Having cheated at a few competitive multiplayer video games over the years, this is one of a few good answers, particularly when it comes to FPS. That, and many such video games induce boredom so quickly, and almost always the reward at the end is not worth the time spent getting there. Sometimes I'm glad I didn't waste my time getting to end-game content just to find out it was more of the same (or garbage) anyway. I don't play multiplayer games anymore, at all really, unless it's cooperative/integrated like Elden Ring.
I think something like chess is different; cheating in video games feels more similar to hacking around some software just because you can and it's interesting.
