Regardless if you play online multiplayer games a lot or not, it’s no fun having to play against cheaters. Sad to say though, there will always be those who not only cheat in online games, but also profit from it by selling cheats. Well, thankfully, the story we’re running now mentions how this kind of individual can be deterred to the point that they stopped.
Over on the Apex Legends subreddit, user microKEEL posted a blow by blow account of an Apex Legends cheater — who streamed and bragged about his cheating — get banned, taunt Respawn, get banned again, until he stopped!
Respawn Entertainment Associate Producer Josh Medina even hopped on the subreddit saying that this was how he spent his 45 minutes this morning (from banning this dude again and again).
Hopefully, this dude just stops his cheating ways, though it’s highly unlikely. If that’s the case, let’s hope gets banned (hardware ban might be best for people like these) in other online games where he wants to cheat — and sell cheats — in.
In other Apex Legends news, Respawn has acknowledged the Battle Pass XP bug on the PS4 version of the game, as well as issues reporting players. You can also read up on the latest patch for the game right here.
I have no idea how it would be enforced, but wouldn’t mind if they could criminalize “cheating” globally. Cheaters do nothing but ruin things for those of us who don’t cheat. Anyother word used would be “griefing”, as they cause nothing but grief.
45 minutes on ONE cheater, there are 10000 like him at least
I haven’t seen 1 second of Apex whatever footage yet. However, the title of your article and how significant you believe this is to the games industry is absolutely adorable and that made my day. Well it made my hour at least.
“spotlight” indeed. i mean the guy streamed himself cheating. not all cheaters stream themselves cheating. have fun catching all the others. i dont play pc ver btw.
Well I hope they get there cheat detection and reporting system/team up to speed soon! because atm the game is filled with cheaters. I come across at least 1-2 every day, someday more atm. So the amount of cheaters have exploded lately, in my experience.
