I would much rather my 45 minute game be disrupted and the user booted permanently by moderators VS every game be disrupted for months while the developers try and work out which parts of my privacy they can invade to maybe hopefully boot the cheaters.

What about everyone else?

    Re-read the comment but with generosity in your heart? I don't think you need it explained.

      You didn't answer the GP's question. You talked about what you wanted.

      The answer to their question is: the majority of people who play competitive matchmade games online have decided that they want anticheat, and disagree with you.

        It's funny because this isn't even a hypothetical, you're actually just wrong!

        The majority of people who play competitive matchmade games online didn't get consulted, the developers put anti-cheat in after the audience was already entrenched. The players didn't "decide" anything, Riot games decided it in like 2020 and the players have middling to negative feelings about it. You weren't talking about Riot Games? Well you said "majority of people who play competitive matchmade games online" and that's Riot Games, so yes you were.

Problem is that requires moderators, that get paid, with money.

    more likely volunteers when they're running their own servers

      volunteers which aren't necessarly pro player and cant distinguish good players from smart cheaters.

      • chownie 2 days ago

        The developers aren't pro players either, the cutting edge for anti-cheats still require that non-cheaters play with cheaters for months. I would not be shocked if simple vote-kick outperforms every anti-cheat on the market.

          A simple vote-kick will kick, will kick so much players that doesn't cheat. It's already used to troll in games like CS.

    Not really. In mostly player-run lobbies, one of the players would kick any found cheaters. It's not exacts science, but it's what people did.
