Hard to know. In the past, I used to play a lot to online game
(proprietary software unfortunately) and I was clearly hating this
kind of software, just used in a spirit of competition, by winning
unfairly.
But if there's so many scanning programs for games, it also means that
many people are enjoying these programs (it is not a big surprise to
me that many people enjoy unfair tools).
