Gamerscore and Trophies are prolly a huge factor as in why cheats are used less. Never really cared for cheats though unless they were in a GTA game and that was just when i would mess around a bit.

Agreed. If GTA games didn't have cheats I wouldn't have played them as much.

I used to use cheats after I beat a game, they were good for replay value.

5 - so true
I remember when every game had cheats that increased game replay. NBA jam, MK3 (consoles), Goldeneye, turok ect. I think it's because maybe making games has become much less fun so developers just don't put the love into games like once upon the time. But one of the big ones is perhaps with how complicated gaming has become to program for it just takes too much work.

Conduit has cheats tho... quite conveniently. That's how casual inclusion should be done. Just make the game ridiculously easy as a switch hidden in the game.
