it's relevant because I don't want to suffer with a gamepad in an FPS... I couldn't careless if other people are suffering with me.
Competitive console gaming is growing sure, but that's also just a reflection of the entire gaming market. I think PC gaming is dying. Consoles are more accessible to the average folk... but as it stands, PCs are the place to be for the competitive player.
The cheating thing has always been a non-issue for me. People complain far too much about it, and I think in 9 out of 10 cases it's just a better player raping a shitty one. I've been called a hacker hundreds of times throughout my gaming history and I've never hacked in any game. Even people in LoD thought I hacked in CS:Source when it first came out. It's inexperience, excuses and a lack of talent.... with a dash of whine. It's blatantly obvious when a person hacks, and it isn't as rampant as people would make you believe. It's especially hard to hack in leagues and get away with it, with all the anti-cheat measures. It's only a matter of time before console gaming is "flooded with hacks," anyway.
