How many of you think that cheats should be put in games? Alot of developers do it, even though it can ruin enjoyment of a game. Nintendo NEVER put cheats in their games, thats a fact, and I respect them for that and wouldn't want to cheat anyway. I have never cheated in a game but the cheats are there, so some people must do.
So what do you think? Should developers keep putting button-codes in games or is it time for a change?

GoldenEye
> and Perfect Dark did it best, where you actually earn the cheats.
Exactly - it took a year and months b4 anyone got a hold of these cheats! my my it was a revelation
However, when cheats are used to give you more variation in a game, have comical effect or prolong games then they are definately a good thing. The addition of the cheats menu in Goldeneye was ingenius. Not only did each cheat add some dimension to the game, but just getting the cheats required lots of replay... which was never a chore!
