That’s still not gonna help at all. There are already hardware cheats using an nvidia jetson nuc, an hdmi splitter, and a usb interceptor plugged between mouse, keyboard and computer.

Using just image recognition and slight adjustments to your mouse movement you can already get an impossible to detect aimbot.

Now the real question is: why are cheats bad? If a cheater is flying in godmode, sure, that ruins the game. But if the game forces cheaters to play the same way top human players are playing… If you can’t tell the difference, does it matter?

By just running all simulation server side and banning superhuman reactions you can easily ban all superhuman cheats. Matchmaking will just sort players by skill and you’ll have a peaceful game again.

If you’re playing chess, you don’t know if your opponent uses a chess computer or not. And it doesn’t matter. The game is still fun.
