Did you ever cheated in games?

i played for first few years being a legit user then soon after i ended up in games where everyone was cheating when you look at it if you are not cheating in games then other people will be abusing cheats on you on games like GTA 5 & call of duty i know cheats are bad but if you have them along with protections over the ppl that abuse cheats then ur safe from them you dont have to cheat a game when you have cheats
