There are thousands of websites that have cheat codes for levels and various unlocks on all types of games. A gamer doesn't have to endure the process of the game, instead they can access all the parts of the games that others would work for hours to get to.
Computer games are full of challenges and are often very long winded. From the ones that I have experienced, I have completely very few of them. The temptatation to cheat to access the next level is always at the back of my mind whenever I play one. The problem with games being so long winded is that it can get boring. If you fail a challenge or a level you have to go back and do it again and as the game gets considerably harder you end up repeating them more often. Therefore, a cheat is an easy option.
However, there are other ways that you can cheat instead of just simply getting codes. For example aimbots allow the player to have an advantage over others when shooting. They do not need to target because the bot will just do it for them, the user simply just has to press the 'fire' button. Although it's not the same as gainig codes to complete levels it is still a cheat that majorly affects the game.
Instead of playing the game as the manufacturer intended, you are playing the game with your own rules when you cheat. The purpose of the games are the challenges and by overriding them with the cheats you are defeating the object of having th game in the first place.
Apart from the reason that games get boring, I think that people use cheats to get ahead in games and be better than others who play it. League tables and acheivements are something that are publicised with things such as Xbox Live and the Playstation Network.
Personally I would rather accept the challenges that the game designers have given me rather than override their hard work with a code that will instantly get me past a level.
