XIM, Cronus Zen, and ReaSnow S1 devices are all being used far less.
For the uninitiated: XIM is a tool used to play console shooters with a mouse and keyboard and fake them as controllers, essentially giving them an unfair advantage in competitive shooters on console.
Ubisoft implemented a super effective way to counter XIM called “Mousetrap” a while ago. It slowly adds more and more input delay if you’re playing with a XIM and tons of people have been sharing clips of players clearly trying to use it and having a 200ms+ delay in their actions and playing like they’re drunk. It’s quite funny.
As someone who used to play R6 on console, I salute the devs.
Well, the issue I think is that console players are mad that other console players are using XIM to play using different hardware (KBM). I’m just curious to see if Ubi think KBM console players are cheaters, that’s which I brought up the fightstick argument. If it XIM actually cheats for you like it pulls your screen to the targets then I get it otherwise, I’m not sure I constitute using differing hardware as cheating.

most crossplay games have an opt-out option for people who want a more level playing field. my guess is this software circumvented this option
