More info about the cheaters
-
To me if a streamer knows the identity of the guy behind this and doesn’t reveal him, he should be banned as well as a co conspirator.

@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

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.

@SavageSteve74_PSN I mean u make this sound easy if it’s this easy why aren’t we already done with bans and stuff.

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.

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.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN Bans will do exactly jack and ****. If they can't find a way to stop the software from working, all bans will do is change which accounts are cheating, not the number of cheaters.
-
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.
-
@Ericulous1_XBL They pay for that, too.
-
@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.
