I always find it interesting how many people are welcoming kernel-level anti-cheat software. I dislike cheaters as well, but granting a part of a game essentially full access to my system isn't worth it at all in my opinion.
Also, I didn't even realize that people commonly play this game on a public server. I thought this was more like a co-op experience on a private server/invite basis, or solo.
Imo it really depends on the game, and how much cheating can actually effect things, and as time goes on and technology develops, it will only become more relevant. I remember a headline a while back about a monitor that used machine learning to track the enemy team in league of legends by "watching" the map, and marking whenever an enemy is crossing a ward.
I’m not certain how what you said debates the other comment at all. Like I get that Chester will get more advanced or whatever, but allowing kernel level garbage is not ok to me. No matter the circumstances.
I mean there's no point in debating in the first place if you've just drawn your line in the sand and don't give a fuck about anything else
"I don't want to hand over compete kernel and administrative control of my PC just to play a game" seems like a pretty reasonable line to draw.
If you like it, feel free. But it still isn't particularly conducive to debate if it's just your own line in the sand and you don't particularly care what anyone else thinks.
The purpose of debate isn't necessarily to convince the person your debating against. It also helps sway others who might be party to the discussion. Just because I have a line in the sand re: turning over control of my computer doesn't mean I can't debate that point and offer my own reasons for taking that position, while someone contrary to that can explain theirs. Neither participant in the debate needs to budge in their position, but by both offering their reasoning it may be useful in persuading others to one of their sides.
