Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 9 hours agoI get what drove us here. When you find a game that speaks to you and it’s got a ranked mode with good matchmaking, it’s easy to get lost in match after match, and cheaters can take the wind out of your sails. My competitive games of choice are fighting games, which are mostly free of cheaters and this invasive anti-cheat, but I’ll be bummed if it becomes the norm, because I won’t participate in that.

Are input macros considered cheating or accessibility tools? I like the idea of learning fighting games, but with my thumb injuries, I literally can’t do the key inputs.
I assumed key input macros would be banned, so I never looked into this as an option. I remember hearing about upset when even official pressure-sensitive input controls on DoA3 were banned in a major tournament in that game, let alone custom input macros.

People have all sorts of custom controllers with different button layouts. There are tournament legal requirements, but you’re unlikely to violate them if you don’t know what they are, and it hardly matters if you’re playing from home.

Have you tried foot pedal? I wonder if that is allowed in tournaments.
