RE: 15 Arrested for PUBG Cheating and Hacking Programs - Fined 5.1 Million Dollars Combined
To clarify a bit, only people who developed cheats and inserted viruses were arrested.
I agree. While I believe in punishing cheaters in game, I think that the crime of stealing someone else's personal information is more serious. The person stealing money and personal information is essentially robbing the cheater without entering their homes or being there in person. I think that this is a good move by Bluehole.
To address the problem of cheaters in game, I agree with the way Fortnite does things. From what I've seen, Fortnite somehow bans the graphics card of a specific PC if that user is found cheating.
You mean the actual VGA?! how can they do that?...
It's interesting to think that is possible, being a hobbyist gamedev.
I have no clue if it's possible. It's just what I've heard and read. Obviously, you can't believe everything you read on the internet. You would have a better idea than me if this is even possible since you said like to make games as a hobby.
If you don't know there's a good chance it is a lie.
As far as I know it's almost impossible to ban a specific hardware, unless you're the manufacturer or have a close relation with one. (I know Nintendo can ban your device from access the eShop, but that's because the hardware was designed that way from the start.)
But if they really found a way to do that, they'd be amazing!!
