@9431225643b7846eAt some point they will do as CoD is doing. They will ban players for reporting other players...
Then there will be no more cheating. At least on paper.
From what I understand it isn't an effort that concerns only game developers and anti-cheats devs. Sure they are on the front-lines of this issue.
The problem runs deeper as in "sloppy development of drivers". Drivers that have huge vulnerabilities and are "very" easy to exploit relatively speaking. Apparently, someone is always releasing some sloppily developed driver that for a reason or another offers vulnerabilities that can be used for video games cheats.... I wonder why (money maybe)?
In order to fix that aspect, something's gotta give. It is either accepting that cheating is incurable and living with it, or giving up some control over one's PC in terms of what can or not be used/installed on one's PC..
The current situation sees both the sloppy development of drivers and the full control over what drivers a person wants to install.
Ideally, but most likely it'll never happen, some sort of authority would establish whether a driver has potential negative effects for other industries. I think we are quite far from an efficient way of handling that. The gaming industry would have to matter much more than what it does now, in terms of political relevance to effect that type of control. Just my opinion.
