so consoles are better
- armada651 1y agoThey are often more convenient and secure. If you don't mind a single-purpose device that severely limits your ability to modify your experience. Better is subjective after all.
- zrobotics 1y agoHow would consoles be any more immune to computer vision based cheating? Instead of feeding the output to a spoofed keyboard & mouse, you'd just be feeding it to a controller input. I'm not really seeing any difference in technical challenge here, and you wouldn't even need esoteric hardware since console controllers are USB devices anyways.

- literalAardvark 1y agoSince the hardware is better controlled and secured, and hardware attestation is a solved problem these days, it's not particularly difficult to enforce security to the point where you'd need to hardware hack a controller and connect it to a physical camera to bot. That's still gonna be annoying for players, but it'll greatly decrease incidence, and if reporting a player for botting requires buying and hacking a new controller... It should be quite effective.
- p_ing 1y agoController-based cheats have been around for awhile, like Cronus which allows scripted actions; reduced recoil in CoD, for example.
- literalAardvark 1y agoSure, but that's because they're not protected. They could easily be protected.
- Der_Einzige 1y agoSomeone doesn’t know about the chronus zen or how big console cheating is! Let’s just say that my finals experience isn’t the same as yours! ;)
