Cheating in multiplayer games is a dick move, that's pretty well established, but it doesn't stop everyone from taking part in it. As part of a play to crack down on the number of people ruining the experience of zombie survival game H1Z1, developer Daybreak has banned over 25,000 players.
Head of the studio John Smedley, even took to Twitter to attack the sites that host the cheats and mods that enable players to circumvent the rules in online games of H1Z1.
"Please keep using and supporting TMCHEATS. We aren't banning users who use it at all," he said sarcastically. This lead to a response from one fan who questioned why Smedley would bring attention to a site that enables players to cheat.
He went on to explain that naming and shaming them was his way of helping PC gaming as a whole combat the cheaters. He also pledged to continue outing the sites and banning anyone and everyone related to them if found out.
Common hacks of the game currently include item spawning and a particularly nasty wall-hack which lets players see where others are at all times. Why anyone would want to play a game like that is beyond me, but good luck doing so with how vigilant Daybreak seems to be being right now.
