Denuvo Launches Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection

As an iRacing customer, I am glad the anti-cheat they use, exists.

Otherwise, I would be subjected to shitty racers who would ruin every race in the first lap, and cheaters who compete on hacks instead of talent.

I am also sure there are equivalent bad apples in every single gaming platform.

Anti-cheat and DRM are not the same thing, and having community servers with admins greatly reduces the need for anti-cheat. So does not having rewards for winning other than winning.

Some crazy rose tinted glasses here. Back in the CS 1.6 and CS:S days community admins would only catch straight up rage hacks, most aimbots and triggerbots would fly under the radar unless caught by clientside anti-cheat.

But sure, we can pretend that cheaters don’t matter as long as it’s not blatantly obvious to all other players.

We used vote kick to get rid of them. The server would clear quickly if the vote failed so it wasn't a huge issue.

But there was no way for you to know if that person was just really good or using cheats with vaguely legit settings.
