there are arduino-based cheats now, you dont even need an expensive box, it hijacks your mouse for aimbots and such. thinking of putting one of mine to use.
Yep, this is what I was referencing in other responses. Purely from a solution perspective it is positively the ultimate "get bent" from the cheat community. Add in some randomness and suddenly there's zero difference between a 'good session' and scripting.
Next up: sorry you don't have xyz brand mice you can't play our games. Consumers get forced to buy shit they don't want or need and meanwhile the cheat / hack community release a patch to emulate it.
It's the same old cat and mouse game. There are solutions - but a rootkit isn't it.
not looking forward to mice DRM of all things. but then it will be funny to see their games wilt because most people don't own the xyz hardware they require. im willing to bet arduinos can fake hardware ids too.
