The thing is that kind of solution only works on that kind of scale. If they get a false positive and ban someone that player can still play on other servers. If the developer gets a false positive and bans someone the player is shit out of luck...

Fair point, just sounds like a reason to me why we should lobby for regulation that forces game developers to provide us with the software to host our own servers

One of the reasons developers do not want to give you server binaries is that it makes it easier to create cheats that isn't just wall hacks.

this is why we need regulation for it
