I wonder how this will affect the MegaCheatersDB (https://mcdb.neocities.org/ https://mcdb.neocities.org/) and the MegaAntiCheat system (https://github.com/oenu/MegaAntiCheat https://github.com/oenu/MegaAntiCheat). Those projects are doing what they can to track down and label TF2 cheaters. I hope this helps them out.
On the flip side, does this SDK actually help bot makers? That would be unfortunate indeed.
- hofrogs 2y agoIt might make cheat creators life a little bit easier, but not by much. Security through obscurity is not a great practice in the first place, I think the benefits of allowing modders to make new games based on TF2 are much much greater than the potential damage from cheaters having to do less reverse engineering.

I doubt it - there have been at three or four Source engine leaks over the years, as well as the Team Fortress 2 game code. I suspect anything they don't know they reverse engineer from the Linux and Mac builds, and I'm sure anything Windows specific is easy to find as they'd have IDA scripts to automate what they need to find.
