A Study on Players' Desire in Cheating Programs of Online Game - Focused on Shooter Games  

Ahn, Jin-Kyoung (Dept. of Korean-English Culture Contents, Kangnam University)
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify online-game players' desire in cheating programs through Rene Girard's theory of mimetic desire. Cheating programs disrupts the magic circle of the game with denying the lusory attitude that players should have. The cheating players' desires do not go directly to victory, but are mediated by a virtual 'model player' which the rules of the game imply. They are internally mediated, so there is constant conflict in the play. Cheating players' desire to enhance skills by technology is defined as a false desire for transhuman.
