The Pros And Cons Of Using Multiplayer PC Game Cheats

Cheating is an art as old games themselves and offers a variety of ways to change the dynamics of the game in your favor. But is this ever really a good thing? Other than improving your skills of creativity, cheating takes the challenge and thrills of winning right out of the equation – and can invite the contempt of your fellow players.

But, if it is a bad thing to cheat, why is it that so many of the very best games come with an option to cheat? In the following article, we will take a look at some of the major considerations that any good gamer will consider when choosing to make things a bit easier with PC game cheats.

1. Will it make the game more fun?

The first question to ask yourself is if the intrinsic value of playing the game will improve? Games are supposed to be fun, and if you can cheat and still enjoy the game consequence-free, then there is no reason to not whip out an unfair advantage and clobber your foes with god-like powers. After all, this is not a professional game or anything.

2. Does cheating change the dynamics of the game?

Another good reason to access the cheats at your disposal is when learning more about complex aspects of the game and fine-tuning specific skills in your gaming arsenal. For example, if you were practicing your Street Fighter skills against Chun-Li on the hardest difficulty, you may want to drop her damage multiplier down really low so you can stay in the game long enough to make the practice worth it. Likewise, cheating can be a good way to counterbalance a competition against very difficult opponents.

3. Sometimes, it is the only way to level the playing field

Some games have already given their AIs an unfair advantage and the capacity to do things that human players simply can’t do. When you are playing racing games where opponents can teleport through tough turns and make a bunch of other maneuvers that would be impossible for a human, there is really no impetus to play fair.

4. Will you improve your gaming skills?

Of course, the major drawback to PC game cheats is they rob you of the chance to improve your skills. When you use save states, emulators, hacks and codes, you ultimately take the challenge out of the game and this means you will not bet any better or faster at thinking inside the box.

5. Cheating Against Humans?

The PC game world has a very liberal mind when it comes to cheating against the AI. But, when it comes to seeking out unfair advantages against other humans who have tried and improved their skills, cheaters have given themselves a bad name. In the E-sports realm, cheaters are given the same treatment professional athletes would be given for using performance-enhancing drugs. These caught cheating and hacking games for the benefit of one side can find their team associates and players banned from the sporting realm.
