Who ever thought of this?? "Cheats are copyright infringement" is such a stupid sentence.. Not to forget the base line: if it's not in a competitive environment, what the hell do they care if someone wants to play an easier Elden Ring, or skip the 'grind 100 hours for this materials' part??
People who forget history I guess
I remember when a friend of mine got that and showed it to me and I thought it sucked because it made the games too easy, but never in my life would I have thought anyone was infringing copyright by using it.
Publishers who want to sell you single player progress by making in game progress unfun and slow
Assassins Creed Valhalla comes to mind
Idk how cheats still work but when I was a kid, I used a tool called cheat engine.
I used it a bit for FTL, but soon got bored.
