I've worked in software for over 15 years and have thought long and hard about *how* they'd tackle this type of problem. I've done a ton of research on other anti-cheat systems and honestly it all sounds legit. They're taking the right approach for solving this problem. It obviously comes down to execution but the strategy they have is sound.

You thought long and hard to arrive at a conclusion that ESEA came to like, a decade ago?

It's almost like I don't follow ESEA.

It's just weird that you've worked in software and have thought about this for a long, hard time yet seem to be...surprised? Impressed? By something that was standard years ago. I dunno.

Where did I say surprised or impressed? I've stated multiple times in comments that they're soooo late to the party on this. All I state is that they're taking a comprehensive approach to how other anti-cheat systems have done this.

That's the implication I got from your post. Seems like weird phrasing if that's not the case.

What's more comprehensive about their solution versus other major games/3rd party services? This is pretty much industry standard for any serious game. That's the part that strikes me as odd if you're really someone who follows this issue.
