Now this is the kinda AC I can get behind, not that BS kernel level shit
- I liked the whole "send cheaters to their own server shard with other cheaters" approach that showed up a while back
  
  I like this, but let me frog them first
  
  The dark souls 2 pvp tournaments held on the cheat servers were fun to watch.
It's a funny response but it also makes me sad that this game is already being infested with cheaters.
- That's sorta a given for games in alpha. It would be weird to code an extreme anti cheat when you don't have any of the gameplay systems even set in stone and tons of things can still change. A basic one works fine for now.
  
  There is no functional anti cheat system. Its an inherently unsolveable problem as long as there are private computers that are not under full company/state surveillance. This is what consoles try to be but those suck ass.
What did the frogs do to deserve this? 🐸
- First the water turned them gay, now this. Frogs can't catch a break.
  
  And before all that: The french
Ah. The ARMA method of dealing with cheaters and pirates by turning them into a random animal that can't use guns.
I approve as long as it's not broken like it was in ARMA and triggers even if you're not cheating with a legit copy of the game.
In addition to this, Valve is also becoming involved in restructuring the Wayland Protocols, called Frog Protocols.
What is the significance of the Frog?
Surely these things are related somehow?
Is anyone around that could invite me?
