Glenn Fiedler, an experienced video game networking coder and long-time programmer, has issued a damning appraisal of The Division's problems with exploits and glitches.

I don't see the problem here.
Some software houses investigate play styles based on user reports, and if determined to be cheaters, then ban them and close their accounts - or isolate them one way or another. They also fix things when damage was done by cheaters.
This is already being done today - within the server-side trust model.
Because you can cheat the servers, too.

The client-side trust model does not exclude the possibility of validation.
So, I say: trust, but validate.
When validation fails, auto-flag the user for investigation and determine whether he's cheating or not, than take action.
Period.

Now, there is a way to implement this right, without glitches, bugs and so on, but since Ubisoft has been mentioned, I doubt that will happen. These folks could not even get their store right - seems to me they know very little of networking (as Glenn pointed out).

you're not going to stop cheating on PC and they will not invest the money even if they could. and they only go after public/free cheats. still paid for cheats and they are not going to waste time with those. Nobody will. PC is and has become a joke of a platform for gaming. I don't touch mp fps and steer clear of anything mp really.
