Nearly all online video games have a frustrating element called cheaters. In order to maintain a positive user experience, banning them has become a crucial routine for game publishers and creators.
A novel twist has been added to the standard procedure by the producer of the game Escape from Tarkov. Which was created by the Russian studio Battlestate Games. Escape from Tarkov Games claimed to have banned 6,700 cheaters in the previous week and to have made all of their nicknames accessible to the public on spreadsheets.
Other businesses, like the makers of Valorant and the publisher of Call of Duty, Activision. Typically only reveal the total number of players they’ve banned without disclosing their identities or handles.
Industry insiders think Battlestate Games’ strategy may be more successful and serve as a stronger deterrent.
The creation of illicit game cheats has evolved into a thriving industry. Last year, the Chinese authorities, in cooperation with the technology behemoth Tencent, disbanded a group responsible for producing cheats for the game PUBG Mobile. This organization had generated in excess of $70 million in revenue from selling these cheats.
