> I told him that cheating is wrong and you're only cheating yourself of the satisfaction of a game well-played As a kid, cheating was often the only way I could actually play a game and enjoy it. It was cheating or not play at all. I used to play all kinds of games with printed walkthroughs. Later when I got more proficient I needed cheats less and less and berated myself of using them. Now as an adult I sometimes still "cheat", because it's not worth it cursing at the screen over and over for not finding that one solution to a puzzle. Or my kids get bored watching when I get stuck in a place for too long. So no, for me cheating is not wrong. Cheating in online competitive games, thats a different story though.
