And no, everywhere one has controllers and images being put out via a signal cable will it be possible to snoop the latter, compute that signal and inject signals in the former to make some sort of #aimbot even on a #console the player de-facto DOESN'T OWN by virtue of not being given control over it!

10-years later, we are here.
