    I have very little faith in PGI regardless of how they want to spin it. IGP or PGI doesn't matter to me. This lack of faith is based on experiences with them and observations. Its not pessimism so much as emperical evidence based on observations.

    I know someone who has played with the software, probably still does, and has not been banned. That means he hasn't been caught. Ergo either PGI doesn't care because he's high profile or PGI can't see and nobody has reported him yet.

    Either way I don't care :) I no longer have any skin in the game so whether they do or don't succeed with this initiative doesn't matter to me.

    I mean, they could be doin sweeps or somethin like that right. Layin traps. Who knows really. :speechless:

    I respect that sort of position but it is inherently cynical. Ok, or at least, cynical.

    When does a lack of faith based on previous experiences stop becoming justified and start tainting all future endeavors? :)

    I do work in software, in web security more specifically. The company I work for hires hackers to break into our stuff and believe me there are loads and loads of ways to gather information. Typically speaking, from past gaming experiences your account won't get an instaban from playing one match. It does take time to gather all the relevant information.

    Here is an interesting article from PC Gamer, they actually bought CS:GO hacks. It took them two hours to get VAC banned, if it takes value/steam/vac two hours to detect/gather evidence/issue the ban then it will likely take PGI far, far longer.

    When I start seeing something more than changing colors of the GUI ;)

    You work at a sausage factory, so it's hard for you not to be biased about meat one way or another.

    It's a Jungle out there.

    There was no bias in my post @Soy. There were no sausages either, an over sight on my part, so let me fix that for you.

    You know what I mean. You have an intimate perspective, from both a general knowledge standpoint and a career diligence standpoint, where it has an effect on your objectivity to a certain extent.
