Any competitive game with big money on the line has the top players gather in the same room (on a stage most likely), and play using computers controlled by the event organizers. The players winning these big tournaments do not cheat.
- ronald_dregan 7y agothere used to be a way to embed cheats within your steam profile directly (abusing some other feature to do so) and it'd activate on login. some guy got caught in a tournament using one. they probably dont let people sign into their own accounts anymore lol
- izzydata 7y agoYou aren't thinking outside the box enough. If you could commission cheating software for $10,000+ then there is plenty you could do to circumvent the PCs being provided. It should also be noted that they allow self provided peripherals in most cases.
- Buttons840 7y agoAn interesting idea. Now I'm curious. First, has there ever been an example of someone caught cheating this way? Second, what kinds of cheats would you expect using peripherals? Any visual cheats would likely be detected, since player's screens are often viewed by referees and/or televised. I suppose an audio based cheat is conceivable. The screen and the audio are the only output from most computer games.

Aimbots these days look almost indistinguishable from good playing. The point isn't to be perfect. It's to give some kind of competitive edge. If you can take even 15% of the effort away then you can focus on other things.
