Title says it all

[xclouded1]

In what way do you mean, since they are both similar?
Do you mean in terms of games? You need to hack in order to cheat right?

[DramaKing]

Cybercrime is a felony offenwin many jurisdictions, so hacking.

well i would say Hacking, because most people are Blackhat or Grayhat hackers, there is a percentage of White Hat Hackers of course, but cheating is something everybody does i think, but no one gets like in real trouble.

So i would still say hacking, because you will get to jail for hacking but not for cheating :D

Honestly, I’d say cheating is worse. Cheating is straight-up breaking trust, whether it’s in a relationship, a game, or even life in general, it hits on a personal level. Hacking, on the other hand, depends on context. Sometimes hacking is just curiosity or skill being tested, and it can even be used for good (like ethical hacking). But cheating? There’s no good version of that, it’s just disrespectful all around.

I think the Title doesnt say it all, considering cheating means multiple things, either game cheats or cheating on gf, really changes my answers on this question haha

Yeah, the title is kinda vague, isn’t it? Cheating can mean anything from using game hacks to cheating on a partner, two totally different levels of 'wrong.' My answer would definitely depend on which type we’re talking about, haha!

Depends on what you're cheating in/on. Also, what are you hacking?
I believe there is a good and a bad side for hacking but no good side really when it comes to cheating.

So likely cheating is the worst between the two.

well if we look at it objectively, there are way worse things done when hacking even if some do it good like white hat, it gets vastly outnumbered by Blackhats!

Cheating is always bad but not nearly as bad as some very mean Blackhats :D

[GILBERT]

Some countries have death penalty for cheating, especially for women, so cheating isn't always safe. I doubt hacking leads to death, so hacking it is, for me.

I mean I suppose. Hacking can be good or be bad.
Cheating is just bad right? Is there such thing as "good" cheating?

Hmmm not really, you could say cheating against cheaters is good, which at the same time is a good comparison between white hat and blackhat hackers

Cheating against cheaters in what context?
If you wife is cheating, so you go out and cheat, is that good?
If you gaming and playing a cheater, so you get cheats to beat the cheater, is that good?

Where is cheating against a cheater good?

yeah not the first one 😭 If your wife cheats, have a bad month and try to get over it, no forgiving or doing so the same for me ;(

But yes cheating against a cheater in games is good in my opinion, lets say someone destroys the fun in a game, another good cheater comes kills that bad one and goes on to play without them after :D
