You all know me, im normally a very vocal critic of Respawn.
But now its time i take up the cudgels for them :
When Apex started, we had the usual Aimbots, ESP, Wallhacks ect. like any other Game before.
Not in a very high percentage and also it was very obvious, i invite anyone to go back in this Forum an look for posts about "Aimbot" before 2021.
Sure it was an issue, but compared to the amount of players back then a negligible issue.
Only die hard cheaters, with the knowledge (and money) were using them.
But times changed and so did the cheaters :
When a schoolkid is buying a cronus, xim, titan or RC-Filter Controllers at Wallmart, Amazon, you name it,
they normally dont think that this might be even cheating ... hey they bought the device at Wallmart ... would they sell cheats ?!?! No way ...
They think using those things is normal bcs "everybody" is using them.
This is a social issue, not a problem that can be fixed by some anticheat, but by educating our kids that gaining an unfair advantage is bad in general.
But we let our children be educated by some influencers on tiktok, yt shorts, instagramm ... no wonder they don't feel guilty.
We cannot blame Respawn for that and Respawn isnt responsible for cleaning up that particular mess !
But we can certainly blame them for not HARDWARE banning these a**holes, instead of account banning, which we all know is no ban at all (ie: keep the players online in order to keep the stock prices up).
