I should clarify - I was talking about competitive online games, and especially those where paying already leads to possible competitive advantages. Obviously reasons for cheating can be greatly different depending on the game too.
If that's actually the case, I'd expect that because your propensity to cheat and spend are both correlated with your investment into a game, that's probably why they'd be intertwined.
It does put you at the center of attention. I always thought that it let people who were bad at an online game enjoy it. So while they weren't really competent and the game wasn't fun for them hacking let them get some fun out of it.
Wasn't this actually quite common on the Xbox 360? Given the opportunity, people can and will be just as bad about this sort of thing as they are on PC. The platform itself is completely irrelevant, you just see it on PC so much because it's (largely) not a walled garden.
That was my point pretty much. Theres always a crowd that would do anything to gain an advantage.
Lol.
Nothing much would be done about that as seen with many games they never do anything against Mouse users
It's the same with any sport or competition.
Of course you can, but Source has had a large, dedicated hacking community for nearly 15 years now due to Counter-Strike. Those hacks can easily be ported to Apex.
It's solved on LAN to a large extent but online is always going to have cheaters.
I'm running the game at 100+ FPS while also having a hundred times more precision. I like both but let's not act like this somehow make one worse than the other.
Respawn said they heavily modified the engine though? Do you know for a fact that they can be easily ported?
Yeah, a lot of the same tricks and exploits work the same. Bunny hopping, animation cancel (double pump), etc. Hell, the INI smoke glitch comes directly from CS. The engine is well understood by this point, easily hackable to those who know it. It's common sense.
They should just match cheaters with other cheaters instead of banning them.
Is selling apex accounts a thing? I know people do it with Fortnite...so maybe that?
? dunno what shit you've been reading, but PUBG is pretty tough on cheaters. There was never a moment where they weren't and there wasn't any "we won't ban chinese" statement either. PUBG has banned several millions of players already and are consistenly working on bigger and better anti-cheat options.
A while ago people were discussing cheating at the games height of popularity & the creator said it's xenophobic to talk about banning/separate servers, his tweet is probably still up.
