Or you can just play with friends who don't cheat. Cheaters are only a problem if your friends are jackasses or you play with strangers.

- spanhandler 6y agoSo... we're gonna throw out the freedom to play with non-cheating strangers when your friends are all busy, in order that every computing device, instead of just lots and lots of them, can have arbitrary software installed on it? This feels like losing options, not gaining them.
- liability 6y ago> we're gonna throw out the freedom to play with non-cheating strangers Freedom? No. Opportunity? Maybe. I think communities would arise to fill the demand though. Pseudo-anonymous reputation systems tied to matchmaking could fill the roll. I have a group of pseudo-anonymous friends/acquaintances I frequently play games with online. None of us cheat and if any of us did, we'd stop playing with them. We don't need big brother. We don't need technical solutions to social problems.
- spanhandler 6y agoMaybe they could form a company for this purpose, and then sell a product that fills that need?
- esrauch 6y agoThat only works if you have friends to play both your teammates and the enemy team which is a very tall order. Most people play with strangers overall, and most people who play with friends just have them as teammates against stranger opponents.
- Cederfjard 6y agoSo then the value add is that you can play with orders of magnitude more people than just the ones you happen to know and won’t cheat?
- pb7 6y agoDo you have 150 friends to play battle royale?
- gsich 6y agoHave you played games before? Even in a 5vs5 game, it's hard to gather 9 friends at the same time, with a similar skill.
