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'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't even particularly care about being good or winning. You wouldn't cheat at tic tac toe despite the inherently low stakes of the game so it doesn't seem any different in any other video game.I also have no trust in any sort of gaming related records of feats of ability. I'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.Really my only point is that I despise cheaters and any game that isn't single player or only between friends may as well not exist for me anymore.
