I definitely understand that. Cheaters have pushed me out of most first-person shooters I'd enjoyed. But I also have significant concerns about game companies having that much access to my general-use computer.
Perhaps the solution here is not to do personal/sensitive work on gaming machines, but then we're right back to having separate game consoles...
- jhardy54 6y agoAlternatively: Only play video games with people in your trust network. Friends, friends of friends, etc., so that you have some recourse against griefing and cheating.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoThis doesn't really help: I don't have a choice on whether or not my shooter of choice implements anti-cheat. Perhaps an ideal scenario would let a player choose whether or not to enable a game's anti-cheat, but that it'd be required for certain matchmaking and (obviously) competitive features. So that I can opt out if I'm just trying the game casually or just playing with friends in a private room, but can enable it if it's something I intend to play seriously and am invested in enough to give deep access to my system?
