I have no stake in this, but I'm just curious - are these two separate things, or is the article referring to XIM users as cheaters? From a brief read it seems that cheaters are using XIM for nefarious purposes, so XIM detection is also hitting them as well, but I want to make sure that I understand it correctly.
xim is inherently cheating as it hides the actual input method, I think it can also be used by aimbots to input inputs
I wouldn't say it's inherently cheating, like there are plenty of use cases where it's completely non-problematic (like if I wanted to play a non-crossplay game with my homie on Xbox but I prefer M&KB), but in the case of competitive titles with a low time to kill (like R6) it's hugely unfair.
