AFAICT any modern multiplayer games use a central node that forces a coherent state of the world on all clients, otherwise cheating through desync becomes a serious problem. (Trusting clients in adversarial transactions, like deathmatch, is hard in general: cheating through altered rendering also used to be a thing.)
