The PvP game landscape is just really sad at this point. I have been playing some Deadlock with friends and there's a cheater almost every other game. It's mindboggling to me how there are so many people that would pay money just to ruin the game for everyone else.

Why would it be? The neglected generation that got used to spending their parents money on micro transactions and spewing left and right "i hope you get cancer and fkn die" has grown up to spending their parents money on cheats and spewing left and right "haha you suck, kys".

It was unavoidable. Can't even blame the parents who're too busy working the equivalent of 2-3 jobs in order to stay afloat. It's just a shitty development of current society that will wreck us for generations to come.

I’d argue the death of community run servers did more harm than micro transactions.

Back in the day you’d have at least one admin in the lobby taking out the trash.

All of the old Unreal Tournanent servers with crazy mods
