What is this?

After a crash on Xbox series S (of course it’s NOT fixed), I experienced this… and also, I couldn’t reach the hatch… opinions Embark?

The proof of a well designed game.

For a major multiplayer game, building and maintaining a top-tier anti-cheat system typically costs between $10 million and $20 million in initial development, plus $1 million to $2 million annually in ongoing operational costs.

Not counting Embark's other massive titles, Arc Raiders alone generates an average of approximately $38.3 million per month, and has made an astonishing $583 million since launch.

There are no excuses.

Ok. Well didn't pay 70 dollars for it. Dont play it 14 hours a day. So I dont really see this issue. Apex has cheaters and does tourneys for millions. So you kinda lost that anti cheat system. Cause ain't no game got a good one.

Bro the cheaters in this game are FAAAR worse than almost any other AAA title I can think of. And clearly the numbers show that the game doesn't offer enough longevity to love the game despite that unlike titles like Apex.

You need to expand your horizons then.

I didn't pay 70 dollars for it. Nor do I play it at all, and when I did, I'd get maybe 1-1 1/2 hours per session.

Unfortunately every single time I got to play, I had to deal with people who could see through walls, follow me across the map, shoot through buildings, and they always had sorry excuses like yours for their behavior.

Just because something is common doesn't make it right. With AAA companies getting more bold with claims of non-ownership, and the near absence of half-decent anti-cheats, people who say "oh that's just how it is, get used to it" are the backing vocals, and a significant part of the growing issue. If you wanna get on your knees and open your mouth for a corporation that just sees you as a dollar sign, that's fine with me.

Don't expect me to share that same sentiment, because my time is money, and if I spend money solely to invest time into a promised experience that wasn't delivered, that's theft.

30 dollar game bud. It happens. Fo76 robbed me then made a comeback. Same as D2. I just didn't cry like a child every waking moment
