@KarvaRausku This is simply not true. They care deeply about cheating and exploits. They really focus on trying to provide a good and fair gaming environment for honest gamers.

EA simply is not very public about how they handle cheaters in game.

Cheating is by far one of the worst things for their game. It leaves people with a negative experience and frustration. That in turn decreases the amount of time people spend playing Apex, which ultimately hurts the companies revenue/profits. If you think it's not a concern and not something they work hard to combat, your vastly mistaken.

All FPS games have cheating. It's a fairly complex issue to deal with.

@DarthValtrex Problem is they act like they care but they are not focusing it. Billion dollars companies can't deal with some cheaters from their basements with 15$ cheat app is beatable if they wanted to beat them. Riot and Valve are doing great, Epic doing much better. Activision and EA are the worst. Even Bungie stepped it up.

    @WreckingVi It's not that simple and cheating is in very single FPS game on the market. They do care and they do take quite a bit of action. I'm not going to elaborate anymore on the topic.

    While it's absolutely understandable to be frustrated that cheaters are still around, it's certainly not the case that this is due to a lack of care or focus.

    This is an ongoing battle and will likely continue to be one as long as there are competitive multiplayer games out there.

    This article was linked elsewhere on AHQ earlier but may provide a bit more insight into some of the investigations and activity that take place behind the scenes. As DarthValtrex mentioned it's not often something that's commented on publicly, and personally I found the monthly numbers listed in the article pretty enlightening.

    For those that slip through the cracks in the meantime, your reports are as always very much appreciated.
