    It’s not like they’ve stopped selling those. This is interesting on a philosophical level though.

    This would be clearly illegal as a software. But what if the hardware includes it? How do you even detect that?

      You don’t detect it (at least not very well), and cheat hardware isn’t new.

      This pushes games further toward kernel level software that has complete control over your computer so it can scan your hardware to make sure you aren’t using a cheating tool like this monitor.

      change game making philosophy obviously. but this is not going to be widespread enough to be a concern probably.
