Yeah, I do sometimes play with cheat codes in my games, although in that situation it's purely for me and not affecting anyone else.I never play online, but I'm one of those cheaters. For me modifying the game and playing it again is half the fun, I enjoy tinkering with the code as much as I enjoy playing.
I don't just use cheat codes, I edit bits of the game code and change all sorts of things about the game to suit myself.Yeah, I do sometimes play with cheat codes in my games, although in that situation it's purely for me and not affecting anyone else.
My context here is non-funded gaming:Cheating is an age old problem and little to do with eGames specifically. No one likes to play with cheats.
But I think the game type can effect this too, and some games are more likely to attract cheats, and online, multiplayer actions games popular with younger age ranges are more likely to be victim.
But do you do that in multiplayer?I never play online, but I'm one of those cheaters. For me modifying the game and playing it again is half the fun, I enjoy tinkering with the code as much as I enjoy playing.
Not sure I'd agree with that, I've met 13 year olds more mature and grown up than many 25 year olds (and worse cases). I think it has much more to do with upbringing (environment) than age and genetics, which may be why it seems more prevalent in younger people. After all we now live in a culture that not only accepts, but actually worships successful cheaters. Most of us have made equally wrong decisions too (those who have voted or had some other equivalent influence). Being intelligent doesn't mean being rational.Integrity, honesty, and fair-mindedness, tend to be more developed in the fully mature brain.

And there is the power abuse.Cheating in competitive online games is low self esteem, narcissistic behaviour. Or it's a malicious intent to ruin other's fun. You learn a lot about human behaviour from online games!
