Not unknowingly. The hacker turned on obvious cheats (wallhack, aimbot) during their matches. Both players reacted immediately, clearly stating that they have hacks on in voice chat. One of them then left the match, the other player continued, but stopped shooting.
A lot of newer shows cannot be watched randomly though because the episodes actually build upon each other.
If you take older shows like TNG or X files: you could easily jump back in after missing half a season. The episodes were written to be mostly self-contained, because missing an episode or two because of life was very very common. Season finales were often a major exception, and were therefore also majority advertised so people knew to plan around them.
If you write a show for streaming, however, there is no concept of “missing an episode”. So the writers are freed from that constraint, and subsequently write shows that are only meant to be watched in their entirety, in order.
