More and more i believe per hour payment would be best option for gaming. Not a MMO style subscription but literally a per hour cost. If many people play, they also pay for the large bandwidth cost. Problem is then they don't get 60$ from everyone for a shit game no one plays past 10hours.

You sound pissed, are you OK? You need somebody to talk about it?

I'm packing it all under the bundle of "games makers" because for the end user, it doesn't really matter who the publisher and who the developer is. The relationship is simple. They, the "makers" want xx money from us, the "consumer". And in exchange they promise "xx" quality. When they don't meet a certain standard of quality we need to stop paying. Regardless of weather the game was made by a single dude and self published, or by a team of 100 Chinese programmers through three levels of publishing and outsourcing.

I'm not going to be fixing any issues my self, the issue could be fixed if gamers weren't a bunch of shiteaters. Case in point:

I'm currently playing Armored Warfare. I haven't noticed any cheating being done ever. I get bored a bit and install War Thunder, and notice cheating. I check the replay, and yeah... my team keeps getting one shoted from a cross the entire map without even being spotted. Other players around that guy aren't shooting because they cant see shit since they don't hack. I do a quick google search, and immediately find hacks for sale and youtube videos from the hack makers showing how they work, as well as hundreds of people complaining about the issue. The game completely ruined. I uninstall the game immediately and go back to Armored Warfare. The people behind the FTP aw got 60$ from me, the people behind FTP WT got nothing from me.

Other gamers, when they are unsatisfied with the quality do this. This is just an example of course but it makes my point. Bad quality keeps happening because gamers chose to eat shit while talking tough. Its all about the money. If money flows ether way, bad games will be made because its easier and cheaper. I can't do anything on my own.

Wtf are you talking about, that's precisely what i said. Game makers being cash grabbers that don't actually care so they lie about putting in the effort instead of diverting man-hours to fix the issue. Its literally what i wrote.

So how come AAA titles are still full of blatant hackers despite developers always claiming they are dedicated to eradicating hackers?

The only logical answer i could think of is that they are full of shit when the make those kind of statements and don't actually care since you cant prove they didn't invest manpower into combating it. So they just ban the few ultra-obvious cheaters posted to YouTube with video proof to calm the community while refusing to develop the game for anti-cheating right from the start with appropriate man hours spent on the effort.

So basically, i'm stuck with cheater scum until i'm 90 years old. Cool.

And the financial investment would probably also reduce the numbers, since someone would have to develop the AI, and everybody would need a CC.

But doesn't that mean that all computing and rendering would have to be done by the server and you would be just receiving a video stream. The game devs would have to pay for massive hardware for each player then?

Tho that would require much improved internet ?

I know that developers are usually combating cheaters by making various things server side instead of client side, but its never enough.

Maybe you can elaborate.

I've been doing that so far but i wanted the ability to easily shuffle things around when i mess up.

I found a few programs but they were all niche and because of that, up to a thousand bucks, yet not available at torrent. Ended up using draw.io that @Gamio suggested. It's not super automatic but once you create a few templates, its easy to work with.

Looks cool, I'll see if i can find something more "automatic" this week, if not it would actually do the trick even tho its not really made for this purpose. Think i could make it work. Tnx.

Unreal is primarily C++
