    It also doesn’t work. I know that’s what the parent comment said, but it’s a total scam at the company level too.

    “Oh, server networking is hard to do right. Let’s do it client side”

    “Oh, people are cheating. Let’s add anticheat”

    Ensue 3 years of fixing network consistency bugs and playing whackamole with cheaters

    I’ve developed games where the client is the source of truth, and games where it’s the server. It is almost always better to do anything that will be developed for more than a few weeks serverside.
