alt Hacker NewsYou are looking completely wrong at this. There is no anti-cheat that cannot be bypassed. Period.
You can always run things in a VM, you can always replace your keyboard and mouse with a different device, you can always have your a camera instead of human eyes and have something that recognizes enemies.
Even cheat detection in the real physical world (sports, chess, etc.) is not a completely solved topic.
You can connect computers to other computers so other computers will always be able to control them.
The idea that any (currently realistic) cheat prevention is unbypassable is silly.

The idea that anti-cheats don't make sense because they don't catch 100% of the cheaters is what's silly, who believes that? Not even the people writing these anti-cheats believe catching 100% of them are possible, why are you under the assumption that others think that's possible?
If it removes 80% of the cheaters from the game, the experience goes from "Holy shit lets leave" to "Ok, bothersome, but fine", this is what they're reaching for, not some fantasy utopia that you seem to be under the impression is the target.
