Cheating is a tiny issue as in, its still rare. It's more rare than bugs in your typical shoddy post-2000 game. Any competent gamedev can deter it easily. Since they are deterring it, its rare for you to encounter a cheater. Remember,

Well congratulations, you prevented 0.01% of "bad things". I've been gaming for 20 years on competitive FPS. Cheating is a tiny issue. 99% of cheating reports are bogus.

Why are you arguing like a lawyer instead of coming up with a valid point for me to rebuke? Obviously I was referring to just the general notion of people saying racist stuff in chat. It's no the end of the world when that happens. Say

Yeah, the subgame is the PVP. But that's rare and requires players to play for thousands of hours to get to whatever level and probably is like an RPG but with worse mechanics because the devs spend most of their time adding new items

COD Warzone required phone verification to install when I tried. There was no way to play at all without getting a code sent to your phone. But yeah this is old news. This cancer started around 2010 when Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and friend

Who is we? BR games have one map and reload it every time they start and even loading the menu takes extremely long. Then they go on top make the time between matches solid minutes to wait for people to be pointlessly loading the map. Fortn

Weird how they used as an example debugging character encoding bugs instead of solving real problems as the typical thing software engineers do.

Short of swapping in a new image during the vertical blanking interval, you will never have a "flicker" free image. Any "flicker" that can happen from no double buffer can happen because of no vsync. This begs the questi

Yup. MAME still has an "electron beam" since that's how all PC video works, just the software buffers a full frame before letting it scan out to the monitor. Even if emulators didn't buffer, they would have to somewhat e

The chart says there is a total latency on PC of 80ms. It's unplayable. 80ms is actual garbage. Comparing it to console works because consoles typically are garbage these days. FPS/TPS on console sucks. Yes, Geforce Now may be com

It's a bug with most modern LCDs. Ever since HDMI days they started taking ages to turn on or change modes. I have LCDs from 1997 that turn on and change modes in about 100ms, as opposed to the new 3s-10s. I suspect something extremely

They aren't. The people who advocate stream gaming are precisely like this guy in the article who bought 400 games and never played any of them.

At risk of responding to a troll post, the idea that cloud gaming somehow brings equality to society, is retarded. As is the idea of games needing more powerful GPUs (it's a bug). Ironically, the reason games need more and more powerfu
