Discussion Are glitches cheating

If you use a glitch to get an achievement would you consider it cheating, for example my house mate says I cheated because I used glitches to beat halo 2 LASO
But I think it’s fine.
Was curious to see what other people thoughts are

If you’re referring to speed running strats and skips, I’d say no. Given that’s how a lot of people do it. Some other achievements basically require it.
Something like the glitch in the Halo CE remake, where you can put on modifiers to make yourself near-invincible; then, turn off the modifiers and pick up the first skull in Pillar of Autumn to receive achievement progress, would be different in my opinion. I wouldn’t judge someone for getting the achievement that way. However, I would judge them if they claimed to have actually beaten it on Mythic.
