    No matter how I think about it, I just can’t understand why anyone would waste time doing this

      I hacked Zelda to because I’m not great at games but enjoy the story and I can progress the game at a reasonable pace without being overly frustrated. Also it doesn’t affect anyone else so it makes it ok.

        I made like 20 of my own amibos and used them with fast forwarding time on my switch to enjoy botw. I’m just shit at games and it made for a more fun experience.

        Single-player games are a whole different thing. People should be able to play single-player in whatever way they prefer as it doesn’t impact anybody but themselves. Some games even come with “story-mode” difficulties and such for people just looking to enjoy the story and not looking for a challenge and that’s fine. Games used to come with cheat codes for the same purpose (well, for testing purposes initially but eventually for “play it whatever way you want”).

      Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That’s why.

        As someone who is ashamed to admit that I used to hack in StarCraft: Brood War when I was 12, this is the answer. It’s fun.

        Also I was absolute garbage at the game no matter how much I played, so I was trying to level the playing field a bit. Still got my ass handed to me over and over. Hacks can’t replace skill.
