Not really, because if they cheated, they didn't actually accomplish it.

They cheat to gain the prestige of having accomplished it.

This is incorrect. It is entirely possible to cheat and feel a sense of accomplishment.

- You can cheat to finish a game and still enjoy the fact that you finished the parts that you didn't need to cheat by.

- You can figure out how to cheat the game (ie, hex editing) yourself, and get a sense of accomplishment from that.

It is entirely possible to both cheat at a game and have a sense of accomplishment related to that game. Just because it isn't something _you_ would do, doesn't mean it isn't true for others.

Personally, I spent days mapping out the save file for Bard's Tale back in the day and manipulating it to my heart's content. It was fun, and I enjoyed it.

No. They still feel accomplished. It is self deception, but many people are good at double thing.

The sense of accomplishment comes from beating someone for many people. Cheats dont change that.

Or just to watch the world burn...
