So you'd say that since the Mario 64 speedruns that use glitches don't beat the game the 'intended way', that they aren't really legitimately beating the game? And on the other hand, a game like Far Cry 4. You can beat the game by doing almost nothing. A way the developers actually intended a means of victory. You even see the credits! I believe the way speedrunners or people exploiting glitches for world record scores are concerned, if it's in the game and you aren't using any cheats or save states to accomplish it, then it's fine. I think its also an important note that almost all discussion in this realm really comes down to arcade games, platformers, action games and similar things.
