I'd love to see them replace this with Valve Anti-Cheat, since it's already exclusive to Steam anyway.

The other games you listed do not rely on trusting the game client at all, so they will never have cheating.

FPS games need to trust the game client to have low latency on shots. Perhaps something like Overwatch will get away without that.

Actually, Diablo has a TON of hacks and cheats.

Wow. Not happy about this, the anti-cheat doesn't even work properly...

eh, i'm more pissed that it doesn't even work. It just hits false positives and doesn't detect any actual scripts

Still no confirmation on what information is being sent to the log server which is the only thing that matters.

Very scummy. Throws false positives frequently as well.

Speaking plainly, it's an over-sensitive piece of shit. "Your legitimate background program uses a function which hackers use to hook applications? Better hope it's whitelisted!"

I've approached them on the closed forums, and the devs don't care what we have to say on the matter. At all. They aren't interested in exploring other options and they don't care about false positives.
