After all, I do not research the opinion (poll) of Gamers / Players about using Cheats...

I can express my reasons and also other reasons why many Gamers / Players have used Cheats (at least from my point of view):

• Doing something repetitive such as raising your Character Level or Skills can be very boring! I like to do Aerobic Physical Exercises (Running, Jogging, Spinning), because they relax me and cause euphoria or happiness. On the other hand, Anaerobic Physical Exercises seem so boring... *yawn* Johnny Bravo!?
• Unfortunately, many adult people do not have a lot of free time to play games. And while playing games in the rare moments of their free time to do something repetitive such as raising their Character Level and / or Skills would be very discouraging, right? Imagine me practicing Physical Exercise at the Gym (Fitness Club) without TV, Music! The Environment would be certainly very barren, arid and dull there!
• Perhaps many adult people may be interested only in one or more Aspects of the game, but not necessarily the Whole game. I like Story, Characters, Music, Moments of Action, Cut-Scenes, etc., but I dislike Scenes of Pursuit, Escape, Driving Vehicles, Scenes in which there is “Timer”, etc. in which any mistake could ruin everything! Retry? I can enjoy just Part of a Movie and skip some Scenes, right?
• I personally just want to have fun, without too many Complications, Stress, Adrenaline when I want to play games during my Moments of Recreation. Complications, Stress, Adrenaline, etc., all those I leave them to real life in our Daily Responsibilities as People, Employees, Family, Citizens, etc. Now, playing games during the Moments of Leisure, I want to be really free without any complications. After all, our life as an adult is already complicated. Why bring more complications in our Recreation Moments? I leave it to the Professional Gamers (there are many on YouTube and Tournaments!) who live and make money playing games, but that is certainly not for me.
• Etc.

My Previous Post

I was thinking and analyzing my own behavior (analytical self-criticism).

I believe that since I had a very complicated, turbulent, traumatic family background from Childhood to Adulthood until very recent years dealing with all possible complications in Personal Family Relationships in real life (fights, divorces, separations, illnesses, deaths, etc.), I think that (and maybe my brother too) I (we) am (are) demanding that in my (our) leisure moments that the stressful situations and complications are minor where possible, whether using Cheat Codes, Trainers, Save Game Editors, Walkthroughs, etc.

I do not know if the other Gamers / Players who regularly use Cheats in their most varied forms and ways have also had this traumatic past. Or the reasons for them could be the ones I listed in the previous post above or any other reason that I am not aware of.

In short: I have been through many difficulties in real life and will not admit that I go through Stress, Boredom, etc. also in my moments of leisure and recreation. I had enough of them (Stress, etc.) in real life and just wanted fun in the digital life. After all, everything has limits and I deserve a rest in my moments of fun.

Maybe it is for the reasons quoted above that I definitely do not really appreciate the Drama and Horror movies because I had enough of them (Stress, etc.) in my real life. It is not that I cannot watch them, but if it were possible, I would rather refrain from watching such movie genres.
