You also gotta keep in mind most of the games posted on this site are by novice devs with little experience who are still experimenting and learning.Look I love a well paced story, I also dont hate putting a little effort in, but I'm not going to spend 6 hours grinding for a 16 second scene. saveeditonline.com can not be praised enough. I appreciate the effort devs put in to balance and pace, but sometimes they forget that I've got something to do at 8pm and its not giving gifts over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
This isn't Selebus' first game, but he was still a relatively inexperienced dev when he started making this.
Reducing grind through cheats/save editing can make unbearable games really good or make some good games really boring. It depends heavily on the game's design and personal preference of the person playing.
That being said, I also wanna point out that the post your quoting is from almost 2 years and around 30 large updates to the game ago. It's not too relevant to the way the game currently is. I also wanna point out that, despite that post saying I didn't think it was worth cheating at the time, I'm now the one maintaining the cheat code post linked from the first post.
