Come the fuck on. You can’t be this sarcastic while being an idiot at the same time. If a city is clogged up by cars, it doesn’t help that people are irresponsibly parking these e-scooters (specifically the ones you hire for a short period through an app which are prominent in e.g. Sweden). Why let a private company carelessly put a bunch of shit on the limited space available for people?

He doesn’t consider game bundles like e.g. humble bundle. There you can get loads of steam games which you might activate but only play a few from.

At least e.g. steam can’t arbitrarily choose to brick your colputer

The website which wants to sell your data to hundreds of “partners” pretends to be concerned about your privacy.

So you’re saying that americans have a magical property that makes them confront pickpocketers unlike everyone else who simply allows it to happen because they apparently don’t care about keeping their expensive stuff? Believable

Reddit be like: YOU’RE ENCOURAGING POLITICAL VIOLENCE!!!

Would like to see some evidence supporting that beggars get an average close to $40 an hour. Searched for papers about the topic and haven’t found anything being remotely close to what you suggest.

What you’re referring to is deterrence, and it doesn’t apply to online gaming the way it does to theft of property. One cheater doesn’t ruin the game for one other person, they ruin the game for dozens or hundreds of other players.

Why are you comparing theft to game hacking out of nowhere? Did you accidentally reply to the wrong person?

And the efficacy being so bad…

full access to the system itself.

What do you mean by system in “full access to the system”? Too vague to even say anything about.

And the guys writing the cheat software just have to put in the effort once to defeat the anti-cheat and then they sell it to people who install it like any other software. The cheaters who use the cheats have it easy.

The potential guys that can write the cheat software and how quickly it can be developed is the part that matters. Much like when it’s easy to use an exploit once it’s already discovered. Someone still has to discover the exploit.

Before you can do that, you need to determine whether someone is cheating. This is the purpose of anti-cheat software.

Agreed. Ultra commercial music has always existed. With AI, the threshold to creating it is simply much lower. There’s nothing magic about music just because it’s created by a human, they are very capable of producing bland and uninteresting music too.

Much like every form of security measure, the intention is not to completely eliminate the possibility of an attack (which is impossible in most cases). Instead, the intention is to increase the amount of effort that’s required to make an attack.

Can the EvE online method be applied to dissimilar games like e.g. fps games?

Anti-cheat is a necessary evil for competitive online games. No one wants to play a game against cheaters since they typically have an unfair advantage. If you can’t combat cheating then you might as well not make the game since no one will want to play it. Fine by me since I don’t care for such games but I could imagine people who like playing them might prefer to play against as few cheaters as possible. What are the alternatives?
