Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It's not like they've stopped selling those. This is interesting on a philosophical level though.
This would be clearly illegal as a software. But what if the hardware includes it? How do you even detect that?
You don't detect it (at least not very well), and cheat hardware isn't new.
Where my game genie lovers at.
This pushes games further toward kernel level software that has complete control over your computer so it can scan your hardware to make sure you aren't using a cheating tool like this monitor.
The funniest part is league of legends literally added kernel level anticheat today with the new season.
Yeah, I really want to be wrong here...
change game making philosophy obviously. but this is not going to be widespread enough to be a concern probably.
