@gamingonlinux you wrote #Malware wrong!

If they actually cared about #AntiCheat they'd literally do it with #DedicadedServers and server-sided!

@jorin so basically #VPS|es [and #DedicadedServers?] …

@chiefgyk3d +9001%

#ClientSideAnticheat is #malware that has no legitimate reason to exist.

We have a solution for #Cheating, and tht's #DedicadedServers and silently #ShadowBanning #Cheaters into Cheater-only Servers (as done by #FromSoftware in #DarkSouls!)...

#MicrosoftFlightSimulator2024 really shows "#ThePowerOfTheCloud" (#Azure) when it comes to #Gaming.

Or rather how to #enshittify a *"#AAAA "*game into being Andouillette-level ("#AAAAA") shitshow with #Cloud-bs welded onto it.

Noone wants "#CloudGaming" with bs like #SimCity did but rather #DedicadedServers and optional #Matchmaking ffs!

The fact that people actually paid for this is beyond me...

Andouillette - Wikipedia

@malwaretech @GossiTheDog seriously, this is worse than #SimCity and I remember the legendary #RageQuit of #Gronkh when #EA's #AlwaysOnlineDRM failed.

#Cloud = #Enshittification when it comes to #Gaming!

#DedicadedServers or #WontPlay!

@isotopp worse even: #Cloud doesn't provide #stability #safety or #convenience and is more prone to #CostOverruns than #DIY (even just using convenrional #VPS|es instead of [owned] #DedicadedServers [& Housing])…
