Would be a shame if this led to all online gaming littered with microtransactions going the way of the dinosaurs.
I would love if sports gaming got back to its roots and wasn’t reliant on gambling addicts and microtransactions to generate revenue.

You will eventually lose more players by not addressing the cheating problem. What I'm worried about is games like Fortnite, COD, etc are massive and they don't do a good job of handling cheats. What can you honestly expect out of a much smaller company? I don't think the answer is for gaming companies to try to ban the device but rather ban the users using them.

@DemIsE4_XBL there has to be a way to detect a device being used there just has to be.

As I've said before, a Microsoft executive said years ago that all gaming companies have the tools to detect these. Can't find the executive's quote but found this:
Yes, Microsoft has, on multiple occasions, indicated that they provide tools and technologies at the platform level (via APIs or system-level integration) to help gaming companies detect cheats.

Likely for most companies. It is a constant battle especially for games like Fortnite and COD with heavy populations. It takes a lot of resources to combat these. Once you ban the device, they find a workaround within days. I think the Playstation ban lasted the longest and that was less than a week.
I still think targeting the individuals using them with a hardware ban is the best bet for now until Sony and Microsoft realize most gaming companies don't have the resources. I don't have any idea though how this would work. Not sure if you need approval from Sony/Microsoft to ban the hardware but I would also think you would need the proof to cover your [censored] from a lawsuit by a cheater for a hardware ban. As you can see, even this would take resources and SDS is a pretty small company.
In all fairness to SDS, they really haven't had an issue with cheaters until the last few years. Those being pitching with a certain device and I saw some of these but not too many. Now, they are obviously getting more sophisticated with this newest one. It will only get worse if nothing is done. This one going around is literally a game breaker. I am quite certain I have seen it twice in the last 3-5 ranked games that I actually played and I am sitting around the 500's.
This is why I have always said Sony and Microsoft should just add a few dollars to their subscriptions and use that solely for cheat prevention. I don't think a majority of gamers would have an issue with this if it cleared up this problem and it would be no additional cost to Sony and Microsoft. Win-win. Blows my mind this hasn't been done.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN
Not all of those people are cheating on MLB The Show, the server has cheaters from a ton of games, but it is definitely concerning that the cheating discord is picking up The Show -
TheRupster12_XBL I mean just a matter of time till its catches and spreads like wild fire. If sds doesn’t have an anti cheat or any attempt to stop it what so ever here soon we are in the final days of this game being playable. I give it till June let’s say another month if not changes are made.

I'd like to watch content creators but that would cut into my watching paint dry time.
And my video game playing time.
