Stadia will have the client on their servers. How will this effect hacks and stability?

They claim they can enforce consistency among other big things like no hacks.

Do you feel this one simple change can deliver on their various claims?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Obviously hosting the game on their own servers will result in no hacks.

Simple change? Google is the only one with access to the game files. The enduser cannot hack anything.

I'm sure that's something they mentioned in the keynote.

controller sided hacks (like pixel based aimbots) will probably still be a thing.

Game exploits can still happen. Actual hacks where you run illegitimate code wouldn't be able to.

hackers will hack googles servers and turn all the rpgs into npcs

then you'll be able to have romance options with the rpg

One simple change? It's an upending of the entire gaming architecture, of course you can't hack the game when the only thing you can send is input.

I reckon eventually people will work out how to include some hack into your geolocation info you're sending etc. the data servers obviously need to know where you're accessing it from, which means you're sending some data to it.

Hopefully this means the cheating assholes from various large third party games will be a thing of the past. Play on PC if you wanna hack the game and be a general nuisance and asshole towards everyone else in an online game. Google having everything on their end should hopefully eliminate all the bullshittery that can happen with certain AAA online gaming.

"the end user can't hack anything" except there is still a chrome on my side.

There cant be hacks. there is no client.

 

[Jeffram]

Maybe they will hack the streams if others to stream snipe or disrupt their connection
