Inspired by shows like It’s A Knockout and Takeshi’s Castle, why someone would want to cheat in a game where 90 per cent of the fun comes from your flailing and failing is very confusing. Nevertheless, a portion of players will stop at nothing to get their grubby mitts on a coveted crown. At one point, PC players were encountering hackers in as many as one in every four games. These “bad beans” were able to run faster and jump higher than other players, and some even propelled themselves to the end of levels as soon as the round started. For shame.
