Effective protection requires _some_ client-side elements.

For a game like EVE, “server-side only” anti-cheat logic can always be fooled.

The claims that e.g. it won’t work well with Linux/Mac, or could introduce bugs, can be ignored. Those are just _potential requirements on the anti-cheat system_.
