Bullshit. ‘Cheats’ like wall clipping used to make the games feel like actual fun.

Anyone saying otherwise shouldn’t be allowed to write software.




Cheats are fine and fun in single-player games. Not in online multiplayer experiences, and certainly not flooding every single server.


In multiplayer, cheats are literal plague that kill the entire experience for everyone, including the cheater. Social gaming is based around mutual understanding. If the understanding is that we play by the rules, then a cheater is going against that understanding, thereby ruining the mutual-ness.
