@ron_mckenzie_@robertgraham@thedragonLML Damn, wasn't familiar with your game then. You'd give up your startup ownership, get paid less than 0.1x the speculative value of it (for which you'd then also need to pay actual income tax on) and that's assuming you manage to sell it in time, or else stay bankrupt forever.
@ron_mckenzie_@robertgraham@thedragonLML If you had a tiny startup that suddenly got swept up in "the current thing" and got valued at 1 billion dollars, would you be willing to pay taxes on the "effective income" you've just received? A small, one time tax of 50 million, perhaps?
@speech_ka_@ThePrimeagen Let the editor syntax highlight keywords or put two spaces before `or_break` for obvious separation. Fix without extra semantics.
@verymidengineer@TimSweeneyEpic Valve has not even hired as many employees as Epic fired, so by that metric Valve is even more evil as they're not sharing the bigger pile of cash.
@cmuratori Congrats on the first part, but do know that if you want to continue you will have to look up a thing on the internet. There is a dedicated website for exactly that one thing that lets you solve part of it yourself.
@rfleury If your answer is "just don't use such techniques" then again, I'd remind you that a lot of non-intrusive methods were tried and, according to anti-cheat developers, are not enough. The burden of proof that they're wrong is on you then.
Every bit that is sent to your machine is yours to keep and inspect. That is true and virtuous, especially in the context of draconian DRMs. No company should have a say in that. That's the mission of FUTO and I'm all for that.
It doesn't matter. Everyone should be allowed to access the memory on the computer they bought to play your games with. It's their computer not yours.
Stop doing these things.
I'm good enough at shooters where when I sit down and play a matchmade game, I'm getting pitted against cheaters, if the anti-cheat is not strong enough. It's not fine if the game is unplayable due to cheaters and not a company.
That's why it's a miss @rfleury.
@rfleury@riotgames So what is relevant then? Cause to me, you're reducing an entire problem space into one singular detail.
Cheating is irrelevant, solutions are irrelevant, optionality is irrelevant, previous work is irrelevant, lies about PCs being bricked is irrelevant.
