Mmmm, how exactly does playing a game one payed for the way one wants to,
qualify one as an "ignorant pussy"? 

Using cheats in multiplayer games is unfair and despisable. Using them in
Single Player is not. We should not play the games the way the makers want
them played. We should play them the way WE want to play them. Hell, we
should have game maker MAKE games the way we want them made: the client is
the boss, not the servant.

I can give my money to the maker of a game. I see it fair, because it's a
product I want to use. What I am not going to give them is my will... do
you?

I usually find that cheating in SP is unfullfilling, because you end up
taking the fun out of the game... but that's just me.
