I'm curious why CheatHappens employees don't also include reviews of games with a cheating perspective. There's the cheat index, but you have folks spending time getting to know games to know what cheats will be relevant, and then you allow us to influence that relevancy and causes employees to dig deeper into a game.

When I come to Cheat Happens, I usually have a game in mind to get a trainer for, but still check the new trainers, since some of the options actually make me want to get games.

Including reviews, if other people respond to them as I do to new trainers with cheat options that make me think I might enjoy a game, could give Cheat Happens additional influence in the video game industry while, at the same time, allowing y'all to potentially get games sponsoring your reviews and trainers as developers become more aware of the cheating underground that is typically intimidated into silence on most video game boards.

I have never read a review that goes along the lines of, "xyz is an awesome game mechanic that adds a lot to the progression of your character, but the zyx mechanic really slowed down my ability to progress the story. When I enabled the 'zyx' cheat, though, I could get around the annoying zyx mechanic which really helped me enjoy the game."

That kind of information, or even better, a more balanced version that says things along the lines of, "People who are frustrated with having to do a stunt in your wingsuit that requires lots of tries to perfect can enable the unlimited mission time cheat in our Just Cause 4 trainer to stick to the story and ignore the obnoxious youtube-inspired milestones the game forces you to do." would have be buying far more games than I'd be comfortable with while at the same time, as I mentioned, giving Cheat Happens influence over future games, allowing you to give those of us who aren't good at or don't enjoy certain game mechanics the ability to remove them from the game.

Review! Or hire a technical writer who works with your developers to review games with a cheat trainer perspective. It's a surprisingly empty market that I know I, at least, would be very drawn to.

You are so new and uncultured that iam not gonna even discuss this with you.

We did this exact thing for several years but at the end of the day no one read them so we just stopped spending money on a full time employee to write them.

Ah those was the days.

Yep, wonder how Joe's doing...?
