    Games should make hacker servers or hacker zones where it’s free for all to change your game however you want it. I understand the fin in changing the gameplay of a game to make it new.

      I would love a sneaky anti cheating system, where if you are detected the game behind the scenes starts making everyone else’s shot at you 100% headshots 😂 so there you are, trying to cheat, but you can’t get a single shot off because stray bullets are just homing at your noggen!

        I love the hilarousness of the idea, but unfortunately aimbots can just auto-fire at the first pixel, while humans won’t even register that you appeared for “long” milliseconds. However, if the game can force other people’s shots at you then I guess it can also force your shots to miss.

        Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.

      Some already do. You have what’s known as “cheater ques” or “cheater lobbies” where cheaters get shadowbanned to only play against other cheaters

        Problem is, players reporting other players puts them along with the cheaters in the shadow ban servers. I’ve been shadow banned a number of times and it’s not fun and I don’t cheat.

      Matchmaking works best when as many people as possible are in the pool to join your match.

      Having everyone in the game on the official servers is the way to go and nobody should be modifying the game. It’s unfair.

        I feel like the suggestion is more about harm reduction. If you can’t get the cheaters to behave, quarantine them.

        I’d rather the freedom of dedicated servers, playing how we want and long after they abandoned the game or disabled matchmaking.
