Is it really not possible to implement server anti cheat?

btw VAC does not count as it is not effective at preventing cheaters from cheating.

    Game-makers apparently never got the memo: never trust the client. Server-side is where it is at.

    All this onerous client-side shit is just pushing away customers.

    They'd rather have control than customers. This is not about making the game "cheat free", this is about conditioning the gaming public and normalizing this behavior. Even if they lose money doing it, it's an investment in their future plans.
