  • It will ruin the experience for anyone playing competitively in a ranked mode, which means invalidating that mode entirely. This drives players away from competitive games like CS, Valorant, etc. which is why those games all use anti-cheats.

    Similarly if there is a persistent world or some state that the game relies on to make the game fun for everyone, e.g. extraction shooter, MMORPG, etc then if the game state’s integrity is compromised it loses meaning entirely. Imagine playing chess but your opponent can move the pieces any way they like; it stops being a game.

    I do agree that games where everyone agrees on cheating should allow it.
