If they believe it to be fraudulent, they have every right to disregard it.

Without taking on liability if they are wrong and it was not fraudulent?

I mean sure, that is how some (mostly strategy and tactical) games do it, but for an FPS, figuring out where the buffer should be would be a programmers nightmare. I guess you would have to try to calculate all possible lines of sights a player could have within some buffer time (100-1000ms) and then all players that could in theory enter them… Add physics and it is practically impossible.

Also, corner hack is useful enough and it does not address aimbot. IMO the answer is some combination of human moderation and ability to play with “friends” instead of randos. E.g. you could ask people to like or dislike a player at the end of a match and try to pair players that liked each other in the past.

That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don’t modify the game state directly.

Sad. In a way, it is amazing that The Sims 3 is 15 years old now and still, no game is able to match it.

When corporations acting in their best interest also act in the consumers best interest, the system is working as it should.

Intent matters for individuals, not for societal systems like governments and corporations. Incompetent governments/corporations need to be removed just as much as evil ones.

I was concerned with this myself and planned to just add a physical card under my phone case, but I was suprised how little difference using the card normally made.

And if you care about privacy, you probably shouldn’t make your purchases using a google app.

This is mostly because when used properly, you often may not even realize you are using blockchain. For example, your browser is using a technology similar to blockchain to detect counterfeit https certificates. You probably don’t even know about it yet it helps to keep you safe. That is how it should be used.

No they are not.

Also, KeePassXC is an open-source project that saves your password database (encrypted) in a local file. So no company can stop doing business with you. I then use syncthing to sync the database to all devices without using cloud. An excellent solution for sligthly paranoid people :D
