Eye training app with server creating parameters of the next training session (based on the whole training history and some data analysis magic). If you want to get a training seasion that doesn't fir your real results — go ahead, we don't care.

What I'm trying to figure out isn't the business option where it's ok, but the business where you actively are avoiding doing it.

You can handle orders of magnitude more users with the same hardware if you don't have to run the game simulation on the server.
Right now I'm working on an app where we trust the client. We know that a hacker can compromise a client and send any kind of bogus data, we're just completely OK with it from business perspective.
