People already closet cheat to avoid detection. It's nothing new. You can closet cheat with ESP and that is very game breaking without obvious rage cheating. You can't do ESP if cheats are limited to what is visible on screen so I

That's still an improvement over the current state of games. Cheats being able to read hidden game state is a huge advantage vs. just what is visible on screen.

I know about these but they require a lot more technical know-how to set up and getting ROMs is legally questionable. Your kid's friends are probably not playing those games either. They aren't a good option for most people.

I agree with you but you can't just go out and buy a Gameboy anymore. And gaming is more of a social activity now where you'll need internet access.

Sure, it's better than nothing, but it's certainly not ideal. How much time and energy is being wasted by libraries like that? Wouldn't it be better if library B had a stable ABI or was versioned? Is there any reason it needs

Software installed from your package manager is almost certainly provided as a binary already. You could package a .exe file and that should work everywhere WINE is installed.

Unfortunately they do still need IL2CPP because Unity took a different direction than .NET: most reflection still works with IL2CPP but does not with .NET AOT. Switching would be a huge breaking change for everyone, including Unity. Platfor

Yes, but it also puts them in an awkward situation! They recommend (or even require, for some platforms) using IL2CPP for release builds which will still use Boehm GC and not run as quick as CoreCLR.

No, for a full domain reload it reloads everything. This forces all static variables to reset, makes static constructors run again, etc.

Editor is slower than Mono release builds. You'll need to compare Mono release vs. IL2CPP release to see the actual difference.

Pretty sure that will still be there? It'll be different because CoreCLR doesn't really have AppDomains but it will still need to unload old assemblies and reload them all again. That's the only reliable way to reset everythi

Yes, SGen should be a lot better, but Unity cannot use it because they hold and pass raw pointers around everywhere. That's fine for Boehm but not possible with SGen. They're working on fixing this already but not sure why they ar

The article doesn't cover it but the GC being used by Unity also performs very poorly vs. .NET, and even vs. standalone Mono, because it is using the Boehm GC. Last I heard Unity has no plans to switch IL2CPP to a better GC [1]. It
