    Not that I particularly care as the few exclusives on ps5 are all arriving on pc.

    But this is gonna be hell on earth for anyone interested in competitive multiplayer games.

    And the damage to Sony might be epochal if the exploit is easy enough for anyone to do it.

      Competitive multiplayer games are already cooked on Playstation anyways since a lot of console cheaters use Cronus on PS4s that can’t detect it.

        Chronus can be detected on consoles, just not super easily. And it kinda depends on each game’s developer and their ability to implement such detections. I know that Embark Studios have said that they’ve found ways to detect such devices in The Finals.

        I believe that, while they can’t detect the actual hardware plugged into the console, they’re able to detect input patterns that would only be possible from M/K (such as 0ms AD-spamming). Of course, I can’t imagine that’s 100% foolproof on its own, either.
