    No matter how I think about it, I just can’t understand why anyone would waste time doing this

      Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That’s why.

        I did that a couple of times, but it was more like “I don’t want to grind all of this stuff, I want to skip to the fun part”. Also, it’s morally different because it impacts nobody else.

        As someone who is ashamed to admit that I used to hack in StarCraft: Brood War when I was 12, this is the answer. It’s fun.

        Also I was absolute garbage at the game no matter how much I played, so I was trying to level the playing field a bit. Still got my ass handed to me over and over. Hacks can’t replace skill.

      I hacked Zelda to because I’m not great at games but enjoy the story and I can progress the game at a reasonable pace without being overly frustrated. Also it doesn’t affect anyone else so it makes it ok.

        Single-player games are a whole different thing. People should be able to play single-player in whatever way they prefer as it doesn’t impact anybody but themselves. Some games even come with “story-mode” difficulties and such for people just looking to enjoy the story and not looking for a challenge and that’s fine. Games used to come with cheat codes for the same purpose (well, for testing purposes initially but eventually for “play it whatever way you want”).

        I made like 20 of my own amibos and used them with fast forwarding time on my switch to enjoy botw. I’m just shit at games and it made for a more fun experience.
