    I was falsely banned while playing the early access campaign. I put zero weight into these claims that they e banned x number of users.

        Lol, you need to play more games. Warframe will literally ban you for farming too much. CoD: Modern Warfare 2 false-banned thousands of players near launch. False bans happen a ton, it’s just that normally they get reversed in short order once someone complains.

          Long ago there was an email from an MMO saying the player “cheated” for going into a high level area as a low level character and sucessfully looted from chests.

        Consumers like you are the reason they can get away with literal theft. When they have people like you who blindly trust their authority and judgement without any burden of proof, they can do anything they want. And yenno what? There’s nothing that’ll change your mind, because people like you (the steam forums have THOUSANDS) have knee-jerk reactions to cheating accusations.

        For the record, I can still play MW19 and WZ1 on the banned account, and I can play MW2 Open weekends and WZ2/DMZ on a new (F2P) account on the same PC, with the same software and background programs, with the same motherboard and hardware. Their anti-cheat is broken as fuck.

            Huh. Got a nonsense reply like this when I was ranting on reddit too. One person who suddenly claimed “so you just admitted you cheated” when theres nothing in the post about actually admitting cheating. A bot who cant read properly? 😂

            No, read it again. I’m saying that if I was actually cheating then it should have banned me from my other games.

      I was instantly permabanned for adding RAM to my computer while having the game installed. First game I’ve ever been banned before. And instantly permanent? I would think there would be a warning at least! I wonder how many else are falsely banned… Because @kadu@lemmy.world have a point, it used to be those who cheated who complained, and this makes it difficult for a faulty cheat detection to be picked up by the devs. More so when they think “they have fixed it” after the first time a wave got falsely banned.

      I spent a day really angry about it, ranting on reddit. Was pretty shocked from it. Then I calmed down and figured I didnt enjoy that game enough to take it further.

        That sucks man sorry to hear that. I spent a little bit longer than you ranting and raving lol. It wasn’t so much that I was upset about not being able to play, because honestly I didn’t like the game very much, but more that this massive corporation just stole $100 from me and there was literally no recourse. Never buying a single thing from Activision and their parent company again.

      I play one specific game mode, I have a 4kd and can only get through a weekend of gaming before the report feature is abused and I get a 5 day shadowban. There are definitely some flaws with how they handle cheaters, and wouldn’t doubt these bans are all from f2p warzone cheaters, so yeah they will be right back to playing.
