What Happened to Online Gaming?

Hello, first off I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit or if this question is a bit…. Elementary.

I have recently got back into gaming on my PC after a bit of a hiatus due to some personal reasons. While I know there have always been people out there that want to ruin things for everyone else, or need a win so bad that this is acceptable to them. But I am at a point where I feel like I can’t even enjoy the games I once did without it being ruined by someone blatantly hacking the game and making it unplayable.

One of the games in particular (I don’t want to open that can of worms bc skill is very much involved) has been inundated with blatant cheating to the point where not only do people not bother to hide it But reports seemingly do nothing.

At the end of the day, I know it’s just a game. But the 2 hours I get at the end of the day to do some of the hobbies I like to do myself feels ruined. I am aware of the thousands of games out there that don’t have this problem but the fact that I can’t enjoy something I like because of other people just kept leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

At this point it has been months of dealing with this since I first started to enjoy gaming again. I have tried submitting clips to support. Opening tickets, and using third party anti cheat servers. With the latter being the most effective but not 100%.

I feel a bit defeated. I don’t know what to do. Part of me wants to do something about it (counter hacking but I have close to no knowledge on the ins and out or the legality of doing this). Or I just give up and accept it is a part of gaming now.

My main question is: do most people experience this and just accept it? Is there a way to HvH legally? Which I hope it doesn’t open me to backlash.

Thank you for taking the time to hear my gripes and any advice/critisism is welcome.
