Ughh don't trust the client! Why do games use bs like anti-cheat instead of running stuff server side. Anti-cheat is spyware/malware in my opinion.

- Anunayj 5y agoWell there are some cheats that are purely cosmetic but can give a edge in certain gaming scenarios and are very hard to detect serverside. AntiCheats are basically security by obscurity, I don't think anyone should trust them, But I think running them in a VM isn't that bad of a deal?
