Posts from Cheats Codes

since a work of art is inanimate, it doesn't care what happens to it.

You're wrong here. For me personally, games are a genuine art form, just like movies or literature. We should appreciate and respect games, and using cheats is like raping a game.

Excellent wording! Brilliant! I fully agree.

P.S. I have never used cheats, codes, etc. I don't respect that.

Oh, I was 100,000% sure there would be an example about the Mona Lisa.
:-) :-)
No, if he buys a copy of the portrait (a reproduction) for his home, he can draw horns on it! :-)

I'll stick to my opinion: a game is a way to pass the time, and it can also be a work of art.

Oh, you've had your say... but who are you trying to impress? If you don't like cheats, don't use them. But don't judge others either. In online games, it's forbidden, yes. But otherwise...

He's a punk. He doesn't like Leonardo :-) Da Vinci doesn't have to be liked by everyone.
If the punk got moral satisfaction and no one was harmed, what's the problem?
P.S. This is not spam or off-topic; it's a veiled discussion of cheats.

In principle, this can be called art, albeit incomplete, like painting or music, but still!!!

Well, if a man says "we need to cheat," I can't stay silent. I'll go yell on the balcony.

He's a pervert! You say no one was harmed? What about Mona Lisa? Or, since it's an inanimate object, can you do whatever you want with it? And what about Leonardo's fans? They won't be happy about this! I don't agree with this approach.

What if it were a woman?

There is some truth to that. Some people are even encouraging the use of cheats. And fans are really annoyed when others treat the game like this, even if it's just at their own home. After all, unlike the Mona Lisa, the game doesn't have reproductions, and each disc is an original.

Here, I found an example that fits:
You spend the whole day playing, studying the world, the mechanics, yourself, and finding ways to achieve victory. Then, someone comes along and starts playing. Without thinking, they enter cheat codes and just brutally defeats everyone. And indeed: why bother when there are CHEATS?
