Hi,
We'll never have cheat free games now. The military will develop (or contract for the development) all the cheat busting software and make it all classified. Companies like Buzzard who try to use it (as if Buzzard would :) ) will be arrested en masse and locked away forever for breaching national security. People will silk screen the code onto their T shirts and walk around proudly proclaiming "this T shirt is a weapon". The carrying of any form of electronic, optical, magneto, or even paper storage media will be banned from all flights (international because you might be trying to smuggle secrets out of the country and national because you might hijack the plane to smuggle secrets out of the country). This will add so much time at the security check points that people will stop flying, it being faster to drive, bike, walk, or even take a train. The lack of air transport will cause the economy to collapse and this quadrant of the universe will fall into a depression. Public works overseen by Vogons will be attempted in a TVA like effort, but given the Vogon character, they will fail and this will become the intergalactic landfill.
Or maybe not.
BTW, what's the materiel cost of a small joint NATO exercise? ;)
