  • \$\begingroup\$ That question is asking for known issues and their solutions, not specific software to help with it. I don't think it's a duplicate. Plus, it's community wiki so I think it's OK. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Sean will do thanks. @coderanger it is not a duplicate, and both are community wiki this one is specific related to what softwares we have on the market, how to contact them and which features they have, the other one is about what you do as counter messures, if you just rely on a tool like these or make your own code and so forth... \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Having read both, I'll admit they're marginally not duplicates - but I'd really like to see a title change for one of them. Maybe change this question to "List of Anti-Cheat Packages for MMOs". The word solution in both is misleading (and annoying, in that software companies have decided to over-use the word solution for what is just software). \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I'd be curious if the person voting me down actually thinks this is unreasonable, or is just voting me down because it's not a "real answer" (even though my previous employer shipped 3.5 MMOs without anti-cheat packages, had our data formats cracked wide open, and to my knowledge never had anyone gain a measurable advantage by hacking the client). \$\endgroup\$
