If I’m not able to determine that someone is cheating, do I care? That’s no different from my perspective as them just being really good.

Whether they’re actually that good is immaterial.

When they go beyond what a good player could do is where it gets problematic.



Why do you even play online then? You could play against local bots.

The human connection matters, even to cheaters. Cheating against the computer isn't very satisfying.


Do you ever feel like bots feel like really good humans? Even a (potentially) cheating human player is more interesting than a bot


That's totally false. Many single player games have build in cheats precisely because it's fun. Even if it's against the computer.


If you accept that, then you may as well play against bots locally.
