Play the games how you want to have fun, and anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong. I've dabbled in "cheating" myself, whether it's giving myself 60 pts for starting traits in Zomboid, or building really unbalanced maps in AoE II and preventing the computers from ever advancing, it's fun to sometimes modify the rules to benefit me unilaterally.

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!
