Faceit tf2 existed, but people had security concerns and didn’t subscribe to the idea of real skill-based matchmaking, so it was pretty much DOA.

The tf2 community itself is largely to blame for faceit’s failure.

Most players aren’t keen on downloading a private anticheat that requires administrator access. Especially when community servers like uncletopia lack cheaters and offer a similar casual environment without the need of third party softwares.

As far as I know, Faceit's anticheat is too intrusive for Valve to consider. Isn't it a software you need to download that you give root access to, meaning it can do pretty much anything on your PC if it wanted to?

IMO, replacements for casual are doomed to fail anyway. Casual is as convenient as it gets, a literal one-click solution, and you will find a match for the maps you queued for. Any replacement for casual that you need to queue for means that you have to visit an external site, wait for the queue to pop, then click on a popup because it can't connect you to the server directly. If anything, these casual replacements should at least provide adhoc connections, so you can skip the waiting and just join directly, just like any other community server.

I only use my account to log on Steam.
I do not trust external websites.
I have 5k hours in CS and never touched Faceit or a gambling website.

IDGAF about intrusive anti cheats, we need more of them. What I care about are non-affiliated randoms with my info, and you should too.
People like you are why I find it hard to pity people who cry about getting hacked.
Most of do stuff like that without thinking twice.

So only specific random people are allowed to have your information?

TF2 does not need more invasive anticheat, it's doing just fine with VAC + Human moderation.

Overall, the invasive anticheat trend we see with modern games needs to end. Client side anticheats overall are unnecessary bloatware in my opinion.

"Affiliiated"

That means, Valve is liable if something goes wrong.
As far as I am concerned, Faceit is hosted in Russia by some ♥♥♥♥ kids that I cannot sue, or not, idk, idc, don't want to risk it.

That difference is night and day and you should work on your internet literacy.
t. grew up playing Runescape in the early 2000's when that ♥♥♥♥ was the Far West.
Strangers are not your friend and they cannot be trusted behind a screen, even IRL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vanish and they don't always give you their real names.

Faceit is located in London. They host the largest competitive esports platform across several titles and multiple tournaments/majors (financially) backed by valve, Ubisoft, epic, and several other industry titans.
They merged with ESL—the largest esports organization in the world—in 2022, and are currently the premiere esports organization. They’re not randoms at all.

If you want to go schizo over an intrusive anti cheat go ahead, but accept that you’re just that: a schizo.

tf2 faceit was fine, until the community sperg it out trying to misspread information a couple years ago trying to tell "they track your pc".

I mean... the whole social media, even Steam Community can easily track you from your hwid, i don't see any issues.

On one hand, I am aware that messing up your PC with an anticheat is unlikely. On the other hand, I am going to minimize the chance of someone possibly weaponizing kernel-level applications if I can. Besides, there are reports of Riot's Vanguard intervening when certain applications are launched, despite not having Valorant or LoL open.

As harmless as it is, I have the right to not like it. At least you didn't NEED the anticheat for Faceit, unless you were suspicious or something.
