Ban 6,700 accounts for hacking cheats, game publishers are bitter, always publicizing the identity of the crooks

Hack cheat has always been a long-standing problem and it is almost impossible to have a radical solution of the world gaming village. For MMORPG or MOBA games, it’s fine, but for fighting games, first-person shooters or third-person shooters, hacking cheats can definitely be considered a nightmare for every game publisher. There have been many FPS super products that have now slipped into the cheat hack nightmare that PUBG can be considered the most typical name. Besides, also must mention Escape from Tarkov.

According to the latest statistics, despite the application of thorough prevention measures, up to 60% of the matches in Escape from Tarkov have the presence of cheats. More worryingly, even in the case of detecting a player using a hack, Escape from Tarkov’s managers still have to spend a lot of time to deal with it, instead of punishing it on the spot and this makes the players even more concerned. True gamers add to the discomfort. Recently, however, developer Battlestate Games has made more drastic moves.

Instead of silently punishing, just recently, Battlestate Games has just announced that it has banned more than 6,700 accounts with signs of cheating in the past week. Notably, this developer also made public for the first time all the identities and nicknames of the violators. This serves a dual purpose, both to embarrass them and to announce to true gamers that Battlestate Games is really working to keep the integrity of the game fair.

However, besides some meager support for this drastic move, many people have also said that this does not help too much for true gamers. It only shows the determination of Battlestate Games, but in fact, hacking cheats is still a problem that exists every day, every hour in every game of Escape from Tarkov.
