Ubisoft sees ‘major reduction’ in Rainbow Six Siege cheaters thanks to XIM detection (www.theverge.com)

For the uninitiated: XIM is a tool used to play console shooters with a mouse and keyboard and fake them as controllers, essentially giving them an unfair advantage in competitive shooters on console.

Ubisoft implemented a super effective way to counter XIM called "Mousetrap" a while ago. It slowly adds more and more input delay if you're playing with a XIM and tons of people have been sharing clips of players clearly trying to use it and having a 200ms+ delay in their actions and playing like they're drunk. It's quite funny.

That’s a lot of effort. Why not just add native mouse support. Those who want to compete can stay competitive or drop in rank.

The twist here is that the last game I played with mouse and gamepad support on a console was dominated by gamepad players since mouse users didn’t get aim assist.

R6 doesn't have aim assist on console. Having mouse support would put everyone else at a disadvantage.
