By cheating you affect two things :-

* People who knows you cheat would want the program you had. They will then 
distribute all around, eventually to people who will ruin other's game.

* If you cheat by duping things and in turn help others by giving them 
all-powerful tools, you caused the value of these powerful tools (armor, 
weapons etc..) to de-value. I've come across newbies who are so lazy that he 
can't bother to play the game but keep bugging people for special armor, 
weapons etc...

Anyway, there are always good and bad guys around. The fact that you do not 
ruin other's game does not mean your method of playing will cause other people 
not to have their games ruin as well. This is more so when the game is played 
over the net. If this is a single-player-only game, I suppose whether you 
cheat or not is not anyone's business.

Just my 2 cents.
