Re: Why aren't cheaters banned on consoles ?!

@MAPROo what makes you think they are not banned? Once the EAC detects them running anything illegal it posts a log (like email) to the company's person(s) in charge of reviewing the logs. So it might take a while before the ban happens.

When it does, they sometimes come here to complain about being banned, and their excuses are varied. If you ever get banned by accident you just file a report with the proper channels, there is no need to post it here. Unless you work for EA games, which I do not, we have no idea how they enforce bans. They do ban players otherwise you would not see them here complaining.

    What @Xubunnytwo says is also true, but with how apex usually bans, it also isn't hard making an alt account to cheat again.

    @MAPROo So I guess you were really asking why Respawn is lazy ? Answer - it prob cost money "I can't how their isn't a program made where it can't register those controllers as valid, asking you connect another controller." but honestly it might be a playstation issue as whole instead of just apex.

    For a little more context - putting a ps3 disc in a ps4, the ps4 will tell you that the ps3 disc can't be played by the system "while telling you it's a ps3 disc, meaning the system can recognize it but won't let it play "
