Why do people want to cheat during games? - SarMa

* Many people prefer to play a game in an unfair way
* "The fact that these videos exist doesn't mean that people are keen on cheating, but fact that these videos are watched by millions people is strong proof of that."
* "So I ask myself why people want to cheat while playing the games? One of the answers which comes to my mind is that companies which are creating games, making them too hard and people can't pass it without cheats."
* "Is cheating on games something bad? The answer depends. It depends about what games we are talking. If we talk about offline games, I think that cheating is not something bad. Everyone can decide how do they want to play - in fair or unfair way."
* "By playing online with cheats you are distributing all other players who are playing fairly and making them angry. Moreover, almost all games online forbid using cheats and bans players for doing that, so using cheats online is illegal too."
* Cheats are also seen as a trend - you might as well be doing it as everyone else is

Forum - Do you Cheat?

* "I usually cheat once I make it through the game. The only games I've ever really cheated on though is Age of Empires and Age of Emipires II. Whenever I'm getting beat up by the computers that team up all the time I normally crack out the big daddys(cars with bazookas). Tis a fun thing to do."
* Most people stated that they would cheat once they had completed the game, as it would runi the story. Others said that they did not like cheated as they believed it was wrong, and would ruin it for themselves and others.
* One stated that they lost their skill after cheated as it would ruin their gameplay.
* "whats the point in getting stuck on a game and wasting lots of time trying to get past it or even not playing the game anymore....i know once i cant beat a part of a game i get bored and discard it so for me cheating is good and if there wasnt cheats i would have no need for games because i would never get full use of them. i still get enjoyment from the games when i cheat so who cares..the idea of a game is to have fun."
* "Everyone cheats, even though they say they dont I am 100% sure they did it once... "
* Nearly everyone on the site was against online cheating and had something to say to those people (mainly containing some rude words)
* "I made the massive mistake of cheating in counterstrike source , i was using a wall hack so i could see through walls , i got VAC banned and that was that"
