I don’t find shame in cheating in video games. It was a stigma to hear about growing up, that cheating in video games meant you prefer the shortcuts in life or that you didn’t know what earning anything was. When, that was all just bullshit talk.

I cheat in video games, when available to on some games, to give me a little kick of fun. Sometimes I don’t have the patience to tediously go through the standard way. Other times, I feel I’ve earned it anyways, because of having undergone the stresses and frustrations or the time I’ve played of certain games to go through the normal way.

Like in Terraria, it’s a game I’ve clocked in upwards of 900 hours. I felt like I had done everything in the game prior to the content that added the Moon Lord and many other things. At that time, it was 850 hours.

So the point of the matter is, yeah I don’t find it that big of a deal to cheat in video games. If I cared to and want to, I’m decent enough to handle games without cheats, given enough time.

Multiplayer of course I never cheat in those.

    I never play PvP (skill issue).

    I will always cheat, but only by making the mods myself. I often find that I learn more about the game and have more fun modding than actually playing. For PvE, I make sure that everyone is aware of my mods and OK with them, or I turn off the mods they don’t like.

    I am not OK with ruining other peoples fun. I’ve even permanently deleted a mod which could cause issues in the wrong hands, because my hands were definitely the wrong hands. I’m still sad, but everyone else in that game is better off.

    Everyone has fun in their own way. If a game is not fun for you, sometimes the right mods or cheats can make it fun. If no one else is harmed, then you’re playing it right.
