    Nobody can have proof of that, because no such proof can ever exist. How would you ever have a proven correct number of cheaters not detected?

      So what’s the point of an anti cheat then if you don’t know how many people are cheating, how many people are not, and you don’t have confidence that the anti cheat is 99% effective at the very least?

        It can be tested in closed systems but it’s not something you can easily define the success rate of because the cheats are constantly evolving and game updates close or introduce vulnerabilities.

        There is still value of having an anti-cheat even if it does not have a high chance of catching cheaters, so long as it keeps false positives to a minimum.

          “there is still value of having an anti cheat even though it does not have a high chance of catch cheaters”

          That doesn’t make any sense. LOL. What’s the value then of the anti cheat?
