Can we have a pay to play version to stop the Phoenix cheats?

I love this game, it is the only shooter that I play. My games are Fifa and Total War. I get it, I am not the best player in the World at this. I play socially with lots of Lvl500 people and I can see how to play the game, I am just not quick enough but they put up with me. What kills me and them to be fair, is that all too regularly you can get, for example, shot 9 times in the head from 80 meters by a Lvl 15 player with the 20 kill badge, 4k damage badge, 2 wins. I don't for a moment suggest that this is not possible it is, however it is doubtful that it is possible quite so regularly, especially when he/she does it to the next 5 people in the row, and the rock that they are hiding behind, all of which are videoed and then posted. The account I assume gets deleted and they create another new one, as they have paid for a cheat to abuse and they simply do so.

I am not sure of the solution to this, however I am certain that Respawn or EA are not making money from them in the form of APEX packs or battle passes. So perhaps there needed to be a financial penalty to this, or a pay to play version of the game so that there is a financial impact if you are caught cheating.

If this is supported, can you produce a pay to play say $9.99 or $19.99 version please so that people who love the game, hate the cheating feel that you are at least doing something to combat the rampent cheating please?

I do know unknown cheats exists, try finding a cheat that works or didnt get detected for months lol, most stuff are non compiled source codes which most cheaters, which are skids, dont know how to use。。。

@BlackAngelx21 They are fully allowed to do anything they wish to do. It is their company and their choice to charge or not. We do not sign contracts with them to state this game must remain free to play at all times. They may change the pricing point of the game anytime they wish to.

Another option is called freemium. Which allows a free to play version and a premium version of the game.

Many companies have changed price points on games.

@Zwanez2005 Most cheats worth using will not cost 10-20 bucks unless its for a days sub. I have done loads of homework from tracking down owners and their locations and more.

In order to have a somewhat undetected cheat with hardware spoofers is roughly 80 to 120 bucks a month american currency.

or they could just disable all cheating possibilities, there're games with 0 cheat which means it's possible but they don't bother on apex, just like they don't bother to balance ranked/fix the matchmaking

Nah, 0 cheats is almost impossible for online competitive games, as far as i know it, unless the game is small enuf to be 100% server side, so that cheats cant grab info.

Which is why most cheaters wont even care abt the 10-20 bucks purchase.

@E9ine_AC This is exactly what I want to occur if I had my way. Freemium is something that I would 100% pay for.

@Zwanez2005 Disagree with this, a lot of cheaters are using Old Free hacks, that simply get your banned after a day. They don't care for whatever reason, also because they are free it does not cost them anything. So to add a charge to the gain would in effect force people in to consequences.
