> But you're playing with friends, right? So you don't actually need anticheat at all.

There are a lot of games out there where a group of friends parties up and then goes against other parties of friends out there. Sometimes I want to play with my friends against others instead of only against my friends. Its been a pretty common kind of game style for decades.

> I don't really understand why anyone wants to spend their time playing games with assholes from the internet.

Yeah, it'd be nice to somehow exclude those assholes who would cheat. Maybe if there was some kind of technology which could limit the ability for people to use cheats, some kind of "anti-cheat". It would probably have to be pretty low level in the system to properly enforce this "anti-cheating" integrity, maybe in the kernel and hardware level?

> And I don't want to have anything to do with people like that.

And nobody is forcing you too.

Maybe your experience and preference is not shared equally by all? HN users in particular to seem to struggle with this concept for some reason.
