Valve bans 40k Dota 2 accounts using honeypot patch
I have found over the last 5 years that it is impossible for me to take online multiplayer gaming serious in any capacity anymore. Cheating has become so rampant and so ubiquitous that I have no confidence in any online gaming match to be cheater free. If people are cheating then what am I even playing for? It&#x27;s only fun for me when I know there is some semblance of integrity between the players, but nobody else seems to care. I don&#x27;t even particularly care about being good or winning. You wouldn&#x27;t cheat at tic tac toe despite the inherently low stakes of the game so it doesn&#x27;t seem any different in any other video game.<p>I also have no trust in any sort of gaming related records of feats of ability. I&#x27;ve been deeply involved with gaming communities in the past where people would show off their world records. I would question such scores only to be flamed and then years later it is discovered they were cheating after all.<p>Really my only point is that I despise cheaters and any game that isn&#x27;t single player or only between friends may as well not exist for me anymore.
