A 21-minute video from Karl Jobst about a 2025 videogame cheating scandal:

In short: One of the professional teams in the FPS game Squad built a sophisticated set of scripts that made it easier to use the game for esports tournaments by adding additional UI, useful stats, a floating camera, an extra over-the-shoulder view, and so on. The community embraced the scripts as they genuinely made the spectating much better.

Months later, it turned out that the creators not only hardcoded easier rules for their own team, but even added a pretty comprehensive set of cheating keyboard shortcuts.

The useful esports spectating scripts were, in effect, a trojan horse. A fascinating story, plus an interesting case of psychology of cheating.
