Steam Input. Legal? OR CHEAT?
Lately I've seen several players who perform strange movements, such as scripted automatic Tap-Strafing. I was wondering what it was? I discovered that Steam allows you to configure your Controlle...

By common sense you know what is cheating and what is not,
but will the others play honestly?
When Steam is the most used platform and with a couple of clicks you activate these settings.
I know that thousands of players use it because of the numbers in the steam config downloads, because a guide on youtube exceeds 20,000 visits in a week.
WHAT will Respawn do? ban thousands? try to fix the game? They could collaborate with the steam devbs to disable steam input in apex at least leave it in basic mode.
Because they know this and are working on a solution? right?

@sebashooter Respawn has neither the influence nor the money to force steam to disable controller settings.
respawn plays by the rules of steam and not the other way arround.
i mean they could’ve thought about that problem when they shipped the game to steam but they didn’t care.
is it cheating ? Don’t know every steam player has access to it, and since it’s used by the platform I wouldn’t bet that people get banned for it.
So no there is no collaboration going on, it’s a steam feature that steam advertised and put development time into, but not just that, it’s actually a quite good feature with a lot of complexity possibilities and detail… for steam this is a business investment, because it makes people use steam instead of a different client. There will be something in the contract about it, and altering a contract like that isn’t that easy 😉
and for what ? Because some people use some movement techs ? Ain’t happening sir
btw tapstrafing with controller even with steam settings is not even close to as good as with mnk… with controller its very unprecise
