Odd take.

I can't think of a single thing that used to be a cheat code that is now a microtransaction.

Want easy mode? It's now a menu. Infinite lives are the default. Immortality modes and slow motion aiming are often under accessibility options.

None of these can be purchased.

Old games had cheats because they were hard as nails, and a game where you can't get past the second level wasn't going to hold a kid's interest for long.
