Idk but i've been thinking... almost all games prior to the gamecube/xbox/ps3 era have had in game cheats.

I do know that some ( like saints row, gta etc ) still do have them... but theres just a very small handfull.

I remember stuff like banjo kazooie, contra, sonic, and other old games that had codes in them! Like do a button combination and bam.. you got them.. or collect these or put in this code on the cheats menu in the game.

Now none have them... I like how Saints Row 2 you can unlock them buy actually beating the mini games etc.

Why do you think they stopped this?
Do you guys want it back?
I understand stuff like MW2 and other online dont need them.. but i like being able to input cheats when i want for fun.

Well what do you's think?
