I'm sorry, I can't sympathize with some cry baby that whines about him not having an out in his "real life" to justify himself ruining others gaming experience in their real life. Online gaming or not, its a thing people do in their real lifes. This guy is basically saying, "Since I can't go around, slap people in the face at work, set houses on fire and can't speed because I'll get a ticket, I cheat in online games to relieve my frustration, which justifies it."
Yeah, it's crap and even more so, pathetic. Just another example of a guy with short man syndrome that only goes online for the anonymity, not having to answer for his actions and to overall just grief other people who are genuinely just trying to enjoy some gameplay in the daily "Real life". Games are an activity done in the daily lives of many, its a hobby some people take great pride in, as with anything. Why would you want to disturb these people just trying to relieve their own stress, doing so in a fair way to the others trying to relieve there's after pulling a 10 hour work shift getting treated like crap. Cheaters are selfish, that's all there is to it and to justify writing an article about "a cheaters side of the story" it is laughable at best, it's a no brainer (literally).
Also to say they're the "Steroid Users of Video Games" is an Insult to even the people that use steroids...because atleast they have to put forth effort and try, steroids aren't just a magical button/command that makes them run a 4 minute mile.
Also, bad on Kotaku for even writing an article in such poor taste. Even going as far as giving free publicity to the "hack" maker at the end of the article.
