Is it your position that cheaters are inevitable and publishers should not do anything to prevent them from cheating?

My position is that community moderated servers are significantly more effective at controlling cheaters than any intrusive anti-cheat has ever been, and that the rise in intrusive anti-cheat coinciding with the death of community and self hosted servers is not a coincidence.

My position is that cheaters, spammers and griefers when they are relatively equally distributed in all popular competitive games are not actually a threat to the business model of massive corporations like EA, rather they are actually a great business opportunity to rationalize taking more and more control away from customers so long as they are loosely managed from getting entirely out of control.

When cheating is happening across most competitive multiplayer games what does it really matter to EA?
I mean, other than making people not want to buy/play their games?

Beauty of a position you have there.

I agree. I think it’s the actual sense of community that you need. It’s the reason I can play rec sports or the pub quiz and it’s not constantly ruined by assholes.
You can’t have a sense of community with hundreds of thousands of people in the same queue to play a game.
