No matter how I think about it, I just can't understand why anyone would waste time doing this

Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That's why.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I did that a couple of times, but it was more like "I don't want to grind all of this stuff, I want to skip to the fun part". Also, it's morally different because it impacts nobody else.

Oh yes, I did it. But back at the time you had to wait months to finally have the cheatcode published on some magazine. And you just cheat on yourself, not other players.

BTW, nice times... 😀

As someone who is ashamed to admit that I used to hack in StarCraft: Brood War when I was 12, this is the answer. It's fun.

Also I was absolute garbage at the game no matter how much I played, so I was trying to level the playing field a bit. Still got my ass handed to me over and over. Hacks can't replace skill.

Hacks can’t replace skill.

They absolutely can.
