Anticheats are anti-consumer; They restrict what you can do on your own machine. It's better not to have these games.

- ssully 6y agoI mean good luck getting rid of the biggest games around then. The majority of the top 10 games on Steam are multiplayer games with anti-cheat systems in place. Even outside of Steam, Riot and Blizzard have games with huge player bases and they all use anti-cheat systems.
- techelite 6y agoAhh yes I will surely miss COD and FIFA /s My bigger concern would be a permanent ban on an indie game.
- mhh__ 6y agoThey also make some games actually playable, which is a shame. Ultimately anti-cheat within the application itself, I find, should be considered acceptable whereas Riot's Vanguard/rootkit solution is an ugly hack. Valve seem to be showing it's possible via both automation (ML) and community judgement to make achieve results - the aim needs to ensure all players look "normal", not stop all cheats (the latter aim is impossible).

- Sodman 6y agoI still prefer anticheat to having a multiplayer game ruined by players that move at 10x normal speed and dual-wield fully automatic, infinite-ammo sniper rifles rigged to never miss.
- SaltySolomon 6y agoUh, no its not fun to play a multiplayer game full of cheaters
