You can raise the cost of cheating so that cheating kids will get annoyed and go cheat in some other game or scroll TikTok or whatever. We're not exactly dealing with nation-states here.

"Bored kids" is a pretty naive idea of cheating in PvP games. There's custom hardware for it, and a surprisingly large amount of people spend more than $1k/mo just to cheat in video games.

Most cheating software come from china and russia, I still bet those government actively encourage cheating in games just to annoy western countries.

I used to work at a biz in the states selling modified ps4 and xbone controllers, they weren’t cheap and the money was kept in the states.

Grow up, you cannot honestly think that government employees in Russian and China dont have more important things to deal with than ruining western teenage gamers experience with state funded cheat codes and hacks.
