I saw in the stream people were asking about it on the stream. There was no chance they were going to mention that. Most likely, and I am hoping, one day we will just wake up to see a bunch of posts about people getting unfairly banned.

The guy running the cheat had better be living out of the US with all the money he earned in offshore accounts. This is big money just on napkin math, 40k users at $200 a piece is $8M, plus another $1.2M per month, yeah Sony will come after you with that kind of money. They know he’s on discord, they’ll subpoena his account, lock up his payment methods, track those to his bank accounts, put holds on those. Even if he transferred to crypto, they’ll flag his account and trace the money. YFK doesn’t need to give up the name, I guarantee they’ve already got it.

SDS should ask Kash Patel to track him down.

Why? So he can NOT find him just like Nancy Guthrie?

@SavageSteve74_PSN From what I saw, there's only one real solution, which they won't take: ban capture cards. If they don't do that, I don't see how anything else they do will work.

So don't streamers need capture cards? SDS will never do this if that is the case. Even if they could and allow streamers to use capture cards, who is to say they aren't using the cheats? The only real solution I see are hardware bans and I just don't see that happening. You could do permanent account bans but then need to monitor when these people make alt accounts. It doesn't look good but maybe SDS has something up their sleeve.

Correct, bans won’t do much, but they’ll go after the developer. He got greedy and that’s going to cost him. Doesn’t mean someone else won’t come up with the same software and do it all over again, but once they know how the cheat works, they can start counter programming, and the cat and mouse goes on.

For the offline stuff, it’ll become a small pain for us with probably more click through stuff required in a random fashion to counter any sort of automated script until they figure out a permanent solution.

Bans take a bit of time, and we won’t know they’re dropping them until people complain. Give it a few days to a week and I’m betting we will start seeing posts on social about people getting unfairly banned. They have to do due diligence to protect themselves first. With the way this software works, it’s not necessarily an easy detect, so they’re probably looking at game history and evaluating.

If he doesn't live in a country that disregards requests for extradition, then I agree he's in serious trouble and good for him. Much as I hate the way SDS treats us as customers, I agree with them unleashing their legal department to go after these dirtbags with all the resources available to them.

If he does live in one of the civilized nations of the world, then he's in serious trouble. DIscord cannot avoid a subpoena and content once posted in a web forum is forever even if the individual later "deletes" it. Trust me, the post isn't deleted. Instead, it is merely transferred to another location where the web forum staff can still see it.

@icebergslim7669_PSN idk man I wouldn’t blow up a sketchy millionaires cheating scandal to be fair to Kyle he probably wouldn’t like what would come his way. But I’m also a rly bad overthinker so this is just my pov I wish he would so we could end this but i get why he’s not.

Yeah i get that part, makes sense, i wouldn’t put my family in danger over a videogame, just hoping someone stops this guy, cause it ruins it for a lot of people

@mietha_PSN yeah I know what you're saying. I'm still just very much confused on the whole thing. These people paid $100 for the game, $200 to join a cheater group, and $30 month to not actually play the game. In what world, does that make sense?

I think people are focusing too much on the mp part. Yes, it definitely ruins the online experience but the mini seasons part is massive. From my understanding you could run it, go to bed and wake up with probably at least 50 packs. If you pull 2 Ohtani's haven't you pretty much paid for everything for the year or am I missing something?

This is exactly the intention behind the video, sell that exact idea…

As an offline player this is the biggest issue to me. Hearing this mini season auto grind bs makes me want to walk away for good. Unless SDS starts juicing packs and XP big time I’m just about done. Really sucks.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN if the guy who he knows who made the cheats rly is a millionaire he probably got an offer he couldn’t refuse he probably looked at it as a opportunity for People to see his product and what it can do in a new light. Which sucks because until actions are taken against the cheaters like u said this only raises awareness and the way I look at it gives stupid people stupid ideas…

Kyle probably got paid to do the video.

If I was the owner of discord, why would I risk my cheating scheme and software?

It was never a video to show people how to fight it, it was always a paid promo. They say it’s hard to hit Rogers with white pants, I call BS.
