Consoles, actually. I play on every system and on consoles (where there is no command console and very limited mod access) most games now have micro transactions despite being single player. It’s very common to hack those games to get the premium stuff and it’s called using cheat codes.
Phone games get hacked all the time too, but they have from the beginning and honestly I don’t see that ever changing. But I also don’t view mobile gaming as being on the same level as console or PC.

Except nobody is saying people never hack things to get access to premium stuff. I'm saying that playing hacked versions of the game with infinite resources and whatnot is also hacking and can be benign

You can call it whatever you like, but it doesn't change that it's the same thing, simply used for different reasons

And this is where word choice comes into play. Hacked means a specific thing and you’re using it to mean three very different things. Yes, there’s a difference between hacking, modding, and using console commands. And the use of cheat codes literally means hacking. It doesn’t mean modding, it doesn’t mean using console commands.
So no, you don’t agree with me. Because there is nothing wrong with console commands. There is nothing wrong with mods. There is something wrong with hacking. And if OP meant cheat codes as shorthand for hacking, which seems most likely because the original form of cheat codes doesn’t exist anymore, then I disagree with them.

NAYRT

I've mostly seen hacking used in a multiplayer context, where it refers to getting an unfair advantage in the game by making it do something it’s not supposed to. Cast your eyes over this vintage meme for an example: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/001/727/wtf_hax.jpg
You're the first person I've seen claim hacking means only avoiding paying for things.

On the subject of that sort of hacking, though, microtransactions are often on shaky moral ground to begin with, so I can’t be too mad at people who bypass them, even if I personally just pretend the stuff I'm supposed to pay more for doesn't exist.
