The golden rule always applies. There are not exceptions in criminal law for people who want specific crimes committed against them (ie sexual assault).

To further argue the point: if all players were cheating then there would be no competitive advantage to cheating, which eliminates the only reason a subset of players cheat in the first place. Even by skewed standards it violates the golden rule.

Do you know what "the golden rule" says? Literally, "as you would have them do". The cheaters really don't care that other people also cheat. That is, they cheat and they would have others cheat too. That is a totally logical position. You'll need to expectorate some other hoary old maxim to support your cantankerous old argument.
