| Topic | GTA cheat codes... where were they published? How did they become known? |

Damn that took me down a crazy rabbit hole of history, if the GTA codes were literally just discovered like that... what was the developers' intention with them, if they didn't intend to release them? Messing around in the GTA world with the cheat codes is basically one of the more iconic components of the series, crazy to think it wasn't intentional. Cheat codes back in the day were used internally at game companies to help test games faster for bugs and to help stretch the limits and possibilities of what would happen in a game so they could determine if the regular game was even going to break or not. It's this crazy old thing we called quality control because back then, you couldn't patch a game. If you shipped it broken, it stayed broken and the only way to "fix" it was to correct future copies of the game...and that usually didn't fly well to make a customer buy something twice. --- Number of Mega Cookies given: (::::) 35 *Tips top hat, adjusts monocle, and walks away with a cane.* And yes, that IS Mr. Peanut laying unconscious on the curb ...
