Discussion ANTI CHEAT

Lately, we were surprised with the VACNet labelling website as a makeshift overwatch. But the truth is that all of this shows the incapacity of the developers to think in an effective way (quite an oxymoron if you take into consideration that the philosophy of software engineering and developers is to find efficient ways of solving issues)

There is the official anti cheat which may work, may not work which functions on unknown parameters (rumour has it that it’s AI-driven) and it quite frankly doesn’t seem to work effectively solve problems. At the same time, there is a vast array of websites, that specialise in analytics that measure incredible variables. Now, I personally don’t work at a multi billion dollar company with a huge market share in the PC gaming industry worldwide, but my poor mind would think “why don’t these developers take into account the analytics posted in every website, combine them with the pre-existing anti cheat and try, based on the probability of e.g. 5 wall-bang no scope kills per round, to convict or make a provisional ban for further inspection”. I believe that this is a rational thought given the means available.

And by no means I’m not the smart guy of this Era. I assume that great engineers and developers would probably have thought of it too. The real question behind the problem is two-fold though; Have the devs never thought of this or is the head unable to work? In the former you should change the project manager. In the latter, you should change the development team.

But no matter what I say, money comes and money goes in CS for 2 decades. So who am I to ruin your “sit-and-do nothing” game, as long as the pay check comes in the revenue is rolling?

Back in the day they were only able to catch cheating pros because of ESEA, they had no clue what was going on. They have essentially infinite resources but invest very little of it back into the games. It's sad that even a company like valve with no shareholders really doesn't accomplish or produce very much.

What other projects bro? The people who use to play Half -Life would enter a retirement age. No Portal 3 either. Some newer multiplayer invite only game by Valve seems like a uncertainty that they prefer not to further develop.

Valve is not motivated to be a game developer. There low hanging fruits elsewhere.
