It would be interesting to know why the one thumbs-down below the initial post. Is it someone who thinks computer game culture cannot twist a person's self-image in any way? I've played so much of them myself that I know there's a risk of being totally hooked and losing interest in any real-world achievement. In fact, I just had to quit playing them altogether (again) because of that.
I also didn't explain what I mean by "real gain". All morality aside, I understand why someone would cheat to get money. But to cheat on lichess where it makes no real difference anywhere in the real life, that was beyond me. I think it has to be the same shallow sense of achievement you get when you chop wood in Skyrim and get a badge for that.
