He's right, Dark Souls PC IS full of hackers, but it's your fault if you try to play the game without a controller and essentials like DSFix. The lack of hate-mail is kind-of annoying too, but have fun playing online on console without mods like PvPWatchdog to protect against insta-curse/egghead cheaters.
Dark souls 2 does have a worthless cheat detection, but if anything that's just another way to grief players (drop hacked items > unwary player picks it up > crashes game when he tries to remove it > gets banned from playing online ever). The few cases where legitemate hackers get banned they can just make an alt, steam family share and be back in business.
