For everyone who says we don't want ring 0 or kernel level "root kits" I would agree, but then whats the solution when you can easily defeat these anti cheat solutions by going kernel level?
Genuine question, is there a solution?
There is a 2-part solution:
You can't expect the assholes who need to win to "just enjoy the game" when they aren't playing multiplayer games for that reason.
As for point 2, every server-sode solution I've seen has just not worked lol. RuneScape comes to mind when I think of how much that seems to fail
Point taken. Still, I think designing the game around positive things like team work and rewarding experiences is important.
I can't see why server side solutions won't work when implemented properly. High ping? Just provide more servers and allow players to filter that out or do that automatically.
What's more important? Stopping people cheating at games via technology or digital freedom to prevent all kinds power abuse? (Forced obsolescence, surveillance, anti-features, etc)

I don't care that much about games to be honest. If they get caught cheating, how about just legal action?
