I'd say that most people wouldn't consider paying for more lives cheating. But that editing the communication between the game and the client is.

It would be like playing an arcade game. Putting in quarters for more lives isn't cheating. Creating a device that you can put in the quarter slot and pull out to reuse that triggers the game to think it's just got a quarter is.

It's curious.
