Same applies to "pay to win" games, yet they make a ton of money.

Cheating is definitely its own kind of fun though - I remember cheating in single player games using something like a Game Genie back in the day. It's fun because you feel like you're "getting one over" on the game. In multiplayer it's a plague, but some people (mostly kids/teens, I hope) seem to be very amused by the angry reactions they get.
