Sorry, paying for games NEVER lowered the number of cheaters.
There are cheaters everywhere, even in games that are dead with next to no population.
if anything, cheating increases with a game’s popularity. And Apex is popular enough.
if you want to pay for a game, you’ll just help executives make more money. Because you better believe it isn’t going to the developers. And no, you won’t put a dent in cheating. That’s something Epic should realize keeps people away from their game, even if it is for free, and they should do something about it, like ISP bans.
I mean, paying for fallout 76 didn't stop it from being plagued by hackers, I doubt making Apex a paid game would make it any different.
I guess the way to consider it, would be like saying, there are going to be the Hardcore Cheaters,those who spend vast amounts of time and energy trying to circumnavigate, and for those, well they might figure how to get away without needing a new account and paying for the game over.
For the Casual Cheater, who spends no time learning this Black Art, just gets a cheat and wants to play, and that's the end of their efforts, I can see that when these types of people get their accounts banned, and they want to play again, they are going to need to create a new account and they will have to purchase the game over.
So the question I'd assume that would be on the minds of the DEV TEAM is, how many people will they be able to deter with this sort of thing...
I personally still believe that if people are caught cheating, and they have to create a new account and then you have to start the game over, and you also have to pay again, this will deter some people.
I never said it was 'The Solution', or the Perfect Solution, it's just an 'Added Layer', and the only way to over come something like this, is by adding/including as many layers of security/protection as possible, for the best possible outcome...
pay what for a used account? Nothing really. Done all the time o
