Anti-cheat incompatibility on Linux is unacceptable from game developers and publishers — and Rocket League just proved why (www.techradar.com)

Using GTA online as an example of anything secure isn't great, given it was losing to cheat engine early on. Surely if they put any effort into anticheat at all, cheat engine would fail

I was using it as an example of a huge failure. They added anti-cheat recently. After a decade. And I’m pretty sure it’s one of the kernel level ones…

They may have even avoided adding it because they didn’t want to piss off users with kernel level. And they didn’t want to spend the money on dedicated servers. But who knows why they let it be a hackers playground for a decade.

So they didn’t do what is claimed to be the right path. And my point was developers don’t want to spend the money on the right path.

Where did I suggest they were an example of good security?!

As far as I know GTA Online does not work on Linux anymore, so it probably is.
