Sony update to PS5 broke peripherals
Although the news stories don’t say of it was intentional, I’m pleased to hear today that a recent PlayStation update prevents peripherals such as Cronus from working. Other games have taken steps to...

I don’t believe that the main reason devices like these are so popular is because so many people want to play MnK on console.
It’s a bit like in the past when people said they bought Playboy magazine just for reading the articles. 😏
I welcome the ban of these! One of the main reasons for me to go from PC to console at the time was the leveled playing field. A closed ecosystem giving hackers no chance, and everybody using mostly the same hardware. Unfortunately this has changed with the arrival of 3rd party and elite controllers, and it has gotten out of hand with cheating devices like Cronus. So if we can revert that a bit temporarily, hoorah!
As said before I’ve got no illusion that we got rid of it completely. The company selling these things will work to get their product working again.

They may get it working again eventually, but by that time there will be another update to block it. Anything and everything that is added to a console can and will be detectable there is no work around. The only reason why Sony did not block it sooner was, because they don't deem it a priority to stop it immediately.
Altering (or even accessing) the firmware is illegal. So, we will always know what is plugged in your console.

- @D-Man3847The same applies to PC, the real question is where is Microsoft in all this? A PC knows what is installed or plugged in. I think Microsoft could probably reduce if not outright eliminate all hacking. Using hacks should cost you your Windows licence. I’m sure the main factor is Microsoft doesn’t want the hassle, but in these days of coding and AI you can’t tell me they could stop your computer from using hack software or hardware if they chose to, and do it at the OS level.
I doubt there’ll ever be 100% cheat-free gaming, not on console either.
Some people get super creative when they can see there’s a market for a way to bend the rules.

Isn't this the truth!
Yeah, I know that's correct. Basically anything is traceable. That's where reporting comes in just keep reporting, taking the players name down yourself and see if he/she is still playing in a couple days.
I read an informative article before that said Microsoft makes money off the cheating devices. That's why they drag their feet in doing anything about it. So, they don't want to lose customers. Instead they will just do small patches here and there and stop the low level cheaters and not go after the bigger fishes.
