Comment Cheats and mods (Score 5, Interesting) 287

I cannot believe that the mod community hasn't been brought up. There are some games (namely id-based games) that have extremely long lives because of the mod community.

People make new maps, player models, enemies, etc. to create new experiences within the game. Without cheat codes, level creation would be near impossible.

Game developers use cheat codes to debug and test the gameplay. If they took the cheats out before release, there would be no mods for the game and the lifespan would be much shorter.
