Games are about fun. As long as you're having fun then where's the harm?
I don't play online games much. And I've never even tried to cheat when I did. I know the difference.
But if it's a single player game and I'm having trouble? Hell yeah I'll cheat. Proudly.
It bothers me that stuff like GTA V or Red Dead doesn’t have cheat codes. Memorizing the whole list for San Andreas made you a god when playing with your friends and taking turns. Single player should let you turn on all the wacky physics and crazy mechanics you want
Oh yeah, I wouldn't cheat if I were playing with other humans, but sometimes I want to explore depths of a game that time just doesn't permit, so I gotta skip the grind and get right to the part where I'm unkillable. And yeah, if you're having fun, that is the point!
