>No functional anti-cheat was ever made>Despite numerous studies proving that piracy does nto hurt revenue, game developers and publishes spend much more time trying (fruitlessly) to counter it than they try to stop cheating>Polls show that up to 30% of players in any game cheated at least once>Polls show that about 12% of players in any game cheat regularly>Because cheaters tend to play more aggressively since they don't need to use their brains, even a relatively small number of them will be vastly overrepresented in PvP engagements (example: aimbotter sniping literally everyone constantly)>There is no unified, cross-platform, corss company database to ban caught cheaters from online gaming completely>Existing bans are stupidly easy to evade via alt accounts, family sharing, or in some cases, bribing the publisher>Experience show there are two kinds of "godlike" gaming pros: those who have been caught hacking, and those who are subtle enough not to have been caught yet>Every month there is a scandal when a well-respected pro or stremer of some online PvP game finally slips up and gets caught red-handed using a subtle aimbot or other hack>Free to play game publishers are in bed with cheaters because the players who are willing to go to any lengths to win are also the biggest pay to win whales>There is no legislation against cheating or the creation and distribution of cheats except in South KoreaGamer bros, something has to be done. Perhaps similarly to "stop killing games" there needs to be a campaign to pressure at the very least the EU to legislate against cheating in online games. Making hacks needs to be punishable by prison. Using them needs to be punishable by the permanent confiscation of the gaming equipment that was used. And there needs to be legislation to force publishers to implement matchmaking that excludes countries which do not have the same laws.
Also>Full on hack suites (ESP/Aimbot etc) are made for games while they are in closed beta, for example, Battlefield VI>Certain employees of developers are most likely involved in the process of making these
Take the single player, co-op and party games pill OP, cheaters are systematic problem that will never be fixed unless all suits decide to just not earn the money that e-sports represent
pvp is for competitive people willing to do whatever to get an edgeyou got filteredgo play against bots
>>729744441I'm not sure how close the rigging/cheating of e-sports is connected to rampant cheating in public games, though.
e-sports are not worth thinking about. the golden age of the internet is behind us and part of that is accepting that cheating in online pvp games is what happens.
>>729743209I can remember years ago watching my younger brother cheat. I couldn't figure out why. This was before e-sports etc. Shit has been dead for decades.
>>729744609>getting an edge is downloading software that plays the game for you actual retard
>>729744750The biggest cheaters are the ones that1. Have deep knowledge of the game, they know the ins and outs of the game enough to find the ideal conditions to cheat.2. Have the money to pay for the best cheating tools. 3. Have a twitch account. All the pros stream, is basically their second source of income, why not cheat to produce epic content? They only way to somewhat stop cheaters is removing e-sports money but no one will have the balls to actually do that
>>729743209cheaters don't affect your ability to enjoy a game. no, they don't.
noticed this after returning to OW for a while recently>tons of level 1 players who have perfect tracking with constant micro-adjustments>getting sniped while invisible as sombra>spectating others and seeing them look at players through walls constantlyevery single pvp fps is fucked forever.
>>729745159>falling for obvious bait
>>729743209>Online PvP is nothing but cheaters galoreYour fault for playing on PC = Pathetic Cheaters. You should try console instead, they know how to play legit. I warn you through, console players skill level is on a way higher level than PC, mainly because they play legit and master the game.
>>729746995he wants to play WITHOUT cheaters. every console fps has a built-in aimbot through aim-assist.
I do see cheaters in online games but not to a big degree. And its usually in like 15+ year old P2P games.I think anybody who goes on about a "cheating epidemic" has a case of mad cuz bad.
>>729747562what does "mad cuz bad" have to do with people spotting you through walls halfway across the map?sounds more like you don't know how to identify a cheater unless they spin 360 degrees constantly headshotting everyone
>>729746995>what are chronus zen and strike packs
