longer play without writing macros to do some tasks and they treated me like I was a serial killer. It's funny and sad that gamers treat such things so seriously and don't care at all for the reasons.
Bryan Wright recently bought assasins creed odyssey and I completely agree, how did you cheat to level up? Im tired of grinding for hours just for a level
If I'm doodoo at a multiplayer game, and I know I'm just gonna keep being doodoo, I won't play. But if I'm doodoo at a singleplayer game, imma cheat it fuck you I do what I want
I’ve hacked on gta because I didn’t want to grind, and sometimes I would meme around with people, and off the person didn’t want to be annoyed, I would not annoy them ;)
Kookee Penguins alright, sounds good. Usually if it’s an online multiplayer game I like to advocate against cheating, but if you were just messing around and not using cheats against other players then more power to you.
I'd consider myself a "Robin Hood." I mod my save, and then share the wealth with anyone who wants it. For example in Dark Souls I would give folks a bunch of Souls.
@Samuel Skinner That is why I glitched when I played. $2750 real dollars worth of glitch money ($220,000,000). 2013/2014 I barely glitched because it was easy to make money, and more importantly, things were cheap, Most expensive item was Adder (1 mil) and now a fucking civic is over a million.
115 Stig I remember doing that. I think it had to do with the car shops and repeatedly selling pimped out cars. It was so hard to actually buy anything by doing actual work in a reasonable time.
@Samuel Skinner gta online isn't really a pvp game like others so cheating in that is whatever, also fuck those shark cards lol. if you die in gta online it's no real loss.
Very big problem of cheating in Supreme Commander 2. My friends and I had a “no glitches” rule most matches. Glitches and exploits can be very fun when everyone knows them though because it makes the game ridiculous.
The “this game is old and boring so I’m going to give everyone on the server 10x speed, unlimited ammo, wall hacks, and then at the end of the round drag everyone’s character to a centralized location and send them flying straight up for eternity” hackers are the absolute best. I don’t remember if it was Black Ops 1 or 2 for PS3 that had a bunch of hackers that share but my gosh was it a joy running into them.
Yea that was fun for about a single game. I just wanted to play an old game that I haven't played in ages though and I couldn't find any lobby that didn't have infinite ammo grenade launchers for everyone. Got pretty boring pretty quick. Of course that was before one of the got me banned for life.
I'll typically only cheat in games if there's an item I can't get through legitimate play (like the Alien Blaster in Fallout: New Vegas due to not having the Wild Wasteland perk) or if in something like Dark Souls where I've been farming for something for hours on end and even with item discovery boosting items active, I still can't get the item to drop, I'll just swap out an unwanted item with the desired item with Cheat Engine.
I don't do it for multiplayer. The reason I do in single player is because I don't have enough time like I did before to grind. And I just want to experience the game. I try to beat the game once before using any cheats, too.
There's a few types of cheaters that don't go mentioned here. The Recreationists that do it for fun, y'know, Big Head Mode, dancing NPCs, wacky gravity effects and whatnot. Stuff that makes a game bizarre and hilarious. The Challengers that do it because they don't feel challenged and actively take things away from themselves via cheats to make the game harder and thus more rewarding to beat. I'm a bit of both of these at times. But then, I don't aim to hurt anybody... except myself.
@@plopperator You get used to it, I honestly prefer playing singleplayer games on a controler (exept FPS for obvious reasons), I got one recently and it's much more confortable to just lean back while doing the easier levels
I think a form of cheating is when people buy expensive accessories (e.g. $300 controllers) that 'enhances' their gameplay. It sets a huge disadvantage for those who aren't using the same crap. Nobody wants to play at a disadvantage, and I am surprised that matchmaking these days doesn't divide stuff like that.
There are actually some cheaters out there that are great people that want to see others have fun, but they are very outnumbered when it comes to most of these categories of cheaters, but its always good to know that theres always good people out there that enjoy others having fun
DS3, forgot to get my save file before hard formart my OS and lost everythying now im cheat to recreate the same char as before I know casual, but I play ofline
There's one that crops up when a game's economy is so effets, that they feel they have no recourse BUT to cheat. But... They also know everyone else is dealing with the same stuff. Enter a different cheater: the Philanthropist. Spawning money, giving players items illegitimately, these guys facilitate a good time outside the intended means of the game's design. They might break the economy and create difficult-to-trace spikes of wealth among players, but they're doing it not necessarily to get back at the devs, though it might be that a bit too, but to help others continue to enjoy a game which might otherwise have become a tedious grind. I'm thinking about a very particular game that while I didn't name-drop it, you probably had an idea of what it was. And the philanthropic cheaters, robin hood-esque heroes, are a godsend for some online games, and I love them.
I remember using GameShark on my N64 where you plug the GS cartridge in and then the real game on top of that cartridge. Old school lol. I think they made it on PlayStation as well where you enter a disc, pick your cheats, and then open the disc tray while it’s running and put the real game in.
I only ever saw one once and I was like 8 and an older kid showed me how to get a lvl 100 teddiursa. Never actually used one so idk what they could all do. What were they exactly?
I love it when I beat someone and they tell me I cheated. Especially if they're a cheater themselves. If being able to hear where an enemy is from behind a wall because I was paying attention is a cheat, call me guilty. It's not my fault they're super loud and years of stealth games has trained my directional hearing.
People that use hacks often have mental conditions related to self esteem issues, either their parents didn't gratify them enough or they were held too much as a child but they don't have a moral compass and their brain rewards them for "winning" in a game
a close online friend i play r6 with for the last 4 years, started cheating for money reasons. he is high dia, but for a certain boosting platform you have get champion. well as i found out, he may gained a lot of money, but in the end he lost a lot of his friends :/
Cheaters in Singleplayer games are fine,
Cheaters in Multiplayer games should get punched in their faces.
Very true
Their game they play it how they want
When you're fighting others it's our game and you shouldn't ruin it for the rest just because you're bad
Not all should be, many just use it to make their experience more fun, without touching other players

For external inferiority complexes/superiority complexes they usually think that everyone else finds them inferior and they just need to show/prove that they are of equal or better skill, even when that assumption is blatantly incorrect. Personal gratification means nothing to them, the only thing that matters is that they get recognized and praised as that is the only way they can feel secure. To them losing is unacceptable as it will make others view them as inferior, and so its possible these people will try to find shortcuts or methods to ensure they don't lose at all.
All companies should write a common law about how to deal with this kind of scumbags with severe consequences in online gaming.
I cheat in single-player games that have micro-transactions so I can access all of it's content without paying more money for things that were initially meant to be part of the core game.
Edit:
Also games that could have been good but were made grindy for selling boosters.

@@ChronologicalFern I was talking about single player games with micro transaction
I believe cheating is okay so long as it doesn't affect other player's experiences, single player as an example.
I can agree with that
Absolutly zero excuse for cheating in any game unless the devs have added the cheats themselves. People who feel the need to cheat need serious mental help a skill building course aimed at self improvement would be a fix. Or just throw out life time bans to everyone that's caught. Water mark the games and if cheating is found add that water mark to a blacklist stopping anyone from ever playing that copy.

I'd like to know how people get satisfaction from cheating in a competitive game long term. I play competitive games because I like spending my time getting good at something and having some sort of skill to show for all the time I spend doing it. It's also satisfying to earn the respect of other people who are playing the game fairly.
I imagine they're either narcissist's or sociopaths. Or they are incredibly depressed people who cant seem to be good at anything so they've resorted to cheating in video games to simulate achievement and make other people's experience worse intentionally.
I know these types, I've met them and talk to them. Many can't believe that some players are very skilled. So when they get crapped on over and over, they convince themselves everyone else is hacking, so they must hack as well. However, to any somewhat decent player, it's painfully obvious when someone is hacking as opposed to when someone is actually good at aiming.

Single player Game in 2000's how to cheat? Perform these actions and you will get a lot of money and can't die
Game in 2010 and after, bruh you want to cheat? Fine pay us 10 dollars and you will level up 1.5× faster. O the in game economy is so bad that getting simple stuff either costs 50 hours in game time to unlock this in game weapon? Pay us 20 dollars and you will get it
Fecking ea
yep it often helps get all the crap you missed first run through and can increase the time value of said game. I also suck at pvp games so I just don't play them.
Imagine playing a sims or Bethesda (single player) game without ever having a reason to touch the console.
I mean. The sims 4 console guide even states they encourage it.
But I mostly use it in those two. As it makes QoL go way up. Especially in the sims.
im very supportive of single player modding and cheats.., cause its there to make the game more fun..,(but please to people who claim their good cause they cheat or mod.., dont.., some go as far as to say save scumming is also cheating but i think thats gray)..,

Nowadays publishers slap cheats on upgraded editions of games disguised as “bonuses”, making those who pay up receiving an advantage compared to the majority who get the standard edition.
One of the most notorious examples was EA Star Wars Battlefront, where the best weapon in the game by an absolute mile - the Han Solo Blaster - was only available in the Deluxe Edition and above, so the majority with the standard edition were getting pwned by the players who paid up for the upgraded edition with the best weapon.
Darth Raider didn’t people complain you could unlock it the same day and it was a terrrible deluxe edition items

Good thing that Battlefront 2 is now one of the best video game redemptions of all time.

Call me old but I remember when ‘cheats’ were just fun things that games let you unlock.
Paintballs instead if bullets, enemies with oversized heads, this is why cheating is a problem now because there aren’t many games that still let you unlock these cheat modes.
Menthols ok low ranked weeb
I think those were the days where games were pretty much single player so the only person's gameplay experience a cheater can affect is their own but that's not the same case these days where a good number of games are multiplayer or have multiplayer aspects.
No... People cheat coz they suck... Paintball bullets wont helo these people win they will still download 3rd party software...
@Menthols ok zoomer... You know these games were millennials era?
look at Valorant by exemple they have whats called ''ADMIN POWER'' in private matches and let you access wall hacks and more for spectator the problem is the software use this code to run the cheat undetected and tune it to its finest so yes and no it help to contain the ppl in solo but its also a backdoor for online cheaters

"Why do people CHEAT in video games?"
The same reason they cheat on their "loved ones"
To satisfy themselves in a selfish manner
There should be a distinction between cheating for fun in a single-player game vs cheating in a competitive multiplayer match against people. Cheating in single player games is okay. Cheating in multiplayer matches is just scummy.
Not necessarily. Sometimes it's out of Borden and it can be oddly therapeutic. I can't explain why but I've never been selfish and in my moment of realisation and reflection I felt guilty and stopped.

I remember back when I was really into Modern Warfare 3, was into a clan and stuff... we used Kick tool to kick/ban hackers or cheaters who ruined the fun in some games.
And its weird, cos kick tool was in some way one could say "cheating", but let me tell you being in a game and playing against a hacker while YOU are the host (with kicktool on) and telling them: "Listen buddy, you got 10 seconds to turn off your hacks or your ass is out".
Naturally they NEVER listen but atleast poeple know there are "good cheaters" who are there to get rid of the rodants while they are playing the game as well.
mm, yeah I like games that have a 'group kick' option, so then that way if there's a hacker and everyone hates him/her, they just votekick them out and we continue on our way
Still wanna play mw3
Im fine with cheaters who only do it to victimized other cheaters i got teamed with a guy who said look man im using a hack but the only thing it does is show locations of other cheaters and ddoss there server's and hick them from the game i was spectating him after i died from a hacker and he shot the guy one time and the cheaters game crashed and it was like he left the lobby

Thats kinda weird but ok? You cant really compare a multiplayer and a singleplayer game because they are 2 very different things. Also, thats one of the biggest lies ive heard unless you really did. Theres something called leaving and joining another multiplayer match. But one last thing i wanna point out, just because you find 1 guy cheating in a game doesnt mean you should leave because everyone cheats in every game. There are cheaters EVERYWHERE no matter what game it is. At the same time, there might not be always cheaters in every match you might join in multiplayer games and they are pretty rare to encounter unless if you are playing a game with a lot of cheating problems but still. Nothing is stopping the cheating community so just get used to it and deal with it. Im just stating btw but i honestly dont care, im just putting my opinion out there. Just do whatever 🤷🏼♂️, i have nothing against it. :v
Especially on older games. Not even old, 2-3 years after a games release for console cheaters to appear, 6 months on PC. Sometimes the same week on PC
I believe cheating or hacking has become an accepted culture in the world lately, steroid use is at an all time high, seems like most multiplayer PC games have people using automation programs or some sort of assistance program. I remember back in 2011 I was playing quantum of solace on the xbox 360, my friend and I were playing to get the highest stats... we actually got it, took a picture for proof, suddenly about 3 weeks later the leader boards were deleted, someone had hacked into the server, wiped the stats the top players and put their own stats up as some large number well beyond what anyone else had.
Whenever I cheated it was either for this small development team from a few years back that had me so it so they could patch them before them went rampant or for fun, I don’t really see the “cheating for wins” bc to me it’s just a waste of your time at that point, and whenever I did something for fun it was usually in games where I wasn’t really disturbing anyone by doing it (gta, FS, etc.) games where your cheating was more for making the game interesting and fun than for gaining or winning from it.
Me: You did not talk about the Infinite Account issue. Like how cheating has no real consequence at all because you can just make another account.
Literally Everyone: Shhhhhhhhhh
It's fuckin true lol
I think the point is not to make more effective consequences, but to address the conditions from which cheating arises.

DayZ last year is a weird one. You HAD to dupe glitch to get high tier weapons bc it was no way to get in game in official servers on ps4... bc other people duped the high tiers out of the game's spawn limit.
Since everyone duped it was weirdly part of the game. Glitch not hack, but you get the idea.
The only time I used cheats was when you could get that peds with weapons and peds fight each other on vice city that was soo fun I remember doing that for hours when I was a kid
cheats in singleplayer/coop are fine, everyone has used them at some point to just fuck around. he means in pvp mp games.
In the last 24 hours, I started watching gamers who got caught cheating including optic India forsaken cs go gamer video, and other cs go pro cheaters and airsoft cheaters just for fun and gameranx made a video about cheating on the same day. Great content.
You failed to mention the thrill seekers, who want to see what they can get away with, and the profiteers(gold and item sellers,etc).
And the people that use it to have fun (such as some in GTA 5 that fly around in jumbo jets and unreleased vehicles)
The first one scares me, mainly because I'm the type of player that would end up being called a "casual cheater" if I were to start cheating, and I'm honestly afraid of falling into that hole. My mental health really isn't that great and I end up finding myself going to games for validation, but the issue is that I'm just... bad. Like, *really* bad, at almost every game, and it makes me feel like shit.
Okay so there probably aren't many people who do what I do but, I used to cheat all the time in video games, I was the kid that was bad mouthing people in the lobby, cussing people out, aim botting, scripting, wallhacking, you name it...but after a while, I started to see more cheaters, I heard all the people that would complain about it so I decided to do something, whenever NOW I run into a cheater. I will play with the dirtiest, slimiest, more exploitive cheats I can find, I will be the biggest fucking pain in their ass if I see them. Now I know it's just an online medium but, it feels good to piss off another cheater, granted I am one too, I'm no better than them, but still, it feels great to know that they're not gonna just get away with it while I'm in the game.
What do you all think? Am I a good guy now? Am I still an asshole? Did I leave the oven on before I left today? Let me know.
What you do by cheating the way you do is making other cheaters realize that they aren't as powerful or in control as they think they are, and I really understand that feeling. Keep going down this path if you see it suits you.

There's a thing known as regional dialect. Where pronunciation, syntax, grammar are quite different. Take an English speaking person from northern England, southern Texas, and and someone from Wisconsin. Although they can all speak English, each should invariably sound different from one another. My own example is that I lived in rural Pennsylvania for the first 14 years of my life than move to Ann Arbor Michigan. Where people spoke much faster and used a lot of slang. It got to the point where I had to tell people to slow down because I couldn't understand them. Until I learned and acclimated to their speech.

The thing that makes me think about cheating the most in games is just getting cheated against. Nothing sucks more than being prefired as you come round a corner, you didn't have a chance. The thing that stops me from cheating in retaliation is knowing the moment I do I'll lose all interest in the game, because the challenge is now gone. I think achieving cheaters have real issues.

I find myself going to trainers or cheat engine every time a game puts in an artificial wall and then tells me to grind for the next 4 hours to get past it. Assassin Creed Odyssey is a perfect example of it. The story missions didn't keep you leveled up enough to do just them and I wasn't interested in a lot of the side missions. Then there was the upgrading system for your gear and ship. I wasn't interested in running around picking up the next piece of candy. Unfortunately, I just straight up don't have the time anymore to get past these artificial lengtheners and cheat to keep the game going.
I do also unfortunately fall into the casual category. I have been finding it harder and harder to keep up with my favorite genres. Typically once I get too frustrated with a game the trainer comes out so I can move past the part that's frustrating me. My job keeps me plenty frustrated and I play games to blow off steam so I don't blow up on people (Verbally that is).
I have osteoarthritis in my hands it it physically aches to do repetitive tasks, but I have been gaming for 30 some odd years. I get sick of holier than thou people who complain about running macros in an MMO to avoid the very physically painful grind.
Very few games consider accessibility. That's (very) slowly improving, but the fact remains that a lot of games are still quite difficult to play with most impairments, and some are completely unplayable (some can't help it, but many _could_ be reworked to be playable). GMTK has done a few videos on accessibility in games. I wonder when WCAG will get extended to all software. 🤔
@@user-vn7ce5ig1z I had a bunch of friends who worked for Blizzard and 3 were my roommates for awhile. I said that I could no longer play without writing macros to do some tasks and they treated me like I was a serial killer. It's funny and sad that gamers treat such things so seriously and don't care at all for the reasons.
Bryan Wright recently bought assasins creed odyssey and I completely agree, how did you cheat to level up? Im tired of grinding for hours just for a level
@@midmango8577 Cheat Engine is your best bet. There are pre built lists of values that you can import to do stuff like add xp, gold, materials, etc.
1 reason why they cheat.
THEY ARE DOODOO AT THE GAME
DooDoo
If I'm doodoo at a multiplayer game, and I know I'm just gonna keep being doodoo, I won't play. But if I'm doodoo at a singleplayer game, imma cheat it fuck you I do what I want

To troll sweaty no lifes 😂😂
I’ve hacked on gta because I didn’t want to grind, and sometimes I would meme around with people, and off the person didn’t want to be annoyed, I would not annoy them ;)
Kookee Penguins alright, sounds good. Usually if it’s an online multiplayer game I like to advocate against cheating, but if you were just messing around and not using cheats against other players then more power to you.
I'd consider myself a "Robin Hood." I mod my save, and then share the wealth with anyone who wants it.
For example in Dark Souls I would give folks a bunch of Souls.
Same
Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we deserved
I do the same in borderlands 2, just with guns
This, but in NMS. Lovely game, but good god can the grind be excruciating for newbies.
you mean you're helping the unskilled to get things they didn't earn. ok lol.
I guess you're doing no harm...
This vid shoulda been titled why ppl cheat in multiplayer coz that seems to be the focus point
You usually cheat when the game is full of grinding and microtransactions
@Samuel Skinner That is why I glitched when I played. $2750 real dollars worth of glitch money ($220,000,000). 2013/2014 I barely glitched because it was easy to make money, and more importantly, things were cheap, Most expensive item was Adder (1 mil) and now a fucking civic is over a million.
115 Stig I remember doing that. I think it had to do with the car shops and repeatedly selling pimped out cars. It was so hard to actually buy anything by doing actual work in a reasonable time.
@Samuel Skinner gta online isn't really a pvp game like others so cheating in that is whatever, also fuck those shark cards lol. if you die in gta online it's no real loss.
I have no clue why you all want so much money in GTA Online.
@@jahimuddin2306 Because everything costs heaps.
Very big problem of cheating in Supreme Commander 2. My friends and I had a “no glitches” rule most matches. Glitches and exploits can be very fun when everyone knows them though because it makes the game ridiculous.
Casual cheating is what I do rarely and only in pve games where nobody can be wronged.
Lets be honest, its the only reason why we love GTA SA. Cant imagine how many hours I spent using cheats.
Not the only reason I love GTA San Andreas. I love the game without cheats
Single player is fine with cheats
jumping off a building and trying to do the invincibility cheat before dying
Dre S been over ten years since I played it still remember the jet pack cheat
@Miscellaneous Mind I'm aware.
The “this game is old and boring so I’m going to give everyone on the server 10x speed, unlimited ammo, wall hacks, and then at the end of the round drag everyone’s character to a centralized location and send them flying straight up for eternity” hackers are the absolute best. I don’t remember if it was Black Ops 1 or 2 for PS3 that had a bunch of hackers that share but my gosh was it a joy running into them.
Yeah there's the cool hackers who breath life into otherwise dying games and then there's the cheaters who fuck up competitive games
Toucan • like literally make Skyrim even more beautiful.
Or lewder depends which door you choose to open and walk into
Yea that was fun for about a single game. I just wanted to play an old game that I haven't played in ages though and I couldn't find any lobby that didn't have infinite ammo grenade launchers for everyone. Got pretty boring pretty quick. Of course that was before one of the got me banned for life.
I'll typically only cheat in games if there's an item I can't get through legitimate play (like the Alien Blaster in Fallout: New Vegas due to not having the Wild Wasteland perk) or if in something like Dark Souls where I've been farming for something for hours on end and even with item discovery boosting items active, I still can't get the item to drop, I'll just swap out an unwanted item with the desired item with Cheat Engine.

It really bothers me how he says it
It's better than how New Yorkers say Mario. Like... Meow-rio
How do you say it then
genuinely the most sympathetic take on cheating, and in a sense, the essence of criminality itself.
you should be a goddamn court justice, Falcon.
I don't do it for multiplayer. The reason I do in single player is because I don't have enough time like I did before to grind. And I just want to experience the game. I try to beat the game once before using any cheats, too.
There's a few types of cheaters that don't go mentioned here.
The Recreationists that do it for fun, y'know, Big Head Mode, dancing NPCs, wacky gravity effects and whatnot. Stuff that makes a game bizarre and hilarious.
The Challengers that do it because they don't feel challenged and actively take things away from themselves via cheats to make the game harder and thus more rewarding to beat.
I'm a bit of both of these at times. But then, I don't aim to hurt anybody... except myself.
for me they're just low life and have no skill just to ruin one's enjoyment of the game for online multiplayer.
Hackers on PC is one of the reasons why i prefer Console gaming.
Controllers is the big fat massive reason I can't touch a console. Cheaters are the biggest idiots in the world though.
I never play PC online anyway.
@@plopperator You get used to it, I honestly prefer playing singleplayer games on a controler (exept FPS for obvious reasons), I got one recently and it's much more confortable to just lean back while doing the easier levels
Pretty much
Console hacking exists too buddy boy. They are usually worse and harder to stop since they almost have to mod the console.
IE its more rare but worse.
I think a form of cheating is when people buy expensive accessories (e.g. $300 controllers) that 'enhances' their gameplay. It sets a huge disadvantage for those who aren't using the same crap. Nobody wants to play at a disadvantage, and I am surprised that matchmaking these days doesn't divide stuff like that.
There are actually some cheaters out there that are great people that want to see others have fun, but they are very outnumbered when it comes to most of these categories of cheaters, but its always good to know that theres always good people out there that enjoy others having fun
DS3, forgot to get my save file before hard formart my OS and lost everythying
now im cheat to recreate the same char as before
I know casual, but I play ofline

Yes, ds1 save in document mygame, ds2 and ds3 save in localapp somthing like this

I always loved building a new character, but its different for everyone
Git gud scrub
@@Windwalker88 I love too but this pissing me off because I was in the last boss
OMFG that WeMod Ad in the middle of the video 🤣
wemod is for single player games
WeMod is nice, sigleplayer only

I’ve been subscribed for a while and I just got this video as an ad on my homepage and that makes me unreasonably angry
There's one that crops up when a game's economy is so effets, that they feel they have no recourse BUT to cheat.
But... They also know everyone else is dealing with the same stuff.
Enter a different cheater: the Philanthropist. Spawning money, giving players items illegitimately, these guys facilitate a good time outside the intended means of the game's design. They might break the economy and create difficult-to-trace spikes of wealth among players, but they're doing it not necessarily to get back at the devs, though it might be that a bit too, but to help others continue to enjoy a game which might otherwise have become a tedious grind.
I'm thinking about a very particular game that while I didn't name-drop it, you probably had an idea of what it was. And the philanthropic cheaters, robin hood-esque heroes, are a godsend for some online games, and I love them.
I used to use a game genie or game shark all the time in the 90s and early 2000s. Member those? 🔵
I remember using GameShark on my N64 where you plug the GS cartridge in and then the real game on top of that cartridge. Old school lol. I think they made it on PlayStation as well where you enter a disc, pick your cheats, and then open the disc tray while it’s running and put the real game in.
Yup used it on ps1 for driver lol
@@deimos2684 lmao, did it allow you to skip the intro tutorial? Jesus that shit was hard.
@@SolidBoss7 They also made it for the Sega Genesis, I had it and loved using the Sonic cheats for extra rings lol
I only ever saw one once and I was like 8 and an older kid showed me how to get a lvl 100 teddiursa. Never actually used one so idk what they could all do. What were they exactly?
Add “vigilante” to the list of normal words Falcon can’t pronounce properly.
@Torryn Fiolrev Joisey - pronounced: trah-shh
@Torryn Fiolrev Come on, go easy on him. I mean he is a falcon after all.
My friend in overwatch just now followed me around in a 1v1
Wait I already watched this why was it re-recommended to me,
I love it when I beat someone and they tell me I cheated. Especially if they're a cheater themselves.
If being able to hear where an enemy is from behind a wall because I was paying attention is a cheat, call me guilty. It's not my fault they're super loud and years of stealth games has trained my directional hearing.
Sometimes in csgo dudes would turn on the cheats thinking my team was cheating because they were getting slapped real hard. That was quite sad.
But what about when the replay shows that the MTF couldn't know you were there, and he shot before you got there?
Why do my girlfriends CHEAT on ME? I NEED TO KNOW!!
MILK WITH CHUNKS - because they are evil!
Because you play on Stadia.

@@DR3S1NGH that's cold
People that use hacks often have mental conditions related to self esteem issues, either their parents didn't gratify them enough or they were held too much as a child but they don't have a moral compass and their brain rewards them for "winning" in a game
a close online friend i play r6 with for the last 4 years, started cheating for money reasons. he is high dia, but for a certain boosting platform you have get champion. well as i found out, he may gained a lot of money, but in the end he lost a lot of his friends :/
