Why do you even play online then? You could play against local bots.

The human connection matters, even to cheaters. Cheating against the computer isn't very satisfying.

That's totally false. Many single player games have build in cheats precisely because it's fun. Even if it's against the computer.

Do you ever feel like bots feel like really good humans? Even a (potentially) cheating human player is more interesting than a bot
