All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It's illegal to steal someone else's property. We don't enforce that law by cutting off everyone's hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet...

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can't moderate their platform, that isn't the fault of the community - it's a failing of the corporation. It's such a ridiculous mindset. It's a fucking video game...
