    Cheating would be if he used external software to modify the game state/gained knowledge about the game state he wasn’t supposed to have.

      Other things beyond that can also be cheating. That is one kind of cheating but other things can be cheating as well.

        When I hear that someone cheated in a videogame I think about using external software. When I hear that someone boosted in a videogame I think about account sharing. Maybe that’s just me, idk.

          From my perspective, cheating would also include account sharing. Would they give me the title for eating the most hot dogs in 15 minutes if I let 10 of my friends help me?
