I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).
