Cheating is a plague that nowadays ruins the gaming landscape worldwide, says Counter-Strike's co-inventor.
They have always existed: players who are too bad in competitive multiplayer games and can only keep up with others or those who simply want to spoil the fun.
Cheating is a plague. They existed in Counter-Strike two decades ago. But it was not as bad as today, like Minh Le, one of Counter-Strike's co-creators in an interview with Gaming World Media.
In the detailed and profound interview on the topic, Le said LE said that up to 50 % of the players in a multiplayer match do dubious things. It ruins the modern landscape of playing worldwide.
“It is a plague, because 20 years ago when Counter-Strike came out for the first time, cheating was a little problem, but it never achieved the extent that it has now.”
“Back then when I worked on Counter-Strike, I might have come across a cheater in 5 or 10 % of cases, but today, when I get into a multiplayer game, it is perhaps 40 or 50 % of the cases in which I come across any dubious thing.”
“As a player, you don't want to play games where this is the case – and as a developer you don't want to develop a game that is ruined. This is a really big challenge, and we have been trying to master this challenge for 20 years.”
When was the last time you encountered a cheater?
