provenance of the video is next!

video and gameplay needs to leave the player’s computer simultaneously, and that player needs to provide reasonable video for all gameplay.

requiring lower mouse sensitivity and greater mouse room would improve the data quality.

with luck, it will always be cheaper to detect gen-ai video then to create it. otherwise, more evidence? higher res/fps webcams?

the cheaters have run the field long enough. time for the arms race to push back!

As a cost-to-entry for a casual player, this seems like a pretty hard sell. I'd rather just find something else to play personally, than deal with a webcam and some invasive recording situation to play.

i think the reality is that this type of player will encounter cheaters, or avoid games where cheating is possible.

any kind of anti-cheat is by definition surveillance.

the irony is that currently none of them work. all cost, no benefit.

if these webcams were at an arcade on every machine, would it be weird?

[jameslars]

It would be less weird because I'm in public with a different expectation to privacy, but your point about surveillance in general is noted.

[nathants]

for pvp competitive games where cheating is possible, you and your computer must be more public while the game is active. how else could cheating be observed?

many people already run a distinct gaming pc, either for kernel anti-cheat or other reasons.

i would prefer not to be surveilled on my iphone.

i would prefer to be surveilled while playing fortnite or tf2. along with all the other players.
