not so sure myself if they are getting banned I saw rampant cheaters run around doing they thing weeks later and haven't once got feedback from reporting anyone. Although, I have no idea if this is a feature yet but at least you have it in other Valve games so I would assume.

I mean, it was always an arms race. There is no need to have 100% effective protection but you should at least have decent mechanisms for detection and consequential deterrent (again HWID ban).

This is why game developers are focusing on single player and co-op content.

Not sure if we are seeing the same industry? Live service games with battlepass/cosmetics/microtransactions will still be prime cash cows aside from wildly successful SP hits (Baldurs Gate 3, Horizon series, Last of Us series). I think the churn and competition in the segment is as hot as it ever was with new entries (Deadlock???) constantly trying to be that next big thing and surely if something takes away from their desire to enter the market it is not a potential cheating in their games.

Feels like it is getting worse? Perhaps some cheats are out in the wild for free now.

I am playing very different skill brackets with separate friend groups and in lower lobbies it is quite rampant. Classic Haze/Wraith/Holliday that have very bad movement getting anywhere between 15-50% weapon crit dmg from overall in post game charts is just something that I can't believe. (looking at top eternus lobbies for weapon focused characters it is ~25-35%) Only a few times encountered extra blatant "only head", usually on/off or maybe cheat got some accuracy slider or whatever. Quite obvious on the replay.

Once had entire enemy team gang up on cheaters among them and go and throw game on purpose so they don't get a W, touching solidarity moment.

Hopefully info is being collected to get anti-cheat going but I won't hold my breath. CS is absolutely massive playerbase and cheating was not be fixed there for decades. On the other hand, Valorant and Overwatch seemed to have managed to deal with it with hardware bans and very intrusive anti cheat.

What are you experiences and expectations going forward?

relatable, I think more prevalent on lower lobbies since people don't know how to group and hit objectives properly

extra weirdness point for the fact that "sisu" means kind of persistence/willfullness in Finnish language https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sisu

also the OST by Lera Lynn is very good, still comes to me some days fun fact, in the series it was actually her playing at the bar :)

Isn't Stremio just a torrent client with integrated videoplayer and search? Kind of odd suggesting it as an alternative to legit services. Might get some less knowledgable people bonked with fines.

agree with the notion that any homebrew business is questionable but he is a mathematician

really like recent Pantheon's series take

everyone and everything is super weird and vibrant

also, moving at dramatically different speed due to difference in their budget
