As someone who only has minimal passing knowledge of the current competitive games - what do cheaters get out of going to such lengths?
Mostly they get to be cunts on the internet and get off on the hate.
Some hide the fact that they're cheating and try to pretend they're actually good players.
Usually there's no real or monetary reward, other than like boosting services that might use cheats.
That's just...sad.
