The Bottom Line

Issue date: 9/27/06 Section: The AT Wire

Let's get a few things straight before continuing. Today, cheating at online games is as easy as downloading an illegal MP3! Cheats and hacks are everywhere on the Internet if you know how to look for them. It is this reason that I must make a personal request. Please, do not refer to cheaters as hackers. They are almost 90% of the time not "hackers." The true hackers are the ones who shift through lines of game code and then program the cheats themselves. The ones who think they are so much better than the rest because they "hack" are, in all actuality, nothing more than pathetic losers with an Internet connection.

People I know who have admitted to cheating at online games at least once have always said to me, "You know, it is funny at first, but then after a while, it's just boring." Think about it; if you cheat to the point where the people you are playing, no matter what game it is, are never a challenge, then what is the point in playing at all?

A thief believes everyone steals and a cheater believes everyone cheats but they all get owned sooner or later.
