With success came fraud, this can be summarized as what is currently going on in the arena shooter The Finals.
Embark Studios shadow-dropped The Finals during the Game Awards. However, the unexpected release of the arena shooter wasn’t the only surprise.
The Finals reached over 10 million players within the first two weeks and continues its triumphant march. However, with success comes fraud. The Finals still suffers from a flood of cheaters who spoil other people’s fun while playing.
As you may have already observed, the problem with cheaters and hackers is already being discussed extensively on social networks. These circumstances often form the core of an entire discussion. Hopefully the end of this fun-dampening development can be seen soon.
Meanwhile, Embark Studios explained that technical problems were responsible for the fact that nothing could have been done against the cheaters. We are currently not only working on a solution to the problem, but are actually very close to it. Accordingly, they say, they want to ensure that the game continues to run smoothly, safely and fairly.
However, until the solution is implemented, the discussions will certainly continue, because many honest players fear that their matches and their rise in the ranks – no matter how hard they fight for it – will be torpedoed by cheaters and hackers.
