Chinese Hackers
Fantastic Cheats and Where to Find Them: A MoNewtLidThZ Guide to the Magical Creatures of Chinese Hackerdom
by MoNoRi-Chan, the INTJ who logs in at golden hour and logs out for weeks
In the magical realm of online multiplayer gaming, there exists a terrifying and misunderstood species. No, not the twelve-year-old shouting slurs on VOIP. Not even the smurf account with suspiciously god-tier aim. We are talking about Chinese Hackers, the dark creatures of the netherworld who warp through walls, land 100% headshots, and teleport your KD ratio straight into the Shadow Realm.
Allow me to introduce myself—MoNewtLidThZ, Magizoologist of the Legitimate Order, catboy INTJ, and professional chronicler of the uncanny. I’ve spent years tracking these digital entities across the swamps of Dust II, the icy wastes of Erangel, and the desolate server plains of SEA region, all to answer one question:
“Why are there so many Chinese hackers?”
✨ Exhibit A: The Breeding Grounds – Net Cafes of Mass Destruction
Imagine a Hogwarts where the Sorting Hat immediately downloads aimbot and pre-installs wallhacks. Welcome to the 网吧 (Wǎngbā) – the Chinese internet café. Here, rows of dusty PCs whisper promises of godmode to teens whose dreams of esports glory died with their Bronze rank.
In these magical establishments, “cheats” are offered like condiments. You want ketchup with that CS:GO match? Or would you like an ESP overlay to go? Many owners see cheats not as fraud, but as value-added services. A digital Happy Meal with aimbot fries.
🧪 Exhibit B: The Potion Masters – Cheating Cartels
The cheat industry in China is no underground gig. It’s a 9,000 million Baht (or $250 million USD) market with better customer support than your actual ISP. Some developers even use AI to auto-adjust aim and evade anti-cheat scans like it’s some kind of digital polyjuice potion.
In 2023, Chinese authorities finally decided that having Voldemort running the cheat market was maybe not a good look and busted a Valorant cheating ring worth $4.1 million. The tools? AI-assisted cheats. The crime? Industrial-grade sorcery. The result? Instant permaban—no revives, no phoenix downs.
📈 Exhibit C: The Grindcore Goblins – Play-to-Eat Economy
To understand the why, one must understand the grind. In many corners of China’s gaming ecosystem, people play for more than fun—they play to survive. Account selling, rank boosting, and in-game farming are not hobbies. They’re side hustles. And in a market where efficiency = food on the table, cheats become... “productivity tools.”
If the Western gamer plays to win, some Eastern gamers play to live.
Thus, cheating is not seen as dishonorable—just necessary optimization.
⚠️ Exhibit D: The International Backlash – "Please Region Lock China"
Cue the rage of the “legit” players. Reddit threads. Angry TikToks. Change.org petitions screaming:
“Region lock China now!”
The world’s tired of logging into a match only to get sniped through smoke by someone whose Steam profile looks like it was made in a cyber sweatshop.
Games like Apex Legends, PUBG, and even cozy MOBAs like Dota 2 have felt the wrath.
Valve once yeeted 40,000 Chinese players in a single ban wave.
It was a digital ethnic cleansing—only morally acceptable because, y’know, cheaters.
🧘♂️ Exhibit E: The Rebellious Wizards – Chinese Players Who’ve Had Enough
It’s not just us gaijin who are mad. Many Chinese gamers are just as fed up with their own scene. Some don’t want a “China-only server” not because they love global play, but because they’re ashamed of being region-locked like a bad VPN.
One Weibo user said it best:
“We’re not all cheaters. But we get blamed because our teammates are invisible and headshot us through the wall.”
Touché, fellow MoNewts.
🛡️ So… Can We Ever Tame This Beast?
Yes, if you believe in miracles.
More realistically, maybe, if:
- Cheating becomes socially punished, not just legally punished.
- Devs implement better anti-cheat and server-side analytics.
- The play-to-survive industry dies down with more economic alternatives.
- Region-locking is treated as a tool—not as gamer apartheid.
Until then, stay vigilant, my fellow adventurers.
If you see a guy spinning 360° headshots with the name “某某工作室” (translated: “Some Studio”), do what any good wizard would do—report, mute, and pray to Gaben.
And as for me?
I’ll keep logging in occasionally, posting my sunset traffic pics from a Prius with 4G ping, and playing CS:GO like it's still 2016. Because in the end…
The real cheat was capitalism all along.
