Like the majority of people on here, I have a tendency to wait until after I've beaten a game before I start cheating. There are only a few games where I cheat. The Sims 2 is an example. Sometimes it gets boring starting out from scratch, and working your way up. Sometimes you just want the luxury of, well...luxury. Though it tends to get a bit stale after a while, so I go back to my legit houses. Some games I'll cheat, but not save it, not only because sometimes it can ruin stats, like in GTA4, but because you want the satisfaction of beating a game on your own with no help at all.

I am of mixed feelings on this topic. On the one hand, I HAVE been known to put in a cheat code now and then in order to pull through a difficult level, but ONLY to the point where I can figure out what needs to be done to properly get through the area in question. It was mentioned earlier, and I feel it is right...cheating DOES take the point of the game away, as there is no incentive to win! As for cheating in online games, I feel this is unfair to the people that play fairly, and people that break the rules or take advantages of the flaws or bugs in the game should first be deprived of the benefits they gained from it, then banned for a reasonable period of time if they continue to exploit the game, and, if all else fails, a permanent ban if they continue thier actions. I do realise that some types of banning are not effective, as some IP adresses are dynamic (change each time they log into the Internet, for those that don't know); some "professional" cheaters choose thier ISP for that reason, so they can get around thier bans. However, thier activities usually end up giving them away, and the dance begins again. As a further note, I am writing this as a former Guide in Everquest, and as a PM in Runescape.Edit:Typo Demon

cheating for me is no problem.And cheats are only there for the people who are sometimes completely hopeless and think it is impossible to finish such and such mission.But what they dont understand is that games are made so they you can finish them and they are actually possible to finish without trainers, hacks and cheats.
