    well… you see back in my day we had cool bros in “clans” running their servers mostly paying for it themselves with some donations. admins would boot bad faith actors as needed.

    then something happened to that model… and here we are now… FPS genre has no been the same IMHO

      Self moderation has been way more effective at controlling cheaters than automated systems. Counterstrike did some good with overwatch and phone verification but I’ve always enjoyed manual server moderation if it’s maintained.
