PSA: Video Games don't cheat

True. But 99.9% of the time they do, because lazy idiotic game developers decide that OMGUBERSM3.0SHADOWSLOLOLOL is more important than fun and stability.
 
they cheat to make it more fun... in theory

until you get up to the really really hard levels than it'll just piss you right off
 
Some do. For example, the Warcraft 3 AI was so good that it was impossible to win against it. It was good because it cheated (ie it had no Fog of War for instance). They toned it down before shipping.

yup. whenever you are first place, 2nd and 3rd place magically gets unlimited red turtle shells? Also, I used to always wait for 2nd place person to pass me near the finish, and then attack them with a turtle to bring the points down. Most of the time all other players slow down so that the 2nd place person gets the most points possible. if that's not cheating, i don't know what is.
 
Yes, they 100% do cheat, so long as you define cheat as 'are normally given abilities and bonuses that the player does not have access to / would have to use cheat codes to get"
 
Many games cheat. In racing games, it is called Rubberband AI. Also, numerous sports games have bad things happen to you at a much higher percentage when you get too far ahead.

Pretty much any RTS game cheats. You're stuck with handling multiple units all over the place, moving them around, building secondary bases, fending off attacks on multiple fronts, etc. The computer can easily multi-task all of its units simultaneously.
