dont worry, i wasted much more on CS and im much worse than the more or less equivalent rank.

Apparently its just fake news with the intent to socially engineer anti-anticcheat word of mouth to hurt companies that try to protect their customers against cheaters who are financially motivated to ruin peoples gaming experience

>>109970658
TRUKE

>playing riot shit

HWID bans have been a thing for decades, I fucking hate normaies

i know the normgroid reaction to this story is “OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS, THE COMPANY BETTER MAKE IT RIGHT FOR THIS PERSON” but genuinely, what are they supposed to do? keep track of whether a banned hardware was genuinely sold to a new person? put together a team or workflow for accomplishing that? all so that people banned for cheating have an easier time selling their used shit? idk /g/eet, idk about this one

Protecting you from riot malware is a bonus

Stallman was right, yet again.

Why do people cheat at video games in the first place? It can't imagine it being fun, and the catharsis of trolling would probably wear off after 10 minutes. What is even the endgame?

I know I'm going to get called a nigger, but when so many modern multiplayer games are live service dogshit where even the developers clearly have contempt for their customers and treat them as cattle, cheating is based.

>>109970860
i can only imagine it's more that they find pleasure in hurting others than actually winning. because i doubt any of them truly believe they're winning, rather they only care that others are loosing. really sad behaviour.

>>109970860
Cheating is a very brown mindset. You can't understand it unless you live in the third world where the mentality is "Anything to win". If you grew up in that world, cheating only comes naturally. You ask yourself "Well, why don't I deserve to cheat? It makes me win!"

That's how you get Chinese and Russians in every game cheating through their nose with the most disgusting and obvious bots ever. IF they cheat, they win. Why not cheat? Because you want to play a game?? lol. all games are just an extension of winning or losing. Izzat must be retained and I retain it in the holy arena of Valorant.

>>109970719
why the fuck would you ban hardware and not the fucking account???? hardware is not tied to a person like an email is. nobody sells their fucking email but most people sell their hardware to upgrade.
this should be a serious lawsuit

>>109970904
presumably to prevent people just making another account

>>109970860
doesn't fucking matter, this will be a planned obsolescence shit where more companies will pull those serials and also ban them, thus banning the hardware from all online platforms. you won't be able to access a website if your cpu is banned because some fucking retard did something stupid 5 years ago
they are turning all PCs into consoles they can simply ban from the fucking internet like sony does with playstations

>>109970911
so they buy another cpu. great. now you fucked over someone who didn't do anything wrong when they buy their PC.
but nobody is buying their banned fucking accounts

>>109970860
>>109970891
This. It's extremely shithole-society coded. A combination of: Everyone else is probably cheating too so I have to just to make it even, and 'if someone loses to me because they're not cheating that's their fault for being stupid. They could cheat too. I am therefore smarter and better'.

Then there's the subset of cheaters who are streamers or 'pro' and doing it because it brings them success and money.

>>109970917
it's not much different to how 4chan and my other sites ban by IP, IP addresses are only loosely tied to someone but what else can they do? it doesn't take a genius to figure out clearing cookies.
ever been assigned an IP someone else got a 4chan ban on years ago? i have many times. sometimes i'll just reset my router, but sometimes i have successfully appealed them as well, actually i don't think i've ever been denied an appeal based on that, though they're usually years old and they will of course know this is an issue, but again, what else can they do?

soon enough you're going to need to provide a government-issued ID of some kind to access stuff online, it's already happening in some places i hear. all because some people can't handle playing by the rules.

What the fuck is this. A 4chan post about a twitter post about a reddit post. This has to be a new low

>>109970933
>but what else can they do?
it's not perma ban, they clear EXACTLY BECAUSE THEY GET ASSIGNED TO SOMEONE ELSE EVENTUALLY you moron

the prolem with the CPU is they basically invalidate second hand market. you cannot ban ANYONE WHO'LL OWN THE CPU, it's brain rot. you are banning someone who did nothing wrong.
imagine you buy a car and you are not allowed into a parking space because previous owner did something shitty. or you're not allowed in a drive-through with it, because previous owner ran with the food without paying.
this should be a serious lawsuit, they shouldn't be allowed to do this shit
>but how they solve it
they aren't though, are they? they literally didn't solve cheating. that piece of shit bought a new cpu to cheat, and sold his as a second hand one. thus they didn't solve cheating.
think the cheater goes "oh snap I fucked up I'm so sorry I'm not going to cheat anymore"???

>>109970942
i don't mind this example, regardless of the source this is a relevant topic at least. which is more than can be said for most reposts from those sites.

>>109970950
i get you, i do.
i assume their rationale is that the punishment for cheating is much greater if the only way around it is to buy a new cpu (though to be fair most of these kinds of games tend to have pretty low requirements to ensure more people can play them, so dedicated cheaters could just keep getting cheap second hand cpus to use).

as for people getting banned cpus second hand, maybe on the bright side it'll put those people off playing these games to begin with. who'd want to play a game full of cheaters?

Is this a troll or bot thread
If not;
HEY RETARDS CPUS DONT HAVE UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBERS THAT SOFTWARE CAN QUERY. THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE A MAC ADDRESS. YOU CANT BAN THEM INDIVIDUALLY
but I digress, I’m the retard for replying

>>109970950
>thus they didn't solve cheating.
It's really about making it financially harder and harder to dissuade larger amounts of people.
If cheating requires hundreds of dollars in DMA cards, mux boxes and now potentially entire CPUs if caught then you lower the population that will get invested in it.
There will always be the absolute most hardcore tards out there but you can make them fewer and fewer.

>>109970985
The fTPM in each CPU has unique keys

>>109970993
doesn't matter, you cannot punish more than the person who cheats.
it is on you to figure out how to stop the person who cheats without affecting anyone else for it.

>>109970993
Guess who’s retarded

>>109970860
>Why do people cheat at video games in the first place?
because the company making the game is too fucking retarded to fix their shit so people cannot technically cheat. instead of fixing their piece of shit software to close the loops they take it out on innocent people because they're too fucking retarded to fix their shit

>>109970891
I suppose australians are brown then with the amount of ximmers I meet on their shit servers

>>109970913
Yeah it is retarded but if you go the other way you get battleye that is kernel level and completely useless. Tbh I used to think it was crazy some games used ID numbers to sign up for games but I think I get it now

>>109971069
>I suppose australians are brown then
hell yeah they are. I went to sydney and it looked like mumbai.

>>109970993
it used to be easy when you had to buy the game. but the free-to-play model with gambling stuff to make money instead proved to be more lucrative, so they can no longer punish users by making them buy the game again

>>109971086
that's like going to new york and concluding all of america is like that

>>109971027
>doesn't matter, you cannot punish more than the person who cheats.
You actually can, thanks to this fucked-up retarded reality: Corporations can do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Even though this guy never signed any EULA with Riot, Riot still doesn't have any kind of obligation to make sure his hardware works with their game. In the past, pre-banning people from your business would result in the FTC having a say in it, but we don't live in those times anymore. Basically every corporation runs a fiefdom, now.

>>109971027
This can be fixed with some actual proof the sale occurred.
The same shit can happen with consoles and has. Hardware bans have been happening for 20 years at this point. Almost 30 if you count HDDs being banned.

>>109971038
To be fair, without the fTPM there would be no easy way.

>>109971063
You sorely lack perspective on the issue.
Do you honestly believe modern cheating is just hooking and modifying memory with a higher privileged application?
Fuck no.
This is full ring -1 Intel management levels of intrusion before the OS bootloader is even read. Any anti-cheat can't even load without the system basically being compromised already.

>This is full ring -1 Intel management levels of intrusion before the OS bootloader is even read. Any anti-cheat can't even load without the system basically being compromised already.
This is why I don't even fucking bother with mp gaming anymore. It's either a game like tf2 where the anti-cheat is less invasive because it's in user space, but anyone with an IQ above at least 85 can avoid getting detected by that. Or I have to install some dogshit driver running in kernel space. Yeah no, I'm good.
