How would you solve video game cheating? Cheating at the moment is being normalised and in say 5 to 10 years it will be seen as normal to cheat in video-games.
No anticheat so far works properly. Punishing cheaters by law? It's a slow and tedious process. I'm want real applicable solutions not "muh public execution"

If you're trans you can do whatever you want.

Cheating is a culture issue done by people of low value.

I want solutions

the best you can do is a locked down operating system but nobody wants that, stuff like apps on the google/apple store are secure by default because you can't do shit to it.

I want that, knowing that I can play a fair game, but with these new AI hardware hacks I don't see how that'll be a way to fix things. What do you do if your monitor gives you on screen "hints"?

The law won't help because third world laws won't stop third world cheaters, and its not like the justice system in the developed world would be good enough anyway.
The only consequences that can reliably stop this is to remove the offenders in a way that cannot be circumvented by just making a new account, new machine, or changing IPs.
Public executions, and they need to be grandiose to make an example of them. Not something quick like a firing squad or guillotine or "clean" like a lethal injection. Get some medieval shit going. Hell, make the punishment have karmic irony to it: have them get killed by robots.

Do you all reckon that Internet cafes will return and that we will all flock to LAN where we can quickly find cheaters and play in a truly secure environment?

Require people to submit identifying documents on account creation, pursue legal action if they cheat. Done.

Don't move the goalposts

I said this in my original post

They’d find a way to bypass that, cheat devs are honestly impressive if they weren’t providing such a blight id almost respect the innovation, the main issue is that cheaters will shill out upwards of thousands just to cheat, some code monkey is probably putting his kids through college just by making your experience worse and they’re not gonna stop while the money is constantly flowing.
It’s honestly genuinely concerning how much money someone will throw to just cheat.
still remember the story of that one guy that would spend ridiculous amount just to cheat in overwatch, back when it had decent anticheat it’d tag your hardware and address so the guy kept getting new rigs and staying at hotels with decent internet, just to cheat, repeatedly being banned, buying a new copy of Overwatch as well. It was insane to read

Abolish any kind of matchmaking, and bring community servers back.
We know who to rangeban and what hacking looks like.
No one asked for corporate dumbasses to waste dev time on overly convuluted solutions like anticheats when the community has this shit already figured out 2 decades ago.

With all these community servers thing i actually wonder if there's still people that want to go through all that hazzle
