    When did video games get so serious that we need to do these things? Ridiculous.

      As someone who has played a decent of competitive games in the past, it is less about them being extremely serious, and more about how much people cheating ruins the fun for everyone else.

      For example, a soccer Sunday league might not be that serious, but you still wouldn't want someone frequently running on the pitch with a golf club and whacking the ball into your goal with no consequences.

        Definitely not frequently, but once or twice a lifetime would provide a measurable uplift.

          People buying cheats do not stop at once.
