The problem isn't "how do I fix this one problem", the problem is "Why does this problem occur, and how do we stop it?" The obvious problem being "Today's platform is tomorrow's obsolete." The entire gaming industry has shifted to mobile games. Microsoft has figured out this problem on so many levels. Their fears were blown wildly out of proportion, but it shows how much influence Microsoft has on the gaming market. The whole reason Valve pushed for a Linux-based OS, is that they feared Microsoft was going to make them obsolete with the XBOX app coming to Windows 8.1. Just because Steam dominates the PC market now, doesn't mean that will be forever. If the anti-cheat is good enough, it could seriously threaten Steam. This is amazing news for game developers like myself who just want an easy solution, this pushes the VERY tough problem of sorting out cheaters on MP games on to Microsoft a giant corporation with billions to spend on R&D solutions, vs letting each game company deal with this problem. It just needs to be better than humans, which is not hard to surpass. AI doesn't need to be perfect, and it never will. The UWP anti-cheat is going to work similar to this, as you can see on their dev page, it just sends information about the game and what they're doing from a very statistical perspective. And who better to make that decision than a bot? The only true unbiased thing in the world is a computer. You could just have the bot determine if their actions are inhuman. You could even write a K-means cluster AI to figure out potential cheaters, and don't even need to rely on reported cheaters. This hasn't work for mal-ware in 20 years, IDK why they'd think it would work for cheaters today.Īnti-cheats like Warden are great, because habitual cheaters and serious offenders are easily verified as cheating given enough reports. They rely old technology like signature scan and PE heuristics to detect cheaters. It makes their job so much easier, and with Microsoft's push for the UWP, I think this is an amazing step in the right direction. Third, this is great news for developers.

Nobody cares if they collect your aim delta information and send it to Microsoft.

where is privacy ? I want to fucking cheat it's not related to anyone. Fucking hell, microsoft used to be good one day.
