...The cheat won. Not you.
Thank you for expressing that... something that was nagging me as I read the article and these comments.
I understand why people cheat in Vegas: they might walk away with real money.
I understand why athletes take steroids: million dollar contracts, fan adoration, groupies.
But, the point of online gaming is pure competition. It's anonymous, you don't even get the adoration of strangers. (and you're losing money, to boot!)
Cheating online just seems like bringing a pistol to a 1-on-1 basketball game, gunning down your opponent, shooting the ball through the hoop a couple of times; and then telling yourself what a great basketball player you are.
If you cheat, your score will always be a zero.
Those numbers in the corner don't mean anything...
