Codes are a personal thing. If *you* want to use the codes in your games
against the computer, why should *I* care? If you want to use them in a
game against *me*, that's another story. In WC2 you can just disable
codes (and if you're joining a game where they're enabled, you know what
can happen).

It makes *absolutely* no difference to me whether someone spends their
money on a game and then uses the codes to get through it in a couple of
days. Personally, I prefer getting through the game without the codes,
then using them to *experiment*. Try "it is a good day to die", "on
screen", "make it so", "hatchet", and "glittering prizes" (a few times)
in "alamo.pud". I just *love* the sudden burst of color on my screen :)

IMO, calling someone a lame-o (or worse) because they want to use the
codes is just plain *stupid*, it's their money and it doesn't affect you
one bit. Maybe those people who put it upon themselves to rid the world
of code-users should try boosting their ego in a different way.
