the terminology "cheats" in this case is misleading, they are hacks
people keep saying "well, why can't I cheat in single player", because there is no purpose of cheating on single player, other than to accumulate achievement points, which are reflected in a users online rating
if you want to play with infinite money, make a map and give yourself infinite money, this is about altering game code in order to produce an unintended application result. the fact that people are getting caught is because the hacks are observable from the Blizzard servers, and it's not because they are monitoring the game runtime, it's because people are completing the game, and getting every achievement in 5 minutes
please explain to me why that should be protected?
