CRONUS-ZEN ISSUE
XBOX and PlayStation are being over run with cronus-zens. Why hasn't anything been done to stop it from ruining everyone's game yet? On top of the usual game issues such as, Getting shot through door...

@GmAnZ1000 Because EA doesn't care about cheaters, same problem on BF2042 You can always tell who is using it, they nail you with every shot from across the map. Besides if you Read EA's ToS and other anti-cheat literature they limit their language to 3rd party software cheating, the Cronus-zen and other Console Tuners are 3rd party Hardware based cheats, so unless EA makes some changes they technically are legal
@Fr0d0T34B4gg1n5 The ToS is quite clear with these things.
Using software or 3rd party devices to gain an unfair advantage over others.
They are indeed 3rd party devices. The big problem with those in my opinion is proving someone is using one. While a few games claim to detect them they also throw off false positives. So its not a perfected system for me to count it as a success. I amsure in the future things like that will be easier to detect for all companies as AI gets improved on.
Overall though all those are 3rd party devices being used to gain an unfair advantage over others.

This is directly from the EA ToS
Use or distribute unauthorized software programs or tools (such as "auto", "macro", hack or cheat software), or use exploits, bugs or problems in an EA Service to gain unfair advantage.
An Unauthorized Third-Party Program is a third-party program or file (such as a "add-on", "mod", "hack", "trainer", or "cheat") that EA believes (i) enables or facilitates cheating of any type; (ii) allows users to modify or hack the game interface, environment, and/or experience in any way not expressly authorized by EA; or (iii) intercepts, "mines", or otherwise collects information from or through the game.
Until EA changes the wording in the ToS they are "Technically" not banned as they are Hardware not software based, but I agree they do violate the nature of it, but when it comes down to splitting hairs EA chose its wording poorly and went with the very specific term of "software" not Hardware or Devices.

Uh you are wrong about that, the device your are talking about has it's own software and if one is using the device they are using the 3rd party software.
So just to be clear that does fall under the ToS and would be a violation of that. There is no loophole.
