The solution is simple: gaming on a separate device from your regular PC, which does not have any of your personal data to spy on. We could call it a gaming console!
People do in fact, still manage to cheat on consoles. Also, a locked down ecosystem for games is very far from a solution and comes with many of it's own drawbacks.
I’ve never heard of this. Do you have some articles?
On PC without any sort of lockdown mechanism it just becomes a Wild West. FPSes are downright unplayable. Heck, even chess has rampant cheating online.
Right so the solution is that people should own multiple expensive devices. That seems discriminatory to me
I mean I don’t play brand new AAA games. I have old consoles, I use emulation. I basically have every game I’d ever want already. Tens of thousands of games.
I don’t know where you get discrimination out of that. Only if you’ve convinced yourself that you need to play the newest AAA games, I guess.
I see lots of people playing new games, with multiplayer, on their phones. Ubiquitous computing everywhere.
