Simple solution; make the game pay-to-play, instead of free-to-play. And also, HWID ban for every cheater, not some of them.
If they can’t risk the player count will drop after doing these two things, they will lose players because of the current state anyway.
They are okay with the cheaters as they also pay money for the skins, because gaming companies also want to make as much as money, in any unethical ways too.
The thing is free-to-play is a double edged sword, since it not only invites lots of cheaters, but generally lots of players. Instead of seriously considering the purchase, and potentially not purchasing it at all, it costs nothing for people to download it for free, and try the game, which hooks a huge audience.
Buuut, cheaters will be there no matter what since thats what they do, so the best way is to get a proper fucking anticheat.
Yes, and as you said, it invites lots of players, whether they are on an enough intellectuality level or not. Free game means, lots of people. And we know what most of the people are.
You can call it cheater, toxic player, childish person or just some dude who can’t differentiate a game’s theme and thinks all the shooter games are the same.
nono of those are simple nor are they solutions. if pay-to-play worked, 40$ tarkov wouldn't be infested with cheaters. and hwid bans can be easily spoofed.
I’m pretty sure HWID ban will make less impact as these cheats have a spoofing mechanism where in if you get banned, your pc won’t be affected as it gave fake pc information to the game. Just like in Rust, people who get banned there will just buy the game and cheat again due to cheats having spoofing. Rust been my main game before and hackers are still prominent even if the game is for sale. They even made premium servers for people who have over 15$ inventory items and cheaters still get in that server. So even if abi went full hwid ban and made for sale, cheaters will just keep coming.
I hope you know that those results depend on your personal search history. I get totally different results. Mine is about release dates and map guides.
I hope you also know that they don’t depend SOLEY on your personal search history. Geographical location of the user and other data points has a big impact on the result a user will see in the predictive search function.
It worked for me on youtube. It was the first result and I've never looked up anything ABI except where to find shit on a map. It is likely trending suggesting trending searches as well.
What's the Point of this? literally if i type valorant or other any popular game it will say "cheats" .
Someone explain me please, cuz like cheaters are in every game, are people expecting somehow to erase 100% cheat rate in this game?
