Comment on Vanguard hits new 'bans-per-second' recordparent

How exactly do you arrive at the conclusion that it's useless? I don't know anything about the game, but if the numbers in this post are not made up, including the spike, it looks not only effective but absolutely vital for the game to be playable at all.

Hacker News has always been bad at understanding the words “mostly effective.”

An anticheat does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

A DRM solution does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

A website block does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

And so on. “There’s a workaround” != “This is therefore mostly useless.”

Otherwise, let me tell you, seat belt laws and speed limits are the most useless things ever made. The workaround is just pushing my foot down harder!

How exactly do you arrive at the conclusion that it's useless?

They just hit a new bans-per-second record?
