@LisPi @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @navi well, okay, i don't actually play videogames that much, so i don't really know what the state of it is (nor do i actually care about controller button layouts, tho i like their shape ^^;). but for something like splatoon, so much of the game is based on the opponent being hard to see, with barely noticeable changes in the ink. the client has to know where the person is to produce those changes, so knowing the position is absolutely required. and playing against someone to whom the rules don't apply would be miserable.

i think that warrants anticheat/remote attestation. like, i think splatoon as it is would be impossible otherwise, and i think restricting how games can be made would be the wrong approach here, cause with the suggested alternatives, it would just be a different experience.
