It strongly depends on the game and the definition of cheating. I do mod a lot of games, and some mods make them easier/give me advantages so that can be seen as cheating. If a game has MTX I always cheat myself everything I can buy, either the premium currency or the items directly. You might be rich enough to buy your way to success, I’m smart enough to do the same thing without spending a dime. Other than that, I may use a cheat or two if I get to a point in a game that frustrates me, be it because of difficulty or grind. I do enjoy an occational challenge and I have quite a tolerance for grind, but both have a limit and once it is reached, I prefer to just skip ahead and continue from there.

One thing I loved to do was counter-cheating in multiplayer games. I had my cheating setup ready but disabled and play the game normally until I met another cheater, then I started everything and showed him how its done until he gave up and left. Good times. But once my interests shifted more and more away from multiplayer pvp I eventually also stopped doing that.
