  • I was wondering how the hell that could even happen twice but APPARENTLY Ubisoft has had issues with insiders leaking stuff to hackers to steal and sell accounts, so... I'm thinking they might have to fire EVERYONE in the support team and revoke all of their keys. It's clear the hackers have people in the support team giving them access.

  • Trump is the entire reason this is working. All of Trump's minions are too incompetent to be able to hold everything from crashing down once he croaks. They have a time limit. They're trying to turn the US into a full blown dictatorship before Trump dies.

  • He admitted it was about oil. Which is hilarious because venezuelan oil is DOGSHIT and they live off exporting it to other countries so they can refine it, and modernizing their equipment to refine it on-site would take 20 years. So he pretty much just overthrew a nation for no reason.

  • Competitive multiplayer games are already cooked on Playstation anyways since a lot of console cheaters use Cronus on PS4s that can't detect it.

  • Oh Sony is actually cooked now.

    I give it a month before unlocked PS5s are everywhere, and maybe six months to an year before a full on PS5 emulator. Brazilians in general LOVE hacked consoles and pirated games, hell the PS2 and Xbox 360 were extremely popular here for that exact reason.

    This is literally the Gol D. Roger Execution moment for us.

  • I know server side anti-cheat is way better but at this point the only way to stop kernel anti-cheats from being the "best" way is government regulation. Literally no one cares about the security concerns of something like Riot Vanguard knowing everything you do on your computer, and server side anti-cheat has a more expensive overhead and suits aren't going to want to spend more money.

  • I'd trust Valve with the ability to only allow signed drivers way more than Microsoft. And also, Valve could make it so whatever thing they do to make SteamOS secure is optional and is only turned on if someone installs a game that requires kernel level anti-cheat, thus giving the user the ability to either choose to secure their OS to be able to play a game they like that has kernel anticheat, or not do so and keep using SteamOS (or whatever linux distro they choose assuming Valve allows this secure environment thing to be exported to all Linux distros) as is.

  • Automated could work using AI to check how someone is playing, since a lot of LLMs are specialized in analyzing if something has human behaviors on it or not, but even then that approach isn't 100% guaranteed. Ideally we'd use server-side anti-cheat instead of offloading it to client side, but that costs money and suits are allergic to spending money.

  • I think that's what Valve might actually try to do with SteamOS, actually. They might require code to be signed by Valve to not be malicious, and I'd trust Valve with that type of power way more than Microsoft.

    And while I do use Windows 11, I recently reinstalled it and the first thing I did was delete any and all AI stuff from it AND run scripts to prevent them from coming back.

  • but why can’t server side cheat detection be the main focus?

    Ideally, this would be the BEST way to prevent cheating, and it's the approach Valve has essentially. It's how they managed to absolutely obliterate every bot that was plaguing Team Fortress 2 for years and they haven't resurfaced since in a large enough group to matter, and any botnet that goes online quickly gets whacked. But the reason it's not focused on is because it costs a lot in terms of server overhead, and triple A gaming companies are more beholden to shareholders and cutting costs than any other company, so... They'd rather not spend that much on server stuff and offload the anti-cheat to the end user, which I find to be stupid. And also, a lot of companies have a vested interest on keeping cheaters playing or re-buying the game, like Tarkov, which is plagued with cheaters constantly despite having a stupid high barrier of entry, and my only theory is that there's so many russian hackers playing that if they banned them all they'd lose a decent enough chunk of the playerbase that it would threaten it.

  • That's valid. I've played twitchy shooters since I was like 8, so it's pretty much what I'm most used to.

  • Clip Studio Paint doesn't work on Linux, and neither does Paint Tool Sai (which are the only art programs I'm extremely familiar with) and a lot of game developers with kernel anti-cheats do not want to develop for Linux due to the lack of a fully secure environment in the OS. In fact, someone could actually make a Linux distro with its only focus being cheating. However, if Valve manages to create an actual secure enviroment in SteamOS (and I do trust them to find a way) and exports said environment to other Linux distros, we may actually see games like Battlefield 6, Valorant, GTA V, and Call of Duty on Linux.

    If that ever happened I would never, ever use Windows again.
