    I don’t get why all these game companies are suddenly so worried about cheats (and in Capcom’s case, mods) for games that aren’t even multiplayer. I’m old enough to remember when it was common that cheat codes were left in as little extras for the player, and I always thought they added a lot of replay value to the games that had them. I would have played 10,000% less Tomb Raider / GTA / etc without the cheat codes. I bought the damn game to have fun, let me have fun with it!

      As a kid, I wouldn’t even have bothered with the Sims without cheat codes. And I still wish I’d figured out how to use them in Sim City 3000 - the cities I could have built!

      DRM of the always online variety means the game some day stops working, requiring you to buy the remake or remaster
