Right then, this is just a topic so I have an idea of who thinks cheats should win games at gameaday, I know there is not much we can do but I would be interested to find out who thinks what on this matter?

I believe that every cheat submitted is copied from somewhere else, whether it be a magazine or website, why if the information is copied should it win?

Let me know
Thanks

Yes... If the cheat section only included the cheats we had discovered ourselves... it wouldnt be very thick...

Besides, its kinda tough to figure out if a cheat has been copied of discovered... pressing left, left, circle, left, right, etc... is going to look the same from either a cut and paste or written by one of us...

Also copying reviews brings with it all sorts of nasty copyright issues'n'stuff...

When I fisrt started comming here, the GAD intro screen said that cheats were elligable for GAD win... I as a result had been entering loads of cheats before a month or two ago Tony said that cheats could win and stuff started to happen!... gutted!

This is a good point, and the only one that I think could make us question the cheats issue,

I won (and refused) a win because my topic was posted from another site without me realising (it was from an old email I had that I thought was funny).

However, cheats themselves are often released by the publishers, so a large majority are pasted.

Er...I just repeated this entire thread in one sentence didnt I?

Sorry, my face hurts

Yes, I help people, stay here 23/7 type replies and only try and win gad, well thanks a lot, I don't come here to win, I only type up about a topic per day, and I try to make the quality of that topic great, or if there is something I have heard in the office I will let you guys know... the principal of the matter is, is that if the cheats are copied, which they are should they win?
