That statement is really shows how big of a dick you are, like come on man, it's just a game. Without learning game cheats and writing trojans and botnets since 14, although I'm kind of clean now, I wouldn't have mastered C++, C# and Java together and later get deep into computer science (and cybersecurity to some extent).

I disagree. Cheating in singleplayer games is fine, but you're ruining the experience of others when hacking in multiplayer games.

What I meant was, cheating can be a good learning experience to programming for a lot of kids, because they get immediate feedback and rewards. At least that's what I see it as.

By breaking the agreed-upon rules you gain resources and others lose resources (energy, morale, money, w/e). That the activity impacts the cheater in other ways is beside the point if its a dick move or not.

Ah, isn't that something politicians and countries around the world always do? And you think game cheating is a bigger problem?
