Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they’re adding that in though which might make it playable.


Would be completely illegal in countries with gdpr. I’m a programmer and can tell you every company takes that super seriously.

You have to agree to be tracked. Most people just do it without thinking.



They don’t have to be faster than humans though. Again it’s the whole cat and mouse thing.

Kernel level anti cheat could detect the app sending the mouse messages or detect non hardware messages and would have rendered them absolutely useless. Could also detect things reading apps pixels which is how they functioned.


Again this happened in RuneScape with the auto clickers. Every time they get better at detecting them the hackers get better at hiding them. You just start throwing on a few miss fires and they’re back to square one. It really isn’t as simple as you describe or they would do it.


Bots just get around that by adding random amounts. We learnt this with RuneScape lol

Also in a fast paced FPS they aren’t going to hit the same spot from the same position repeatedly.




The issue is that without it cheating is so much easier in many games. So then people just get pissed at all the hackers.


This will be the big test of if being brought out will help them.

They’re sitting on such amazing IPs but have just fucked everything recently. Except diablo 2. That was great.

I live in hope as warcraft is still my absolute favourite game series.


Stardew valley is just fantastic and still receiving free updates.

Grim dawn is an amazing diablo2 style arpg. The dual class system means it has huge replayability. Still getting updates and very reasonably priced dlcs.

Kenshi is a unique gaming experience. If you can get past the jankiness it’s an amazing open world squad game with no story or objectives as such. The story of your characters emerges from the things that happen as you play. Like getting enslaved etc.


At the end of the day web sites cost money. There needs to be a way to fund them.

People 100% aren’t going to pay to access every random website they want to visit. So what you’d end up with in a world without ads is only the big corporations being able to run a website.

Back in my day (lol) ads were based on the website not the user. When you set up ads you selected keywords for your website and those were used to select ads.

Like you’d visit a programming blog and get ads for computer games and porn. Made total sense. You’re still targeting your target audience just not the individual.

Targeted ads are obviously way more effective and therefore generate more money. But it’s not the only way.

The alternative is to set up some system where you pay a monthly fee and it’s divided amongst the websites you use. But that seems like an equally bad privacy nightmare.
