PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to Ban 100,000 Cheaters

_PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ is cracking down on cheaters trying to hack the system by permanently banning them. The multiplayer online battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation last year quickly became one of 2017's most popular video games appearing on many best video games of the year lists and receiving several nominations for Game of the Year and other awa


While some PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans may disagree with Greene's stance when it comes to the notion of region locking the game in China, it would be difficult for one to claim that PUBG Corp. is not taking the issue of cheating seriously. After all, the development team behind the battle royale title has been steadily working on anti-cheat updates, introduced fresh rules in an effort to stop cheaters and unauthorized programs, and has banned more than one million players in the past for the offe


PUBG Mobile features a lot of smart gameplay tweaks compared to its counterparts that help it feel very natural on mobile devices. But while these changes seem to have been made with the mobile version in mind, they could also be used to improve the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds experience on PC and Xbox One as w


Dr DisRespect's stream ended up hitting a pretty major figure, breaking the record for the highest number of concurrent viewers in Twitch history and earning major subscriber numbers and donations throughout. At its peak, Dr DisRespect managed to bring in 388,000 viewers, pipping the previous record of set by League of Legends streamer Tyler1 in his own return to the service following a ban from League developer Riot Games. Although there claims that Tyler1 hit over 400,000 viewers, Twitch has confirmed that Dr DisRespect is now the record holder . With that in mind, it's no wonder that Twitch was struggling a little under the l


"We really want to keep iterating and keep trying stuff, and we have our Test Server, we have our Experimental Test Server now so we can roll out stuff earlier. And it really is about using our community and getting their feedback early on so we can just keep testing and keep moving forward. So the process we built up last year we're just refining now and carrying into the futu


However, Dr DisRespect took a leave from Twitch in December. Beahm decided to take a hiatus from the platform after confessing to infidelity, stating that he needed to take time away from streaming to focus on his family. This January, he announced his return with a newly-branded 'Champions Club' and a streaming date set for February 5, 2


Ever since its inception, the development team behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been trying to thwart cheating as much as possible, with one attempt being in the addition of reporting aspects to the game, including the somewhat recently incorporated 3D killcams and replay features . Furthermore, PUBG Corp. has, as Greene suggested to US Gamer, implemented "anti-cheating testing internally" with the company "working to build systems to really get a handle on the guys that don't want to play fa

Considering the fact that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Steam sales have made it the third-highest grossing game on Valve's digital distribution platform, it's safe to say that the battle royale title is a bona fide success. Of course, many would still argue that the game suffers from a litany of issues, with one ever-present complaint from lots of fans being about how Chinese cheaters are making PUBG matches unfair. This has led to plenty of calls for PUBG Beginner Guide Corp. to "region lock China," but its creator Brendan Greene disagrees that it's a viable solution to the prob


A brand-new map and scopes will be made available for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ from today. _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a multiplayer game that's proven remarkably addictive thanks to its simple, Battle Royale -style concept; 100 players are dropped onto a map and have to salvage weapons and armor to survive.

One common criticism lobbied at PUBG is its poor rewards system. Players are given some BP, PUBG 's in-game currency , at the end of every match, which is then spent on crates that often yield lackluster cosmetics. While PUBG Mobile still has lackluster rewards in many regards, one thing it does that other versions of the game may want to emulate is its use of daily log-in bonuses. Daily log-in bonuses encourage regular activity and stand as yet another way to reward players for the time they're spending with the g


It's not the only time that Twitch has faced difficulties when demands are made by a high number of users. Last August, Twitch had some major outages , with the service stuck down for several hours with only intermittent access. As the site grows larger and larger, no doubt the service will aim to stop these issues from cropping up again, particularly when dates that are likely to put a major strain on the service can be easily identif
