The 2022 Call of Duty competitive cheating epidemic

Plehxify, the #2 ranked player in Call of Duty: Vanguard, was caught using wall hacks in a recent game he streamed on his Twitch channel on April 10, 2022, immediately following an almost identical situation a few weeks prior, in which Kenji, a player for Grand Canyon University in the College CoD League, was permanently banned from said league on March 29, 2022, after also using wall hacks in a low-stakes wager on the Checkmate Gaming platform, on which he was playing during his stream. In the inaugural episode of the ScythedSpeaks podcast show, we explore the Call of Duty cheating epidemic, the Ricochet anti-cheat system's shortcomings, cheaters' ridiculous excuses, and why the matter should be addressed, as well as how to do it; the continuing problem of cheating not only affects regular players, but also serves as indirect fraud when considering situations where the other party does not know hacks are used in a wager - such as Kenji's $4,000+ worth of earnings before his ban.
