Not proud of this part of my history but in Counter-Strike: Source, you could replace the game textures yourself and re-skin the entire game! This was done mostly so people could rock their own client-side gun skins (Before actual implemented skins were a thing!)
Anyway, people realised you could make ANY texture custom. Who's to say those walls wouldn't look better transparent? I created a _ton_ of transparent textures with different colours and what not and packaged them into a .zip with a $ attached. Didn't expect much because all of this was available for free by many other provides but I pulled in about $15k for an afternoon's job.
Valve eventually released the sv_pure server command which would force Valve textures on their servers, fixing the issue. Because this was a custom texture hack, it was rightly undetectable by VAC and therefore no bans were issued.
Anyways the point of this is there's a lot of money in it for the cheat devs. They aren't going to stop. I really hope a new innovative solution comes along that puts an end to it.
