Someone said that cheat codes were never made for gamers? Let's remember the first game where a cheat code appeared... many, many years ago, a developer thought that his game was too difficult to complete and therefore created the First Cheat, which consisted of movement keys and gave 20 lives and a full set of bonuses. Who did he create it for? For himself? For journalists? No, he created it because his game was too difficult (well, or he thought so). Besides, the cheat was created for gamers. Since then, almost no game has been without cheat codes. Currently, there are no cheat codes only in Tetris, simple arcade games, and logic games.
From this wonderful story, we can assume that cheat codes were originally created to simplify the gameplay and are used by cheaters on a legitimate basis, and those who can complete particularly difficult missions at the veteran level without codes should be proud of themselves, because they did it themselves, without making the game easier. And in general, cheaters and honest players are like a general and a president: both are in charge, but in different areas. Therefore, I believe that cheaters should cheat and hack the game, without promoting cheating, and honest fanatics should quietly play, regardless of how many times they complete a mission, using a cheat if necessary (just as a hardcore cheater can also play honestly) and without forbidding cheating.
