What do these people think they gain?

Whats the point?

Do they really just want to ruin stuff for everyone?

I hate cheating in general, however I do have a personal carve out…

Some single player games, like (yes I’m old) doom — I almost always play with a full load out IDDFA No one should be dropping a Space Marine with out full weapons and ammunition and armor.

But that’s it.

Anything else, the point is to learn and find all the stuff the designers want to to discover

Because they're online? Not everyone is playing the same game. There's the same cheating in offline games too, but that's not as visible.
