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.
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.
"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.
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?
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...).
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..,
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.
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 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.
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 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
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
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.
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
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.
@@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 TH-camr 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.
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
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'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.
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 don't think people cheat because "iT mAkEs tHe gAmE mOrE fUn" or "I dOnt hAvE tHe TiMe tO gRiNd aNd iMpRoVe" I think any form of cheating or modding In any game simply means that you aren't good at the game but for the sake of lying to yourself and trying to make yourself and others believe that you're good, when in reality you're just bad, you do it anyway and use stupid excuses to defend yourself. If you're not good at a game and aren't going to be, just stop playing it and find something else. No one is asking you to stay.
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.

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.”
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
@@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
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
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.
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.
@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.
@@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
if i had cheats i wouldnt use it until someone starts using it to ruin the game im in, more like a "get the hell out of the server and stop ruining my fun" rather than "screw the world im going to hack"
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.
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.
If you don't like the mechanics of a game.... Just don't play it. Anything that you find to be too grindy, too repetitive, or just unrewarding; simply isn't worth your time.
@@VladimirDemi Just need to be careful with that. Glitches/exploits that exist within a game were made by the developer. They may not like it, but your only utilizing what they have already put in the game. If they don't like it, they need to patch it out. But if you were to use mods to give yourself extra cash. That would technically amount to theft as they do sell Shark cards for that very purchase.
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.
J M I get that on gta v a lot and I’m not that good, maybe above average. People will say I’m using aim bot and I’m thinking dude if you start a fight then move around like a slug then your going to get shot in the face lol
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.
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.
I would like to call myself an “empowering modder“ because when we are playing a game that has a lot of combat and if you have a character with unlimited mana or unlimited bullets, it’s just really fun to feel like an all powerful God laying waste to all the enemies. I usually play the game without mods first to get a genuine appreciation for the game then play it again with mods for a different experience. And I use the term “modding“ instead of “cheating“ because I only consider cheaters those who use cheats in multiplayer games. I consider someone who uses “cheats“ in single player games not cheaters because they’re not cheating anybody. They’re simply just modding the game for themselves. I’m a modder, not a cheater
I'd say a good 50% of cheaters are just laughing at people getting mad then continuing on with there lives just like anyone else , I'd love to have this same mindset as you that cheaters are sad or have some kind of problem but really it's not that deep , it's a video game
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 used to cheat both in singleplayer and multiplayer because I thought it was cool. Everyone ran just the game but hey, I got to run the game and the extra software or make the additional tweaks to the game files and that sort of got me extra features advantageous that the makers didn't even intend for me to have. After a short while in multiplayer, I started to notice the toxicity directed at me, I realized it was bad, so I somewhat stopped (stuck to just cheating when there were cheaters in the enemy team). Now, I just can't be bothered. As for singleplayer, it took me quite some time. I could never play GTA without cheating or using trainers for various games once I found out about them. But then I started to wonder why the hell I felt so bored while playing the games I loved playing. After a long while, I realized that by cheating, I kind of skipped a lot of things in the games that made them fun in the first place. Now, I don't cheat anymore in both singleplayers and multiplayers. I never cheated once in GTA V. I just don't like cheating anymore. I feel like it's not about having the achievement, it's about achieving it. It's not about got gud, it's about getting gud.
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.

8:40 - So… there's a lot of Chinese hackers because there are too many Chinese developers and not enough software-development jobs to go around so they're re-purposing their skills for evil?

I think there is one area where I don't mind cheating and it's single player games that are too hard for someone to beat. If you enjoy playing the game but you aren't good enough to win so you cheat to keep playing. I don't care about that because it doesn't impact anyone and you can continue playing the game you paid for.
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.

@AccidentalGenius 7 go to an airsoft tournament or a car meet, where you cant escape other peoples reactions and repercussions, you would get it, of course it's easy when u do it in an isolated and no one is there to hear the tree fall in the woods. And your lying to yourself, it's not fun, little kids play minecraft in creative mode and say it's fun, but it's not, there is no challenge, infact you will find that they will start to impose rules on themselves to make the game more interesting, it's very complex human psychology, but most boys understand when they become men, its alot more complex then you think
I hear the "cheating is lying to yourself, why even play the game" argument a lot, but realistically speaking if they wanted to play the game how it's intended they would have. There's a certain point where cheating in a game becomes a completely different game, which may or may not be more fun than the original game for the cheater.
But look at the grindy games grinding is a very boring part of the game, with cheating you fast up the grinding process and make it easier so you can jump straight to the fun i can bring an example rogue lineage (very hard to do anything in this game yourself without any kind of help, still possible and takes time) what do cheaters do? fast up the process and get what they want (class items and weapons) in 1 minute when originally it would take them 10 hours of grinding and playing which isn't fun at all.
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.
I would only cheat in a p2w game to skip the grind/pay walls. Mobile games for example. But in a game such as Monster Hunter World, I don't wanna cheat.
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

After losing for the 100th time you just force yourself to believe that you are improving when your not, you are just cheating
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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 don't think people cheat because "iT mAkEs tHe gAmE mOrE fUn" or "I dOnt hAvE tHe TiMe tO gRiNd aNd iMpRoVe" I think any form of cheating or modding In any game simply means that you aren't good at the game but for the sake of lying to yourself and trying to make yourself and others believe that you're good, when in reality you're just bad, you do it anyway and use stupid excuses to defend yourself. If you're not good at a game and aren't going to be, just stop playing it and find something else. No one is asking you to stay.

@@ornsteinthedragonslayer7516 I was joking, I couldn't care less
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 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.
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.

@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.

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.
if i had cheats i wouldnt use it until someone starts using it to ruin the game im in, more like a "get the hell out of the server and stop ruining my fun" rather than "screw the world im going to hack"
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?

And that's just blizzard games.
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.
Because I don't feel like grinding for hours and hours to buy 1 car in GTA V online...
Ditto I hate how much I takes to buy cars now
If you don't like the mechanics of a game.... Just don't play it.
Anything that you find to be too grindy, too repetitive, or just unrewarding; simply isn't worth your time.
@@mathewpoole3589 and that's why we do money glitches yes it's cheating but not in a way that affects other players
GTA online is fun just super grindy
@@VladimirDemi
Just need to be careful with that.
Glitches/exploits that exist within a game were made by the developer. They may not like it, but your only utilizing what they have already put in the game. If they don't like it, they need to patch it out.
But if you were to use mods to give yourself extra cash. That would technically amount to theft as they do sell Shark cards for that very purchase.
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.
*When you are so good on the game that people call u a hacker/cheater.*
J M I get that on gta v a lot and I’m not that good, maybe above average. People will say I’m using aim bot and I’m thinking dude if you start a fight then move around like a slug then your going to get shot in the face lol
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.
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.
I would like to call myself an “empowering modder“ because when we are playing a game that has a lot of combat and if you have a character with unlimited mana or unlimited bullets, it’s just really fun to feel like an all powerful God laying waste to all the enemies. I usually play the game without mods first to get a genuine appreciation for the game then play it again with mods for a different experience.
And I use the term “modding“ instead of “cheating“ because I only consider cheaters those who use cheats in multiplayer games. I consider someone who uses “cheats“ in single player games not cheaters because they’re not cheating anybody. They’re simply just modding the game for themselves. I’m a modder, not a cheater
SKYRIM FTW
Finally someone like me
@@73vvalentine Absolutely, no one would call a Skyrim player a cheater when using mods even though the mods implement all the same tactics.
Xicor The Lit God how to make cheaters with OP hacks ragequit.
Bring Saitama from one punch man
I do the same mostly on the resident evil titles. Whether it's costume mods or whatever. I've even modded re6 turn it to offline to not annoy anyone.
90% of cheaters are children. The 10% are sad neckbeards with no happiness in their life.
Vox Populi it’s a good assumption tho
Hi, cheater here. not a kid as I am in college with a job, not sad nor do I have a neckbeard.
A Typical Guy. Then what motivates you to cheat like a neckbeard?
I'd say a good 50% of cheaters are just laughing at people getting mad then continuing on with there lives just like anyone else , I'd love to have this same mindset as you that cheaters are sad or have some kind of problem but really it's not that deep , it's a video game
@@aTypicalMushroom if you are one then just toaster bath yourself
That's why I play cod, there's no cheaters and the community is just spectacular
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.
The cheaters who actually make the game better for everyone: **thumbs up cat**
Pass they are cool
Someone modded bo2 and created carnival rides
actually cheaters are stupid and make the game worse
StoppedEmu 67 that ain’t always true
@@MasterDril It is if it’s a multiplayer cheater. Ain’t no reason to cheat in a game where no one has any particular advantage over any other player.
genuinely the most sympathetic take on cheating, and in a sense, the essence of criminality itself.
you should be a goddamn court justice, Falcon.
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.
You left one out: The Repairman. Someone who uses a cheat or makes a mod to get around a bug the devs never patched.
*glares at all the times i had to use setstage and completequest console commands in Skyrim because of bugs.*

Simple answer. They hack or “cheat” because they are absolute trash at the game.
No
Mason the duck are you saying that because you are a hacker or cheater?
argvsnTV no cus I do it when I’m bored or to help friends
Mason the duck so you’re friends suck at the game?
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
Why is this an AD??????
Dying channel
Yeah
I used to cheat both in singleplayer and multiplayer because I thought it was cool. Everyone ran just the game but hey, I got to run the game and the extra software or make the additional tweaks to the game files and that sort of got me extra features advantageous that the makers didn't even intend for me to have.
After a short while in multiplayer, I started to notice the toxicity directed at me, I realized it was bad, so I somewhat stopped (stuck to just cheating when there were cheaters in the enemy team). Now, I just can't be bothered.
As for singleplayer, it took me quite some time. I could never play GTA without cheating or using trainers for various games once I found out about them. But then I started to wonder why the hell I felt so bored while playing the games I loved playing. After a long while, I realized that by cheating, I kind of skipped a lot of things in the games that made them fun in the first place.
Now, I don't cheat anymore in both singleplayers and multiplayers. I never cheated once in GTA V. I just don't like cheating anymore. I feel like it's not about having the achievement, it's about achieving it. It's not about got gud, it's about getting gud.
back when steam didn't exist in china. good times.
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?
I honestly want to know a cheater. To know exactly why they feel motivated to cheat, and if they feel some remorse.
There is another cheater butt these are rare they “hack” the game to exploit goods for others
Yeah have seen cheaters who drop money in GTA for others and give them nice cars lol
They are really rare tho, i agree
Infamous messiahs hahahaha
@@micholous they aren't that rare. I come across them like one in every 5 times I play.
Butt cheeks
@@micholous in GTA they often do that to get you baned since rockstar tracks that and if you get money too quick they ban you for hacking even if it was 'forced' on you.
Kind of cruel really.
Who else cheats in singleplayer games so you can get everything, and you can 100% the game faster and not have to go back
The second playthrough is always the playthrough in which you pull out all of them cheats
Did it on my second pt of Skyrim with mods too.
i wouldn't consider that 100%ing the game because I didn't put much effort in to it. I wouldn't feel satisfied and have to come back again.
Did that with Mario Kart Wii snd Smash Bros Brawl
@@vacio9906 Yeah, cheating just to be able to play 2 sides of a quest without restarting the entire game is one thing, cheating just to get the 100% mark is basicly the same as the "achiever" cheater
8:40 - So… there's a lot of Chinese hackers because there are too many Chinese developers and not enough software-development jobs to go around so they're re-purposing their skills for evil? Hmm, that sounds awfully familiar. After Americans got upset about call-centers jobs getting outsourced to India, they brought the jobs back, leaving a lot of empty call-centers in India which they re-purposed for scamming. There's a lesson to be learned here, but what? What could it possibly be? … 🤔

Never understood the joy that comes with cheating...
You know that satisfaction you get when your good and you make a player mad in cod they want that but know they can’t get it without cheating
It mostly euphoria
I think there is one area where I don't mind cheating and it's single player games that are too hard for someone to beat. If you enjoy playing the game but you aren't good enough to win so you cheat to keep playing. I don't care about that because it doesn't impact anyone and you can continue playing the game you paid for.
even I stopped to use hack...
you may get more in-game-bucks but you'll feel "hollow" with that
@@mrkrotos123 It's fun because cheating is a form of trolling. Why do people troll? Because it's fun.

@AccidentalGenius 7 cheating isn't fun unless your a bit of a sadist
Frozi_O Mmm idk about that playing GTA 5 offline is not as much fun when your punches don’t make shit explode and you can be immortal for 5 mins and fuck shit up.
@AccidentalGenius 7 cheating feels weird for men worth their salt, it makes men feel lowly about themselves
@AccidentalGenius 7 I dont play gta, that game is for man children
@AccidentalGenius 7 go to an airsoft tournament or a car meet, where you cant escape other peoples reactions and repercussions, you would get it, of course it's easy when u do it in an isolated and no one is there to hear the tree fall in the woods. And your lying to yourself, it's not fun, little kids play minecraft in creative mode and say it's fun, but it's not, there is no challenge, infact you will find that they will start to impose rules on themselves to make the game more interesting, it's very complex human psychology, but most boys understand when they become men, its alot more complex then you think

@@TheTacticalcheez I see you using that Lock Wanted Level code!
CrystalGreymon yep for some reason it’s the one cheat code I remember
Here's my reason why they cheat its because they suck at playing it for real so they cheat but to me that's a sign of weakness cuz they suck at it
I hear the "cheating is lying to yourself, why even play the game" argument a lot, but realistically speaking if they wanted to play the game how it's intended they would have. There's a certain point where cheating in a game becomes a completely different game, which may or may not be more fun than the original game for the cheater.
I have to admit.
HvH in CS:GO feels like a completly different game.
But look at the grindy games
grinding is a very boring part of the game, with cheating you fast up the grinding process and make it easier so you can jump straight to the fun
i can bring an example
rogue lineage (very hard to do anything in this game yourself without any kind of help, still possible and takes time) what do cheaters do? fast up the process and get what they want (class items and weapons) in 1 minute when originally it would take them 10 hours of grinding and playing which isn't fun at all.
Why does my man need an ad with 5 million subs
I only cheat offline so I could finish a game because I want to see the whole story.
Cheating should only exist in single player but multiplayer is wrong
I’ve exploited before by abusing a broken part of the game, but never cheated by adding, manipulating, or overlaying any code.
Still cheating lel
Frozi_O nah he just a brecci in bo3
still a warcrime do
I only cheat on single player games after I’ve finished everything to get a little but more fun out of it like rd2 for example
After watching this and reflecting on the cheating scene in Apex, I'm pretty sure a lot of the cheaters would fall into the Achievers category
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.
