i dont know if you know this, but generally the people buying and playing games arent the ones making the decisions about anticheat

I am still baffled that anyone thinks that Kernel AC is any kind of effective at stopping hacks, people have been literally making a living off of defeating it, and selling those hacks, for almost a decade now…
But nope, still got hordes of idiot gamers who think they work, think they’re necessary, think they can’t be spoofed.

Not sure how you could read this and come away with the idea that I do believe that…
I am talking about the subset of gamers that go on internet forums and discord servers and make false, unsupported claims, argue that Kernel AC is necessary, tell people this just is how it is now, get with the program,
eat the bugs, play the spyware game, its fine, everyone is doing it.Burninator05@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Indirectly buyers are making a decision on anticheat. If someone buys a game with anticheat, they’ve made the decision to reward the developer for making the decision to include anticheat.

It’s crazy to me that people cheat in online games. You really have to be a huge fucking loser to do this.
Small pp energy.

Sadly, I think the financial incentive is too great these days. People make decent money off this shit

The cheat developers, yes. Because there is demand. The question though was, why there is demand.

There’s demand because there’s supply.
Build it and they will come.
We have to ask the question if cheat developing wasn’t profitable, and even if developers actually operated at a loss, would there be as many cheats on the market as there are now?

I don’t know what energy this is, but not good either.
