Anyone remember PunkBuster? If anything took more out of the soul of gaming in them days I'd love to know what. It never managed to keep on top of "hackers" but some how managed to destroy the legitimate gamer communities - I got kicked so much I just gave up in the end playing publicly.
Does anyone even bother anymore with online gaming without using hacks? I've never strayed far from private servers for over a decade now.
- babypuncher 5y agoPunkbuster was a nightmare and I still have flashbacks to botched updates ruining my Friday evenings in Quake 3 and Battlefield 2. I've yet to personally encounter any issues with more modern solutions like EAC or BattleEye, though I know they've caused issues with some exotic device drivers like RGB controllers. > Does anyone even bother anymore with online gaming without using hacks?

Don't listen to the haters, cheating isn't as widespread as people seem to think it is, as long as you stay out of APAC matchmaking servers. Smurf accounts are the bigger problem in the games I play regularly (Overwatch, Apex Legends).
