This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn’t take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully… even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope…

    Developer of game ‘Rust’ talks about anticheat rootkits on Linux

    This whole anticheat thing is so stupid. Remember when Sony got sued bigtime for including rootkits on their audio CDs? Why are game developers getting away with it no problem? Society is regressing and it’s frustrating to watch.

      People are never interested in learning from history, they’d rather run face first into that wall.

      The abusers typically.did read histor, saw what worked well, what didn’t, learned from that to become even better abusers.

      This doesn’t only apply to games, it applies to politics, celebrities, religious clerks,you name it

        People are never interested in learning from history, they’d rather run face first into that wall.

        Just saw a comment in a topic about steam machines about “why do we even need to care about the past, its in the past, it doesnt matter anymore”

        humanity is devolving to a state dumber than the chimp that scratches its ass, sniffs its finger, and falls off the log in shock at the smell.
