Why is EA not really actively fighting cheaters?

Cheats for entire EA product selection are again fully easily available with the simplest search.

Question: What in the is stopping EA from reverse engineering this game-genre's ruining software to make effective anti-cheat?
I just do not get why EA allows their entire battlefield game series go to sh** due to cheaters. Surely this must be hurting EA's sales and thus profits? Question: What business profit is there for EA for not (really) addressing the cheating issue's?

Hello Bluebird287,
The best course of action for average players is to report suspected hackers. The ToS team will take care of the rest, sometimes it can take some time. I know the answer might sound generic, but nothing more can be said.
Report cheating, harassment, and illegal content

1:- They do not take care. I can see from the views on vids uploaded unlisted, none of them get viewed from the reports. The idea, anyone at EA processing the reports is utter bull**bleep**. The question is, why is EA shooting themselves in the foot by facilitating cheaters by not acting against them? Many and me will not be buying new EA shooters, due to the massive cheating problem.
Also, with many cheaters is impossible to get good evidence, due to the very advanced nature of modern cheating software Not the least due to spectator detection, causing them to leave or start hiding they are cheating. It EA is the one to really act. Why is EA ignoring? Assuming at least 50% of people who say they will not buy a new title, will keep to that, they literally are loosing business to this problem.

To make clear, "danisoff" marked his own post as a solution, which is not an answer to the question and not true. EA is not actively fighting cheaters, as seen by daily uploads of new rage hackers and openly available cheat-solutions for the cheaters to buy.

And round and round we go.
People keep reporting and pointing out cheats and EA (especially in here) keep denying cheats exist. (and heaven help you if you name one)
Good to hear the comments in here about not supporting EA products. Myself, personally, have not purchased an EA product since I bought BF 4. Big deal you say ?, well if enough people are doing that then EA must eventually wonder exactly how much money are they missing out on.
Seriously, they know what is a cheat and what is not. They have tried several times to apply safeguards but with limited success. They must know how a cheat is applied and are still unable or unwilling to stop it.
Bottom line is, cheating is not against the law, just against the rules of the game.
Maybe set benchmarks from game stats (they used to be included for all to see but were mysteriously removed) and anyone exceeding the benchmarks has there stats reset to zero. All that effort for no reward or bragging rights could be all that is needed.
