Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Message Board  

Couldn't agree more. I've been a member for almost 6 years now and I have never regretted it. I don't really play a wide variety of games, I have certain genres that I like, but the amount of games that this site has trainers for is absolutely remarkable! Plus, their service is really second to none. It seems like most of the games released nowadays is still in beta and we consumers are left having to download update after update. I don't know how many people CH has on staff, but to keep this many games updated as quickly as they do as well as having trainers ready for new games almost as soon as they are released, well, as far as a business goes, Cheat Happens has got to be the most efficient business out there. That's why I get irritated with people who get so extremely upset if there isn't a trainer ready as soon as they're done updating it, or, even worse, if they're mad that their trainer doesn't work with their stolen games. I'd like to see this business model applied to the game developers themselves, or even the US government, or at the very least the work ethic! Something might actually get accomplished!! And even crazier is that they have trainers for console versions of these games! There's no other site like this on the Internet. If you like to cheat your games, you can't go wrong with a membership to Cheat Happens!!

Years later this thread suddenly has another post. The reason why I disagreed with and still disagree with the business model is the fact that you are paying a ludicrous amount of money just to have access to cheats. Sure there may be some work put into the trainers and such but there are trainers of equal quality out there that people put out for free as a kindness to the community. As well as the fact that you are paying for a CoSMOS hex edit collection essentially. Now I do understand why people pay for this as they desperately want to get the latest trainer for the latest game as sometimes people don't update their trainers for later versions or steam versions of the game. But the price of $100 just to access cheats is crazy. You may say "But you can do $69 or $20 for other amounts of time" Well yes but it is built in a way so that you get suckered into the lifetime deal as if you do $20 a month it ends up being a terrible deal, same with the second tier one. So they then sucker you into just flat out sending $100 to their bank account just for cheats of all things. Maybe $20 lifetime or something would be more reasonable as yet again it's just for CoSMOS hex codes.
