Anticheat should be handled by the games, not the console (unless the games are produced by the console manufacturer)
Comment on OnePlus update blocks downgrades and custom ROMs by blowing a fuse
Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoconsoles blow a fuse with each new patch so you can’t load older patches.
Admittedly I was unaware of this, but for consoles it can have a real functional purpose as part of the protection against cheating.

It’s an anti-piracy/homebrew feature. Realistically, nobody is using that for cheating.

No, this is done to ensure there’s no competition when selling games. Why do you think console games are pricier than PC ones? On PC we still have some competition.
