I think kernel-level anti-cheat is a security nightmare, but denying there’s a genuine economic motive here seems naïve.
- imtringued 2y agoI'm pretty sure nobody plays a game that actively prevents you from playing it.
- jajko 2y agoHow do cheaters circumvent bans? I would presume you have some unique copy key which is activated, and once it gets revoked should never ever allow you to connect to their game servers. Company runs entire ecosystem, how apart from hacking their DBs you can ever get back?
- jlamberts 2y agoWith free games (which make up a pretty large portion of competitive online games), cheaters who get banned usually just make or buy new accounts.
- Spunkie 2y agoNaw this is all bullshit. If apex legends released a real dedicated server tomorrow, within a month there would be a large selection of well moderated community servers and cheaters would be mostly a non-issue. EA doesn't care to actually moderate cheating, because that either takes ongoing money to pay people or a loss of control by releasing dedicated servers. They instead just want to pay 1 time to "automate" their "solution" to cheating... even though that pretty much never works long term.
