Yeqh, I do cheat sometimes, especially in games with puzzles. I love strategy, but hate puzzles, so to have fun in games that have puzzles, I do cheat so I can enjoy the rest of the game. Also, in some games with RNG, I can avoid the worst results because I dont find luck enjoyable. I like to win or lose a game depending on my skills, so I dont find RNG enjoyable. But I might, at the same time, turn up the difficulty to compensate
Cheat to enjoy the game, not to win. Winning by cheating is no fun
Second: depends. If a game is too hard for my old ass, I cheat it easier. Like, a headstart with money or more life in an fps or whatever. It is MY play through, I have to enjoy it. And I’m gaming since the first ever pacman, I got spoiled. Just because a Dev thinks this is great, doesn’t mean I have to. So, if I can change that to MY preferences, yeah sure.
If it’s a second run of a game I might go nuts and testing everything 😏
PS: goes without saying, but only single player. Never ever cheated in multiplayer. Being called a cheater was the greatest honor though 😁
I used to be like you. Way back when, I would love to cheat currency into single player games with a little help from cheat engine. The biggest culprits were BTD5 and PvZ1/2, and it’d give me a kick just being able to go through and buy everything before using it all while feeling unstoppable
Since then, I’ve gone back and replayed the games without cheating, and I honestly regret using cheat engine. It felt way more rewarding getting everything at a more sustainable rate, like I really earned the item
You also talk about feeling like you earn the ability to cheat, but, looking back on my own experience, I can safely say that I was terrible at gauging whether or not I should use a hack. Turns out, when you have a shiny item in a shop that you could come back in a few hours for or get instantly now for free, more often than not we’ll choose the latter
These days games often allow you to individually change the difficulty which I make use quite often when I feel a game is becoming too much of a hassle than a joy and I still want to know how the story continues or see what might be coming.
I don’t think I have used a classic cheat in a long time. The last time I actively remember was The Sims 3 (I guess) and it kind of killed the game for me because suddenly everything was possible without any challenge and even a normal playthrough felt like I was missing something.

totally had the same experience! for me it was jazz jackrabbit 2. I totally still remember some of the cheat codes.
Years ago - I did cheat in many single player games. For example, I am extremely bad at RTS. Couldn’t beat computer on easy in WC3, even today. I was cheating during campaign just to go thought the story of the game.
I did cheat in WoW pirate server but not in the way of malice. I only did use flight cheat to travel quickly and a small teleport 1m ahead because sometimes quests or dungeons were broken and this was the only way to deal with that. I never used cheats in BGs or against other players but one of my friends did and got banned many times for that.
I have never cheated in any PvP games like CSGO, LoL, HOTS, L4D2, PUBG, COD, Town of Salem. I hate when cheaters ruin my game. I would not want to ruin anyone else’s game.
General rule: single-player cheats are ok. Multiplayer cheats - not ok.
Basically all of the experiments he was involved in were proven to be bias. They would coach the individuals when they were not getting the results they wanted.
I used to, back in the days of cheat codes, because they were fun.
The only real way to cheat now is to hack the game. This will mean doing shit loads of homework to learn how to do it myself, or pay for some dodgy software that may or may not contain a virus to download all my nudes and blackmail me for bitcoin while my account gets terminated for cheating so I could win a couple games on COD.
If you cheat in a single player game you do you. You can do whatever you want. If you do the same in a multiplayer online game: fuck you, you are ruining it for the rest of us.
Edit: To answer the question: No, I don’t cheat. Neither in single player nor in multiplayer games.
Looking up a guide isn’t cheating.
Would you consider using a mod to get infinite money in Warhammer Total War, thus bypassing the need to build production buildings and allowing you to focus entirely on military infrastructure and creating huge armies all over the map, therefore creating a global Wood Elf hegemony, which would otherwise be completely impossible cheating? So would I. But I’m doing it anyway because it’s fun and I paid for the game.
Glory to the Asrai.
