How do we fix the cheating problem in video games? (Specifically online games). It's very clear the general public doesn't want the anti-cheat to be intrusive thus rendering it fucking useless (God damn morons).
What else can be done to combat cheaters, Yas Forums?

Any skill-based game will have cheaters. There's absolutely no escaping it. Companies aren't even interested in solving the problem completely, anyway, because farming chinks will keep buying new accounts every time the previous one gets banned, netting a fuckton of cash in the end. The only solution is not to play multiplayer games.
They could easily fix it by having intrusive anti cheats like they once did, VAC used to be as intrusive as ESEA and it scanned everything on your computer and it worked to combat cheaters. People started crying and they stopped it.
Look at Vac games now.
Trust factor already seems to do well enough, though I suppose people who disagree just get trapped in the cycle about being accused of having low trust
First you segregate players by ping, trying to work around latency is a great way to introduce more ways to cheat(mostly speedhacking and flying).
Secondly, you do what worst korea do and link accounts with i think is their SSN or whatever so if you get banned and try to make another account you can't and if you think you're smart for using someone else SSN now that's a fraud and suddenly you're a criminal.
That's how you fix most of it. Anything less than that won't accomplish anything.
people cry about NOOOO MAH SECRET FILES FUCK INTRUSIVE ANTI CHEATS! but these same people use ESEA and FACEIT that are million times worse than VAC ever could be
Like I said, the companies don't WANT to stop cheating. They want it to be detectable, since that's how they can do ban waves and appear to be taking action, and to force cheaters to buy new accounts repeatedly, tripling or more their income from that (sizable) userbase. The fact they do 'waves' of bans at all indicates they're not actually interested in stopping it as a practice.
>Like I said, the companies don't WANT to stop cheating.
That's wrong, at the start of CSGO even the DEV's asked the community if they want VAC to be intrusive. Guess what happened? all the fucking retards cried and were complaining how that's terrible.
Look at CSGO now.
As long as you can play cs:go on linux there will be cheaters. I have been using aimtux for 2 years now, still not banned
Fucking region lock China away.
