No Doc. I hve to disagree.
A lot of ppl are running away from online gaming because of the prevalance of cheating.
A small part found it as a niche to whatever they like in it but most are simply turning away from gaming.
I don't think it's a bad tendency generaly speaking ( for man kind benefits)but for a game like an airplane simulation with a slow learning curves it's simply disastrous.
Many old IL2 big names are not to be seen before long on any CoD server because of this. Youngest tht hve a gaming experience fully parasited by this problem won't for most see any interest to take the time needed to learn such complicated game. Hence the forseen success of much lighter simulation like WoP on console etc...
If 1c and alikes really wants to secure their busness model, it's a battle tht they wld hve to fight. We as users are simply helpless and more like being kept as hostage by the cheater.
As hacking and cheating has now become virtually an "industry", companies like 1C are now taking direct hits from this guys and their corporate model is now directly affected dollar wise. Hence I am confident they will now take it very seriously and found the parade.
