That’s a really interesting take, and I think it makes a lot of sense to separate "in-game cheats" from malicious third-party stuff. When devs leave tools or cheats in a game, like god mode, noclip, or debug menus , they’re kind of inviting players to experiment, especially in single-player games. It’s part of the fun for some people!



And even with external tools, I think context matters. For example, [tarkov cheats](https://cobracheats.com/escape-from-tarkov-hacks-cheats-eft-wallhack/ ) are obviously controversial in PvP, but some people use them offline or in low-stakes environments just to explore, learn maps, or get past an area they’ve been stuck in for weeks. Not everyone’s trying to ruin the game— - sometimes it’s just about making a frustrating experience a bit more playable or even practicing before jumping into the real deal.
