I'm not sure whether this one was already polled, but if not:

8. In-game cheats:
a) I never use them, rarely check if they even exist.
b) Cheats are fun! I use them for having fun after completing a game without them.
c) Cheats are a nice bonus. Sometimes I use them to beat harder parts of the game.
d) I use them as any other element of a game. Some of them just help to finish a game faster.
e) It happens that I enable cheats on the very beginning of a game and leave them on.

Again, very interesting question.

I used to cheat back when I was a kid (OK: teen). But I quickly realized that doing so to finish the game quickly I'm losing something important. So I stopped.

Nowadays I only resort to using cheat codes when I don't have savegames handy and I need to complete review or submit screenshots. Let's face it: built-in cheats were a tool for beta testers and reviewers.
