Especially if cheaters are a relatively small minority of users. Like I mean, this is probably way low compared to reality, but imagine you have 1% of users are cheaters, and the anticheat thing has an accuracy rate of 99%, then I think that means about half of the people it nabs will not be cheaters . . .

Meanwhile, I find it odd that they called this thing "Javelin". Like, it's the wrong metaphor. Javelins are attacking, piercing things, whereas anti-cheat is supposedly a defensive, shielding type of thing. If they called it "Pavise anti-cheat" or "Crenelation anti-cheat" I'd understand.

I do definitely wonder . . . if this ACE thing works by whitelisting, and if the people who make it are incompetent (which it kind of seems that way--like, if you're going to whitelist the Steam Deck, how hard is it to find out what models of Steam Deck there are and make sure they're all whitelisted?), then . . . how hard is it going to be for someone to make a little package that tells ACE your Linux machine is a Steam Deck?

The Turpentine Gun seems like a shoutout to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Is it just me, or does "Funcom" sound like it should be the evil government in some bizarre dystopia?

Roughly Victorian era series of murders and it's not happening in London? Is that even allowed?!

Everything needs to be UE5 these days because everyone's dumping Unity over certain shenanigans. And lots of people aren't ready to go to Godot, let alone other open source engines; in some cases, Godot may even not be ready for their project.

You start with 7 dwarves. But do you start with Snow White?

@g000h: A lot of these studios may be better off reliving old glory than creating new suckage.

This reminds me of a bit I ran across recently.
Vampire is putting the bite on a victim in a library.
Librarian: "What do you think you're doing?"
Points to sign saying "No food or drink in the library"
Vampire: "Sorry, sorry" (starts dragging victim out)
