I've been musing about this recently.
If a game company puts in a cheat code, allowing you to do certain things "easier" (or make the game funnier, like Big Head mode or whatever), is that really cheating? Or have you just found a cool trick?
Now I'd say going outside the parameters of the game to alter it (using an action replay, for instance) is "cheating".
I mean it's a bit semantical but...I don't know. Give me your thoughts, b8.
