This isn’t the way. The way is to allow private servers/matchmaking with your friends. Make friends outside of the games to play with. Smurfs and throwers and racists and mic djs and all of those people are your experience because devs decided rando-army matchmaking was a good idea. It’s not. Also, you will never have a cheat less video game. There will always be a way. And if you don’t think there is, then they can…

>Also, you will never have a cheat less video game. There will always be a way. This is not true and has not been true for years. With crossplay disabled, games on Xbox and Playstation are truly cheat free. It doesn't happen. There is no dark web marketplace selling aimhacks because it isn't possible to install them.

Keep thinking that… the most recent iteration was using a Cronos Zen. I’ll let you figure out the rest.

I played Counter Strike Source and that community experience is one of the drivers for my idea. I want to build a community that you can see as “friends” and people you can trust. From my experience it’s a bit of a logistical nightmare to organize groups and cost prohibitive to spin up servers. Yea we can typically get 5 but a full balanced 10 man is real hard. 100% agree you can’t rid of cheaters but this is the hop…

I can support this.

In my view a mix of rando’s on quick-play and community run/moderated servers with voting is the only way to keep the riff raff out. You and your buddies play your server. Rando’s can join too but you get to control them and vote for ones you play well with. The ones who get voted up enough gain some limited power to also police the riff raff.

One thing is clear - we can’t keep relying on game dev companies to spawn hosting provider approved instances without oversight.

This reminds me of Evony's ransom/black mail shakedown where they made a demand for payment, or they would contact someone's employer if they did not pay.

Well I have no intentions of finding their personal information quite the opposite I want to avoid these people at all costs.

Matchmaking has been a blessing and a curse

That's a controller adapter. I'm talking about memory manipulation. You do not know what you're talking about.

Hope you have money for a defamation lawsuit

That's not at all how defamation suits work, in order to have any ground to file a defamation lawsuit you need to be able to easily prove that a statement is false or unprivileged. each person marked as cheaters in his website have specific evidence showing that they were either cheating or or stacked with an obvious cheater. I'd love to see someone find a lawyer that would be willing to file a suit like this. Not to mention they would also have to show evidence that this "verdict" lead to decreased/loss of income, or tarnished reputation while still proving that the statement the website made was false. You can't just sue for defamation whenever someone says something about you online.

Mmmkay… it’s only the adapter used by ai-aimbot… but wtf do I know? Clearly hacks only are classified as memory manipulation and not using the HDMI out to pass that to ML/AI algorithms that control your player input using… the said controller adapter you so quickly dismissed as “not a thing”.

Keep enjoying your console lobbies… while you can.
