While this may be a short-term fix, it won’t solve Valve’s biggest challenge: deal with the problem of cheating in Counter-Strike. Also, implementing anti-cheat measures at the kernel level is unlikely, since Counter-Strike is also available on Linux, which is not compatible with such software.
With Counter-Strike 2 fully launching this summer, Valve will need to find a way to maintain game integrity while providing a fair and fun experience for all players.
