Yeah thats a thin line to walk as cronus zen helps average adults who play keep pace with even others on console who use pro controllers or controllers with additional buttons to assign actions or allow for the "turbo" fire effect which is literally just like pulling the trigger faster. They wouldnt have to buy an additional controller if they already have the zen or say if your kid breaks the Xbox thumb stick and you have a Playstation controller. You can use the Playstation controller on your xbox utilizing the zen. So would they ban xbox pro controllers too? Does this also mean they would ban steam link due to how you can customize your own controller settings in there to which you can also assign sub menus and action menus? I think the real problem to address is out of these "cheaters" how would they plan on preventing a player from utilizing a loader and injector to force data into the game that does not belong. That is actually cheating. The cronus zen does not inject code/script into a game. It literally is just a fancy remap template that utilizes the feedback from the game to help with analog input for those of us casuals who enjoy the game but are being forced to play with non stop sweats all the time due to streamers and viral popularity. So if the game does not have aim assist, then the cronus zen cannot support aim assist and if it does then it would have to be utilizing another software to inject the code into the game which would then be a completely different matter that violates user agrrements. Ultimately they will not be banning pro controller users or zen users especially once they see via whatever they use to monitor their collected data, that there is no evidence of actual manipulating current/or past game code to gain an advantage over players. The only thing the game would see is an actual analog input from the player. The whole micro macro detection is kind of just a made up thing they can say to try and make people weary of using macros on pc. Best of luck to them though. Their best chance at limiting zen or pro use is by limiting any form of aim/movement assist in game. Also if your an average player getting stomped on by sweats all the time, dont be afraid to push limits and experiment with things like the zen or steam mapping with pro controllers. Just because some streamer or kid is getting mad that other players are adapting to their no life strategy doesnt make it cheating. Actually read the agreement and you will see what they would consider as cheating with third party software. Of course they could always add to their user agreement that utilizing macros or controllers that allow macros is a soft ban followed by a hard ban if continued but thats borderline unenforceable and can lead to possible violation of user rights. I guess im ultimately writing this to express that I actually appreciate and like the cronus zen as it helps with actions in other games like call of duty with slide canceling. sorry its a bit too much for me to practice outside of work to GeT gOoD at sweat techniques and honestly to expect that of players is and will always be laughable to me and I will always pick the side of the curious gamer and or developer who wants to help the average gamer perform better to attempt to keep pace with the over abundance of streamer sweats.

Respectfully,
Some guy too tired to currently game after work but has enough energy to create an account to comment on a gaming article while watching gi joe with the wife and fur babies.

If you actually read this rant, im impressed, and your also more then likely a middle aged adult that works to hard to care about some kids personal feeling on whether or not your thumb flicks are mawk Jesus level with pin point accuracy and just want to be left alone with your devices to unwind at the end of a day with a game you actually enjoy.

Good night, sleep tight, and dont forget to read the little typing on the screens in borderlands 4 because there are some funny little snippets sprinkled around there and I want to shout out to whoever wrote the little bit thanking their family and fur babies. Also pie can be better then cake in my opinion if its frozen and then de thawed like about half way so that theres still a firm texture and all the pie filling stays in place. Hope theres not a character limit on this because that would be a bummer waste of time. Welp... ti.e to find out.
