If you consider the miserable schmuck who barely gets by in his job by playing games to be "successful in life," you're... well, you shouldn't.
Find something you ENJOY doing with your time 40+ hours a week, and do THAT. That is the person who has won at life.
What value does the cheater actually gain? Almost nothing.
I mean, if that job is the only job he can possibly do to survive, and he is genuinely incapable of doing it properly (because doing it properly would, in practice, give him much more actual job security), he has gained a value... but that is a very false hypothetical.
