Hackers

Let me know if you need materials. The toxic behavior has been well documented and there's a trove of material (videos, screenshots, dms that got leaked, discord channels that got leaked, everything a reporter would love to have).

So again - what is being done here?  Account blocks are obviously not working. 

New issues now include post sector control lockouts. What are we doing here?  

This does not require the entire dev team. EA have a game security team that can look at the code and work with an engineer to find a permanent solution. This is a lobby and multiplayer issue, not something that the game team specifically need to look at.

They have the resources, but allow us all to believe this is something they cannot fix. They choose not to, citing costs, yet they have ample teams working across network games who could be assigned. 

They choose not to as the business model is better served by making new games, encouraging players to migrate. But to what?

Would you spend your money on a new game every year, knowing that cheaters will exploit it and ruin the enjoyment for the sake of 'because we can'?

It's better to avoid playing all of EA's titles until they can demonstrate how seriously they take the player experience in fixing issues like this. 

Further to this, looking at the BF6 issues being reported, this is a disturbing DICE trend. We need to call out DICE for their management of network games, given the number of complaints about cheating. 

Granted, this is an industry-wide issue, but we can start by calling out the individual publishers and co-developers of these games.

Recently reported 2 seperate matches with video links to obvious "teams" of cheaters.  (Flying, 4 Vaders ect)

EA banned them, but responded with a similar email saying that no action could  be taken.

Reminder - this game is still selling as a AAA on Steam for $50-$70 USD.

Additional Reminder: KYBER and it's founders started and continue the hacking push.  They are internet-savvy and have flooded the forums with nonsensical game issues to bury threads like these.

The EA Community manager needs to answer to many of us who paid full price for this game.

Why are threads that post a solution to the hacking issue immediately banned?

Why are well-known streamers that doxx journalists allowed to continue to troll-post?

How closely is EA working with Kyber, knowing it was one of their own that leaked the code?
