As an exclusive campaign single player, I say every and all multiplayer is trash garbage. Games are strictly entertainment for something to enjoy. Winning is irrelevent, the experience is what's important.
I only buy games that have a story campaign with replay value and I refuse to do any online multiplayer. I don't feel better for beating other people, it's nothing more than a game. People are not interested in how many times someone else wins at video games, it's only a hobby. People who cheat in games are losers who have nothing outside, going out with friends to enjoy.
I usually enjoy online multiplayer because it’s always a different and unpredictable experience. Keeps it fresh. I don’t really feel competitive when I play against other players. The key is to play casually, and disable voice chat. There’s never anything of value in random voice chat, only the contrary. And if cheaters show up, just exit and do something else.
That said, if you find yourself feeling very strongly about how you think the other players might feel when they win or lose, then I agree it’s probably a good idea to just avoid multiplayer or any other environment you perceive as toxic and unhealthy.
What goes wrong with a person for them to get cheat software because they are so determined to win rather than either practice and develop their skill or accept the fact that they don't have what it takes to win a specific game, and be comfortable with the possibility that game is not for them? The second someone attempts to cheat or hack in a video game, they have immediately proven themself to be a complete loser.
