people keep mixing up cheating and hacking.
hacking is ethical. i hack all the time, i download games and sit through source code, game code and sit through decompilers just to see how a game is made(ex. one of the games ive played, the connection was client --- does action:---> updated action on client;halt ---> wait for server to approve: this style has no delay but extremely unsmooth when some client actions were denied thus time rerolling you back to the unit time. video example: / in contrast to game 2 which has some delay but extremely smooth actions. process is: client ---> send request to server --- server accepts request ----> action updated on client).
hacking does absolutely no harm to anyone nor the creator.
cheating is extremely different. cheating is gaining advantages on a competitive level that affects real world players.
(People who think pirating is unethical are the same ones who think hacking is unethical)
