It’s only currently planned for PC, with no controller or console plans yet — and Mountaintop won’t necessarily allow Steam Deck to join. “Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector, and I think our anti-cheat systems may block it right now,” Mountaintop CEO and cofounder Nate Mitchell tells me.

And besides that, it's not like you COULDN'T write a fairly capable and cross-platform anti-cheat...

I'm no fan of kernel level anti cheat either, but that "capable" anti cheat still sucks. At this point, I'm convinced that good anti cheat is actually impossible, so you may as well just not put it in the kernel. There are so many ways to cheat that an anti cheat will never detect.

doesn't even need AI, current real triggerbots only need a small area around your crosshair and use color information to determine whether you should shoot or not.
