Imo none of this is even remotely news to me, one of LTTs most popular videos is that "I've never been this angry at someone and fired them before" where he had taken some new guy to go to his house and install a bunch of writing and stuff, totally outside any and all expectations of his job, and he'd done a not so stellar job, and it's like, what did you expect? He's not an electrician, he was like some sort of video editor or something? And you're the fucking CEO? How do you think the guy felt? Oh right, you don't give a single fuck. I don't know man, that's giving of some small business owner psychopath vibes.
Most games do have exclusive fullscreen which doesn't suffer from this problem most of the time, but depending on how the game handles alt-tabbing and such, it might not be an ideal solution

So back when I wrote this program, I promoted it on reddit and discord and other places. I figured since their days are probably numbered, I'd share it on here as well.
Basically, a couple years ago I wrote a program that locks the cursor to any fullscreen window while that window is in focus. This is handy for games if you have multiple monitors, as some games don't lock the cursor, or instead of doing the right thing (issuing a win32 call to lock the cursor to the window of the game while it's in focus), they have come up with their own shitty hacks, such as recentering the cursor every 50ms (looking at you, CSGO...) which works great until you need to hit a flick, drag your mouse a long way very quickly, and instead of nailing someone in the head, you end up alt-tabbing and losing the round.

It's free of course, in any sense of the word.
Enjoy!
