This is what Valorant does and just does not work. People saying "yeah game dev are lazy, why not everything is done server side" this is really a naive view of game dev.

The short version is that you can't have a great experience for online games if you try to create a client as a dumb terminal.

I didn't mean to say they're lazy. I generally dislike the studios but developers there are brillant, usually.

I was thinking that studios were being cheap. Why invest in a proper server infrastructure if you can make clients install abusive software... Maybe I'm wrong but it always looked to me that way.
