Cheating in online games has been an ongoing issue for many years. Some of the most common synonyms for the act of cheating in online games include glitching, hacking, and exploiting. Glitching refers to using a mistake or loophole in the game's programming to gain an advantage over other players. Hacking, on the other hand, involves gaining unauthorized access to the game's code or server to modify the game's mechanics and give oneself an advantage. Exploiting refers to using a specific gameplay tactic repeatedly to gain a significant advantage. Regardless of the synonym used, cheating in online games has an adverse effect on the gaming experience for other players and is generally frowned upon.
