Intresting article on Kotaku about cheating in Fortnite and Apex

The TL;DR of the article is Fortnite is able to detect cheaters and stop much MUCH better than Apex can, and Fortnite started suing the people who sell cheats and scared them away.

This is the most intresting bit in the article: 

"One cheat-maker, who would only go by the name “Dev,” was working on what he called “Fortnite stuff” before Apex Legends hit the market. “Suspicious Fortnite stuff,” he clarified over a Discord voice call. Over time, he explained, advances in Fortnite’s security software made cheating very difficult and easily detectable. Fortnite’s developer also began sueing cheat-makers, which scared a lot of them off. He says that’s why he, and several other cheat-makers, moved onto Apex Legends, which he says is much easier and more lucrative to develop cheats for."

  • @EA_Atic  I understand that, if someone needs to report a player for cheating etc. but this isn’t the case in this thread. If this account genuinely has a real person behind it 100% of the time, my sincere apologies.
