By and large we do. Unfortunately, the losers don't care unless you identify them personally. For them, the thrill of cheating and griefing others easily overcomes some generalized cultural zeitgeist.

Or bad players might get owned by better ones, conclude the other guy was cheating and the only way to compete is for them to cheat as well.

Sort of like nuclear weapons

  • This has happened in online chess, with some people admitting to using engines (ie cheating) to "confirm their suspicion that the other guy is cheating".
