> figuring out how to ban the specific cheats that have the largest userbase This works great, but holy cow is it an art, especially with free games. VAC bans players a random time after they cheat (more than one month), so they never know which cheat got them caught. They also have crowdsourced moderation using replays. Daybreak can somehow track bans across new accounts, but how they do this is a closely guarded secret (for obvious reasons). Yet there are still cheaters in all these games. > Why is suing cheaters They are suing the people who make the cheat mods. Cut the cheats off at the source, then you can ban players using known cheats while worrying less about new cheats entering the market and circumventing detection.
