I mean at some point the normies are gonna have to ask themselves how monitoring "hateful content" benefits them in any way and start to push back, right?
Not sure if normies will ever. Like the anti-cheat/drm slowing machines. It maybe up to the autists to make alternatives like games viable on Linux or develop cracks/workarounds.
Given how invasive the DRM and anti-cheat now is it's even more of an issue than before that it affects performance on games. I also hate how the state of the servers clearly seems to affect loading times depending on the game which is definitely true of GTA V, I hadn't put two and two together on that.
No joke, you see normies in youtube comments recommending shit like FaceIt and praising it. If I do any sort of multiplayer now I'm isolating it on a second machine likely so that they can't do real damage. These are the same sort of retards who will sit there going "I don't care if they look at my cat videos" when the intelligence agencies are inevitably trawling through their porn history and searching for spicy comments they've made about trannies or migrants. One thing I've been learning about the normie mindset is if they think it can potentially fix a problem they have they will accept it no questions asked because to them whatever they sell in return is worth it.
I don't understand the point of layering in memory hogging anti-cheat software. All you need to do is have a system where if an account gets enough complaints about cheating it gets flagged and only ever plays against other people with the same flag.
Just vector all the people using aimbots and seeing through walls into the same matches so they can enjoy each other's company.
That stops working as soon as the chinks show up. They get their clan alliances to mass report people that they don't like. Games that implement report flagging like that inevitably end up with only Chinese cheaters playing.
I politely told a chink teammate to stop camping and move up in Warthunder and got a chat ban for my efforts.

Absolutely not. Those systems are beyond easy for bad actors to take advantage of. "Oh, you beat me? Well, me and my friends all just mass-reported you as a cheater, enjoy!" And asking for manual review is pointless because the people they have doing the manual reviews (if there are people doing it, it's probably automated systems) don't care.
Honestly, the best way to do it is to just do privately hosted servers/games and kick people you don't like. Would fix virtually all problems that are cited as issues in multiplayer games. But that's too easy and not profitable enough a solution.
Another thing as well is the amount of bots and general exploiting going on as a result of not just steam markets but general micro-transactions. If the devs of any of these games are serious about fixing anything long term and making sure games stay as games they would have to do the very unpopular thing of simply shutting down the markets entirely and only making it so that people can directly purchase items from their store.
This is being generous though and assuming they actually give a fuck about gaming and aren't just blatantly taking advantage of peoples' addiction problems and whales to farm as much as they can before finally retiring. The main reason there are so many bot players or chaters on places like CS:2 is because of the trading market. Depending on the drop rate of everything it's potentially worth it for them getting banned and simply getting a new account made in five seconds to continue the process all over again.
Any game that does have micro-transactions forward cannot be acquired through game time or player actions, I'm completely against it now after seeing exactly how it's exploited, especially that stupid banana game.
Eh, it wouldn't take a very sophisticated algorithm to detect groups of people consistently voting as a block or people accusing everyone who beats them of cheating. That sort of pattern recognition is actually one of the areas machine learning excels in it.
20 people who consistently play together and consistently flag the same people as cheaters can be weighted significantly differently than 20 people who have never played together before or since flagging someone.
It's just cheaper to buy a piece of off-the-shelf bloatware; the problem is that those tools will always be one step behind.
Normies are the frogs in the pot, they'll piss and moan over this kind of bullshit and then they'll forget about it until the next round of bullshit comes along and the cycle repeats. Back in the 00's the Patriot Act was considered outrageous by lots of people, and then Edward Snowden's NSA leaks made waves too, but here we are with people voluntarily putting Alexa into their homes.
Remember when the original XBOne was gonna require players to always be online, and then pulled that back due to outrage? Yet now many AAA publishers do exactly this. It falls to autists because normies want convenience and they're terrified of looking like they're "weird" for caring so much about stuff like this, which is why SJWs always try to gaslight us into shutting up by shaming us for caring so much about something that they so don't care about that they stalk and SWAT people over it.
“Normies” are in the tiktok vortex these days. They literally don’t have the attention span for 90% of video games anymore, let alone a movie or a book. It has never been easier to seed ideas or fuel the circus. The sheep have never been more sheep.
Nah. They’re like my mother. Whenever there’s news of spying and the like she’s quick to say “well I never do anything wrong so why should I worry?” All these years and she hasn’t realized that’s the most ignorant thing one could say.

Happens every time, the cope on normie retards is incredible.

The boot time is also made worse ( twice+ as long with the malware DRM / anti-cheat).
But fear-not, kernel-level anti-cheat ( so, spyware malware ) always running even when the game is off, to the rescue!

You think you hate normies enough but you don't.
The fuck is FaceIt? First I've heard of it, looks like some kind of esports service?
I was confused too but it looks like some kind of spyware-esque Valorant style anti-cheat that's run by a third party.

Weight reports from Chinese people at 0.01 strength compared to English speakers.

Normies are brain dead. You should not assume anything of them other than mindless compliance in all scenarios.
Normies don’t push back. They’ll just move on from video games instead, which is what we’re seeing right now with console sales cratering.
“Normies” are in the tiktok vortex these days. They literally don’t have the attention span for 90% of video games anymore, let alone a movie or a book. It has never been easier to seed ideas or fuel the circus. The sheep have never been more sheep.
I'm happy about that because normies really were ruining the games industry with the kind of shit they were buying and praising.
Nah. They’re like my mother. Whenever there’s news of spying and the like she’s quick to say “well I never do anything wrong so why should I worry?” All these years and she hasn’t realized that’s the most ignorant thing one could say.
