  Professional players should all be using the same hardware and software configuration

  VAC is to keep the game fun for more casual players

    This would be considered a challenge in real-life and basically impossible online.
    You're bound to encounter minor model differences unless you spend dramatically more on hardware.

      I mean… professionals always have to spend dramatically more on hardware…

      There are rules around the engines and bodies f1 and nascar drivers can use, there are rules around what shoes runners can use…

      A slimmed down operating system on a specific hardware configuration isn’t unreasonable

        F1 is still largely a pay2win affair with clear competitive advantages of having a bigger budget so not a good a comparison IMO.

  Real sports let you change the source code

    That’s not a great argument. Real sports don’t let you change which rules you play by while others are still using the normal rules.

    What you described is more like making your own league.

      What do you think open source is?

      If you’re using a modified version of something then you need other people using it too
