I switched to Linux to get AWAY from root kits and corporate malware.

keep your anticheat code off my cpu and on the server where it belongs.

wtf.

why is this so fucking hard for developers to understand?

[-] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Nah I can't agree with this. I don't think there are many games with anti-cheats solely on the server. Even Valve has its VAC.

I agree that Kernel anti-cheats are bullshit, I don't want a rootkit on my system. But if you are already running a closed-source game, it's not a stretch to run its local anti-cheat.

And local anti-cheats make sense in and of themselves since you can't easily detect things like visual hacks from the server-side.

Actually, it's probably management who won't right-size budgets.

Fuck.

Best anti-cheat is to run games on local. Bring back LANs. Gaming on internet was a mistake xD

I hope LAN café become more popular.

I honestly really like the finals. If they're this based I can't wait to see a single player game from them.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 1 points 14 hours ago

You might be waiting a while for that. Venture capital funded and so far have made a Battle Royale and an Extraction Shooter. Will probably be a Survival game next if a new trend doesn't come along first.

Battle Royale? Do you think the finals is a battle royale? Do you know what a battle royale even is? Because the finals is pretty obviously not a battle royale bro jfc.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz -1 points 10 hours ago

Battle Royale bro? Not in the strictest sense of "is it PUBG", but it has a lot of the genre's elements in there. It's basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes. I'd say it's a fusion of BR and Hero Shooter for sure.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

You’ve got to be joking me. It’s closer to an arena shooter than a battle royale. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes

Ok first there’s no fucking heroes. There are classes with specializations, but classes are the exact opposite of heroes. I guess Battlefield 3 is a hero shooter now bc they have classes? Second, if you think that this game has anything in common with hunger games you’re not just batshit, but then you also must think that literally every shooter is like hunger games.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

Oh holy shit stop the fucking presses. An online multiplayer fps is not a single player game? No way. My mind is absolutely blown this whole time I thought my friends in my party were npc’s and I was playing a single player game.

it has a lot of the genre’s elements in there.

There’s really no point in continuing this conversation, but please tell me what battle royale elements does the finals have? I mean specific game elements, not just saying something vague like “it’s like hunger games”.

Cheating has gotten pretty bad on this game, it really hurts the experience. Do I like giving someone this much access to my hardware; no. But i love the shit out of this game and i'll take that risk to keep the small dick cheaters out of my lobbies.
