How so? There are very common aimbots based on computer vision that will work just fine on a PC with Chrome running Stadia games.

Sample naive algo:

-Get a color range (RBG) of the enemy model's head.

-Take screenshot of screen and scan for pixel in that range.

-If match, get the x,y pos of that pixel.

-Set mouse(or controller) pos to that x,y pos.

-Click

The sample code worked well enough for Blizzard to forcibly take it off the internet.

That's for aimbots. Streaming would remove a ton of other exploits, like wall hacks.

However, for the aimbots, since you are sending your input to Google's servers, they could detect the input patterns of cheaters.

Isn't that exactly what happens today on a console or a PC?

On individual boxes, with games having their own versions of anticheat detection. Not at Google scale looking for patterns across all games.

Ah, I see what you mean. That's interesting. I feel for people who'll get banned because they are too good given Google supports reputation :)

Not every game outlines the enemies in red like Overwatch. Many times, the player model heads don't have their own exclusive pallette.
