NICKMERCS & Tfue call for cheating in video games to be \u201cillegal\u201d Pixabay\/NICKMERCS\/TfueTwitch stars Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney and Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff have sparked a heated debate after calling for cheating in video games to be made illegal. Cheating in video games comes in two forms: fun single-player cheats to enhance one\u2019s own experience and nefarious multiplayer cheats such as wallhacks that make games unfun. Both Tfue and NICKMERCS have had their fair share of run-ins with cheaters in competitive games ranging from Fortnite to Warzone and Apex Legends. Now it would seem like the two have reached their tipping point. On July 31, Tfue made a post on social media advocating for new laws that would make cheating in video games a crime, and NICKMERCS was quick to chime in, voicing his agreement. \u201cI\u2019m in. Where do we sign?\u201d the MFAM leader wrote, fanning the flames of the debate to come. Gamers debate making cheating \u201cillegal\u201d Following NICKMERCS\u2019 remark, Minnesota Rokkr content creator Rasim \u2018Blazt\u2019 Ogresevic pushed for those found guilty to get life in prison with no parole and just one hour of light a day. \u201cAgree completely, I have so much resentment for anyone who does it that ISN\u2019T 11 years old and knows better,\u201d Apex Streamer Rogue replied with similar sentiments. \u201cAnd the fact we have 18-30-year-olds doing it\u2026\u201d Not everyone voiced the same opinion, however. Some felt that making cheating illegal would punish cheaters too heavily while others wanted politicians to deal with matters other than video games.

More important things going on in the world than worrying about who\u2019s getting more kills than you in Warzone im afraid \u2014 Christian (@MrCCockayne) August 1, 2022 Interestingly, in Soth Korea, cheaters have been sentenced to prison for cheating in video games with hack distributors facing fines up to $43,000 or 5 years of jail time. As for politicians debating the cheating issue, it\u2019s definitely not off the table if recent history is anything to go by. Last month, US politician Ted Cruz agreed to discuss video game microtransactions with Twitch star Asmongold, so it\u2019s possible that Tfue and NICKMERCS\u2019 hacker dilemma won\u2019t fall on deaf ears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
