I've seen this whole song and dance play out before with bots in Rocket League, and it eventually destroyed the game for 18 months once they breached containment for malicious purposes...
I pray VGC does not fall down the same path... but I dont know how we avoid it...
I think the future is really scary. Pokemon was separate from that, now it isn't. Maybe we were lucky to have it as long as we did.
vgc has been changing a lot recently, sadly mostly in ways that don't appeal to me :(
