What is this cheating meta?

@PriorFir4383355_XBL well plenty of games have failed because cheating became so prevalent. Look at texas chainsaw massacre a few years ago. Game was dead within months because cheaters took it over. Cheaters can absolutely destroy a game and make regular players never return if it gets prevalent enough. That is money.
I agree. The trick is to convince the company that makes the game of that reality before the point of no return is reached. But, to do that, you have to be dealing with a company whose leadership genuinely seeks out customer feedback and actually reacts to it with integrity, honesty, and sincerity.
Anyone here believe those standards apply to SDS?

@mhenry23_PSN -- For the team's part, there is a lot of work behind the scenes to improve the situation, so please don't mistake judicious communication with inaction.
For the community's part, talking about specific methods of how these things work only serves to make the problem worse. There's no upside. That's why the forum rules say members may not "Discuss specific cheating methods in detail." Those who do may be subject to suspension.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN my apologies will not do this again I never thought that talking about it could make the problem worse. Appreciate all the work u guys do.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN -- No worries! Just don't want to make it any easier on this people than need be!
-
@PUNIKI_SAMURAI_PSN crazy how open these people are and seemingly no repercussions. I reported a Facebook group openly selling 12-0 br runs and 6-0 WC runs amongst other things like Stubbs and it’s been like a month. Still fully operational. Clearly you can’t guarantee a 6-0 WC run in legend/immortal without cheating the people who end up loosing.
-
@TheJeweledLotus_PSN -- without getting too deep into it, suffice it to say that this is a complex issue for many reasons and there aren't really any "easy fixes".
That said, yes, I agree with you. The brazenness can be pretty shocking.
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN I mean the people are offering services from their personal Facebook accounts with all their info. Why can’t you bring some charge of fraud on the perpetrators that way they know there is a consequence and maybe the word gets out and less of this happens
-
I got accused of using something called a Zen last Friday. I’m sure some people are cheating but I was just getting lucky. If I give up three straight perfects I just quit. Either the guy is cheating or just way above my talent level or just getting lucky at my expense. Either way I just move on.

Please do t discuss cheats on the forums. Asking what cheats and some are explaining it is a TOS violation
-
@Jacky-Chan1_XBL your worries about community members trying to help stop it? As a tos violation?? Everyone knows what this [censored] is it’s literally everywhere. Openly promoted. It’s reached critical mass something needs to be done, attention needs to be drawn. No one in here is doing anything wrong doing their best to tip toe around the facts but still bring awareness. You know who should be banned, the cheaters , and those protecting them. They might need to hire an outside company to solve it if they can’t. Just shhh don’t talk about it is CLEARLY not working, these people fear no repurcissions frauding a major game developer that is licensed by the mlb.

@DemIsE4_XBL
In what way? Ive played about 15 streamers, both popular and obscure, and played my fair share of cheaters in the higher levels of ranked and I can guarantee you they are completely different. If you want to share something secret you cant post DM me, otherwise, say something when youve actually played a streamer.
