Been reflecting on that lately with all the games that are long, boring and grindy but then go "if you want to skip this dull slog then pay us $20 to buff your character. Player experience and choice!"

And I remember playing Populus which was a great game but if you ever did got bored or stuck just type in a cheat and murder everyone with 20 volcanoes

I cant think of one game I have played with a "pay money to cheat in the game" feature. I know they exist but i guess my taste is too good.

That's what made GTA fun in the first place. I can't seem to enjoy GTA without it.

Or just lucky cash shops haven't infiltrated anything you like yet. Though like Thanos, they're practically inevitable as companies try to wring every single penny out of you with their "live service" schemes.

I finished RE2 before they added that. It's clear the game isn't designed to suck and make you buy that because it didnt exist for 2 months

Cheat codes existed for debug. Now that debug and development is much more complicated and in depth, cheat codes aren't left in the game anymore.

Trophies and Achievements also killed cheat codes, I think most games actually disable getting either of them if it's not a "cheat" code that's not "unlocked" during regular game play.

Also the MediEvil remaster has a trophy for trying to input a cheat code from the original game >_>

Game shark? I remember game genie. Yeah they added great replay value to games or just extended a games life. After beating vice city I did use them. Either way, this is modern gaming, where developers want to suck your wallet for anything they can. Sucks, but it feels like the last real generation was the ps2 era.
