The economies of scale actually favour the game makers. People build cheats for profit, every person that buys a cheat is also buying the game (and rebuying) the cheat makers are in competition, and further the number of people that cheat is generally a lot smaller than the game playing population.

As long as companies can keep cheating at a tolerable level for their audience they win as do a small number of cheat makers able to make a living in the space.
