Nor I, which is why I said so. A SaaS will pop up called "Co-chair" and that'll be that. It would definitely be a lot easier to trust than any of the black box neural networks we are all familiar with - as the field of formal

It is all "anti-cheat". Many years ago gamedevs like John Carmack were no joke wizards pushing the envelope, which certainly required low level access. Today's gamedevs aren't doing that... not even close. Modern games a

Almost, but I'd say it feels a lot more like that time Ubuntu decided that they hated their desktop users - and really wanted some of that tablet-device-only-good-for-advertisement-consumption hotness. Unity was just plain awful.
