Comment on Microsoft claims: Steam Deck Did Not Need Call Of Duty To Succeed
timi@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe way people who cheat talk about input modifier devices leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I can understand why a driver level system was considered.
Cheaters in online games really are the worst type of people because they feel entitled to ruin other peoples games. It’s one thing to “level up” your solo experience. It’s a different thing to intend to ruin someone else’s.

Even if we pretended it was possible for their anticheat to work (it isn't), it's pure unredeemable evil to think it's possible for there to be a scenario you're entitled to that access.
If 50 percent of players were cheaters with that access and literally no one ever cheated again with it, you would be a monster to consider using it. It should be a criminal offense with mandatory jail time to the CEO and board of directors for every single computer it's installed on.

If you don't have people cheating with your malware installed (which you don't actually have evidence for), the literal only possible explanation of that is that no one cares enough to cheat properly.
Using a video camera pointed at the screen to control a mouse and keyboard that are exactly identical in every way to a real mouse and keyboard is not hard to do and no level of rootkit can ever under any circumstance detect it. It's literally unconditionally impossible for their malware to detect any mildly sophisticated cheater.

Reminds me of Sony’s Rootkit. Except now it’s normal.
