The question was "how many guides are created by video game production companies", not "how many guides are licensed out by video game publishers". You failed to answer the question.
The part that is incoherent is where you seem to be confused as to what constitutes cheating. The fact that you can operate outside the normal rules and knowledge base of a game is in itself cheating. Metaknowledge operates outside of the knowledge provided to you in the context of the game, ergo it is cheating.
I don't know why you think the desires of the developer has anything to do with publishing.
Or why you think clerks in Gamestop have anything to do with whether or not it's cheating.
"We can buy it, so it isn't cheating" is a very weak argument.
