paywalling sounds great until you realize that a lot of games are paywalled anyway lol

Talso the part where not everyone has that kind of money in the first place
Pi know a guy who easily made five figures repackaging a basic exploit and selling it for a one-time purchase of $30 to script kiddies
Pthe money is insane
Tive never paid for a hack and i do not understand doing so if there are free ones that do what you need anyways
CAll in all, the main advantage of cheaters isn't that they have physical or kernel access, but the fact that they're not the developer - so they can think of things the developer couldn't and have never conceived.
In that sense, I think it should be seen as regular software security, something like CVEs, big bug bounties and things like that

Trunescape has manual live reviews
Pfree ones are just there to give you a taste for it, get you banned, and make you come back with better paid shit out of spite
CCurrent bug bounties as far as I'm aware are for malicious exploits of the system, not cheating in the game itself
H^^
Pthere is a whole market designed around this lol
Tyes involve the community more
Pand these companies in china making the cheats
Pthey aren't losing money when they get patched from one game, they're often repackaging the same shit for ten games at a time
Ptheir programmers aren't stupid
Pthey get paid just as well as anticheat developers
Pprobably more
Ti remember watching a video from piratesoftware explaining how he would figure out ways to stop cheaters
Panticheat doesn't have a lot of foot traffic compared to cheating
SHas the vrr been fixed yet on the ally?
Hjagex experimented with "ai" banning many years ago, there was a long period where pmods were not even allowed to mute spam bots and just let them reign free, it sucked
CHahahahaha, I just remembered - League of Legends had this community tribunal system where you got rewarded for punishing people. Not ruling correctly, specifically ruling guilty
Ti hate how spam bots are still there
Tyea and thats a good concept that can be improved upon a lot
Hthor is fun to watch but sometimes i think he just says dumb shit with a smart face and knows it, but does it for higher viewership numbers anyway
Pwhat the fuck? no wonder osrs was a spamfest for so long
Hkinda unrelated but yeah
Ti mean like he mentioned adding a single rock in the path and would catch a ton of bots just running in place
Pi would see pmods shitposting at the GE right next to literal gold seller bots and stuff
CGame cheating hackatons would be really cool
Hnah it's not about that xd
T?
Ti didnt say permanent solutions, just solutions
CMaybe that's not the right jargon for it, but I mean it as penetration testing with teams competing to cheat and to stop the cheaters
Pthis is literally how influencers get popular btw
Hi mean yeah xd
Pthis would be good internally at companies to figure out what is fucked with their game architecture
Pbut generally the developers i know
Pand this is between us
CSoftware companies do this all the time I believe
KI only watch Linus to occasionally see him drop a $4,000 prototype
Pwe cooperate with a lot of cheaters specifically because they are the guys who can help us fix these problems
KAnd every time he doesn't drop something expensive I'm left disappointed and unamused
Pnot every cheater is just an evil prick
Psome of them we do talk with a lot to figure out what issues exist
Hhow about him dropping to tty that one time
KHoly fuck
Hhuh 
Pit pays to keep in mind a lot of people writing their own cheats are just hobby developers like a lot of other people and they're not necessarily trying to make a statement or earn money from what they do
Happarently i made kyle laugh very hard
