    I think serious cheaters are using secondary devices to cheat now. Like getting DMA card and paying a cheat provider. It’s really crazy the lengths cheaters will go to. At that point it seems what is fun for them is more finding exploits and seeing how long they can go undetected like the very twisted version of modifying cars with how expensive it is.

      I’m honestly tempted to get back into the game just to figure out how to cheat now. All the added anti-cheat stuff makes it a much more interesting challenge, and I do have the right skillset to tackle this. It would tie in nicely with some of my research projects too.

      There’s also those in for the profit (winning competitions) and a fair amount of attention seeking on Twitch because a lot think better score = more viewers.

        Better score is more viewers, of course.

        Did you try watching a silver stream? It’s unbearable.

        Yeah seen the streamers who got exposed on YouTube. Claiming it’s all skill until they accidentally reveal their cheat overlay then start claiming they got hacked or its their roommate who messed with their PC.
