Re: Why does DICE enables and supports cheating?

@JuddV10They do have an anti-cheat that works but it works based on stats and nothing else, it doesn't detect cheat software or anything like that hence why there's so few bans.

Most bans are issued by real people who review reports and have to investigate etc so there is no way they are going to delegate people to BF1 sifting through reports on a practically non existent player base.

This applies to most if not all multiplayer games and not just EA games neither.

And just add more on the anti-cheat side of things, there is much better anti-cheats out there but the problem is everyone complains about them for being too intrusive, so the devs can't win. They add a good anti-cheat people complain, they don't add a good anti-cheat people complain lol.

I'm definitely all for blocking and banning cheats etc, I can safely say iv'e been through a fair few controllers and keyboards in my lifetime because of them, but I want those bans etc to be issued and focused on in their current games not their old ones, that is just my personal opinion.

     I can understand why Dice would move to their newer games, however, why would anyone purchase a newer Battlefield game knowing that at some point in the future Dice will allow it to turn into complete junk. There is a new cheat for Battlefield 1 that is ruining the game, I see it as a big discouragement to new BF1 gamers (or anyone who considers the purchase of a newer Battlefield game), why continue the sale of the game without any support and no disclaimer that states "you are on your own".

     With the abuse that now exists on the BF1 chat and the ever present game cheats (that players can not seem to do anything about), it may be wiser for Dice to shut down their BF1 servers and issue refunds!

     I continue to be a giant fan of BF1, but with the direction it has taken it may also be my last Battlefield game....

Best Regards,

Totally agree. If that's how Dice see the world, I don't get how that's a sustainable business model. Unless there's some type of affirmative action taken in the next BF game where they clearly call out improvements to anti-cheating I won't be buying the game. 

It's only dead because cheaters are ruining the game for others, and they leave! 

As this is a 3 year old thread @Mollgrave I'm going to go ahead and close it off.
