Why Cheating In Video Games Is Bad
- As it turns out, not everyone who cheats in a multiplayer game is an unrepentant jerk who only wants to ruin someone else’s day. Actually, you’d be surprised at how often good people are put into.
- Cheating can, of course, be a good thing. We've all entered cheat codes into games to unlock special modes, to obtain weapons, to give ourselves infinite ammo, or extra lives.
- Cheating can be bad at some times because if you cheat too much on one game, the game might crash and you won't be able to play it anymore. Cheating also bores some people who play Video Games.
- Cheating so thoroughly plagues gaming that it's long been common to type out 'VAC' on Twitch in reference to Valve's cheat sniffer in jest or seriousness when a player scores a beautiful headshot.
For multiplayer, cheaters/hackers should all DIAF. I have never and will never cheat when competing against others. I wish I could offer up an explanation or two for why people cheat, but I just don't get it. I am horribly bad at FPS games, so I just don't play them. Cheating would not be satisfying or fun for me at all.

In this paper, we discuss how academic dishonesty in general and what role if any, the structure and teaching of courses – as a part of business management curriculum in particular – plays, in curbing that dishonesty.
Cheating can be defined as any act of academic dishonesty and is encountered in various forms. There has been extensive research [Whitley, 1998] to analyze fraudulent exercises- especially in undergraduate school setting. 72% students report to have taken part in at least one form of fraudulent exercise. Such activities range from fraudulent excuse making (in order to delay the beginning or end of academic tasks) to “copy-and-paste” plagiarism to cheating during…show more content…
We conclude the discussion by suggesting possible means and approaches to curb the cheating.
Demographics of Cheating
While cheating in an academic setting is commonplace and persistent in collages in United States [McCabe, 1996] both the type and the frequency of cheating by students vary widely. Demographics of cheating based on the race and the gender are at the best appears to be a mixed bag. Cheating among males and female students is almost evenly split. Asians (6.4%) were far less likely to cheat than African-American(8.1%) or Caucasians(74%)[Meghee, 2008 and Lawson 2004].
Upon examining cheating based on academic streams, business students were found to be far more likely to cheat than any other graduate students [Meghee, 2008]. Specifically, Business students were far more likely to cheat during the exam than other professions [Klien, 2007]. It is further interesting to note that students from Tier 1 business schools are less likely to cheat than Tier 2 business schools students.[Premeaux, 2005]
Klien [2007] and Ameen et.al [1996] further argue that graduate students from business and accounting professions are more likely to cheat in their professions (outside academic setting) if they would have cheated during their graduate studies.
