If you think about it, I bet what you actually hate are the folks who just downloaded the cheat and used it, without knowing anything about it. But what if everyone wrote their own exploit? Eventually every game would devolve into Core Wars, but this would be kind of cool.
If everyone did write their own exploit, I'd still have hated it. Cheating in those kind of games really does ruin the game for everyone else. Enabling those people to do what they did was nearly as bad IMO.
