Most of us are just trying to get more out of our investment, instead of feeling ripped off from lack of extras in the game.
"decompiling the code" is hardly required to use addons like new skins, all you have to do is load up a hex on the memory segments and use injection based methods to modify the running memory.
"hackers" is not the term to use either, but thats a whole new debate. Companies just use this term to make the people seem bad and to use the stigmata surrounding that generalization.
Thoughts?
