Research into aim assist!
Ok so over the last little while I’ve been doing some unscientific research into controller aim assist. Here’s my unscientific approach…. - Load into a game and play – when deleted check th...

Th3Toppi3 What do you consider a “high profile player”?? Are you a fellow BF veteran? Or do you just think very highly of yourself? Have you seen the numbers? Corporate greed doesn’t have to care when they’re rolling in it.
Also to everyone, unless consoles start being sold with keyboards instead of controllers I don’t ever see the division between pc and console being mended to either’s liking. Enough said.
I will try to come to middle ground here...
In actuality, the easiest thing would be to stop making games with AA built in or have it only available for single player/learning the game (for example your first 50 ranks in BF6). I am pretty sure, anyone has a good grasp on the controls by that point even if you play casually, you still have X ranks until you no longer get the benefits. Hell, they can give you full on aimbot or wallhacks if they want but be ready for complaints. After those 50 ranks, the player's "assistance" does not exist. If they want it so bad, they can try a new account, I don't know... but as discussed here, companies won't do anything about it, so PC players will either buy a controller, quit altogether or cheat to compete.
I honestly think there is merit to the hypothesis there are way more cheaters in online gaming because they think 1) You can make money from it and 2) the only way to get ahead of the imbalance is by cheating.
Notice cheaters getting away with it right now are not putting up 120+ kills a game? They are trying to slip under the radar and do well enough to look good but not so good they draw attention to themselves. That is the worst kind of cheater. I would prefer someone rage hacking and just head shot everyone on the map. Easier to ban though...
EA/DICE creating a robust Anti-cheat is a great step in where gaming should go. I have spent many hours using AI to come up with solutions in the online gaming space for cheating. Companies can take measures but choose not to, they do not believe the effort to secure their game is worth the time and money investment long term. I guess they would all rather sell their copies and have the game die out and just release a "new version" of the same crap and go through the same exact process on repeat. I guess as long as we are dumb enough to keep buying it and taking the BS they're feeding us to get us excited about regurgitated slop, they have no reason to change or adopt a stronger stance against it.
They created their anti-cheat because that was a major complaint against their top competitor. Only time will tell if they are serious enough about it to continue development and innovation on it to work as good as we all hope.
