Chapter 454: The storm continues

?

The cheating scandal was still brewing.

As for Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment, although Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault had released announcements on their official websites, and they were in the process of manual testing and banning their accounts, this kind of cheating was still spreading.

The key difference between this hack and the previous one was that the system could not detect it automatically. It had to rely on manual inspection, which was much less efficient.

Moreover, most of the time, manual verification could not guarantee 100% fairness. Some of them were indeed FPS experts, or some of the players had an idea and performed wonderful operations. Without the corresponding game data to support them, it was sometimes difficult to determine whether they had cheated or not.

Some of the players who had obviously used cheats were quickly banned after being frequently reported. However, it was clear that some of the banned players had been mistakenly banned, while others had been missed out on.

Some of the smarter players only used the less noticeable features of the plug-in, such as adjusting the shooting angle and locking the muzzle on the body instead of locking the muzzle. In addition to the superb acting skills of these players, even the opponents in the game might not be able to see through it, let alone the staff who tested it manually. They only wondered why this person was so strong.

These people had used external modifications to confuse the difference between him and the experts, causing some of the experts to mistakenly seal him, while he had successfully avoided detection.

All of a sudden, the gaming environment of Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault became very bad. Many masters were criticized for cheating after making wonderful plays, and even reported by other players.

The players no longer trusted each other. Even if they lost, they no longer looked for problems from themselves, nor did they admire each other’s marksmanship. Instead, the first thing they did was to type and curse at each other for cheating.

The people in charge of Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment were all extremely busy, and all the customer service staff were working overtime to deal with the hacked accounts.

As for the game Committee, Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment were also pressing for an answer, but they didn’t get a definite answer. They only knew that the technical staff was working overtime to come up with a solution.

But how long would it take? No one knew.

Some people also proposed to lock the number of the VR game pods and prohibit cheating game pods from logging into all FPS games and even online games.

But this was just a beautiful wish.

This was the same problem Chen Mo was facing. If he wanted to use the VR pod’s code, he would need the player’s permission and the highest level of authorization, and it wasn’t within the game company’s authority to ban the use of VR gaming pods.

Even if the game Committee wanted to do that, they had to consider the impact and whether the players would accept it. It was conceivable that the resistance would be very great.

Just like in Chen Mo’s previous life, with the high popularity of computers, what if the relevant departments required every computer to be registered under their real names? Requiring every shooting game to be able to track the IP address of the PC? One could only imagine how much resistance they would encounter.

The players needed privacy, and they naturally didn’t trust the game company or the relevant departments. Even the players who didn’t cheat didn’t want their VR gaming pods to become a time bomb.

Of course, VR gaming pods didn’t have absolute privacy, so if the game Committee wanted to investigate someone through the gaming pods, they could do so. However, this kind of thing had to be limited to a small area and couldn’t be done openly, or the players would definitely rebel.

Another reason was that there had never been such a large-scale cheating incident before, so’ locking in the VR gaming pod number ‘was not even within the game committee’s consideration, and the game Committee was caught off guard.

In terms of technology, this world’s VR gaming pods had not developed to the level of science fiction. There was no such thing as automatically locking the resident number as soon as one entered the gaming pod, automatically detecting DNA, automatically checking past criminal records, and so on.

From Chen Mo’s point of view, the gaming pods in this world could collect the player’s thoughts to control the character in the game, and give the player their vision, hearing, touch, and other main senses, that was all.

In addition, it could also detect the physical condition of the player, including age, blood pressure, heartbeat, or individual diseases.

The rest was gone.

Since VR gaming pods were first developed for gaming, who would have thought of recording the resident number of the players to prevent cheating?

Obviously, resistance and profit weren’t proportional at all. No VR gaming pod development company with a screw loose would do something that was both laborious and annoying.

As such, Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment couldn’t do anything about it, and could only hope that the game Committee would quickly update the relevant technology, so that the game’s automatic detection system could detect this new cheat as soon as possible.

There were also people who suggested to the game Committee that the VR gaming pod was completely bound to the player’s identity information, and that the player would be directly held responsible if they cheated.

But the game Committee did not reply. This was clearly too brutal, even more brutal than Chen Mo’s request for the Thunderbolt gaming pass to obtain the highest level of access to the VR gaming pod. The authorities wouldn’t just do as they pleased.

In just a few days, the players of Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault were full of complaints.

On the other hand, Overwatch’s style completely changed after Chen Mo’s statement.

……

At the start, a bunch of players were cursing at Chen Mo on the forums and websites, saying that he was invading privacy and had malicious intentions. Many even threatened to quit the game or refund it.

Chen Mo’s reaction was very straightforward. I’ll return it to you!

A portion of the players were really concerned about their VR gaming pod rights, and Chen Mo had harmed their interests slightly, so Chen Mo decided to refund them.

There were also some players who were just using this as an excuse to pressure Chen Mo, hoping that he would change his mind. Chen Mo’s attitude towards these players was very clear, it was impossible.

If you accept it, then accept it. If you don ‘t, then forget it. If you have the ability, then don’t play.

For these players who refunded the game, their accounts would be permanently banned, along with their ID cards. Since you’ve already refunded the game and don’t want to play Overwatch anymore, there’s nothing wrong with being forever sealed, right?

Chen Mo didn’t know how many of these players wanted to leave the game or ask for a refund in order to continue cheating, but he was sure that there were quite a few of them.

From Chen Mo’s experience, once a large number of cheaters appeared, it meant that the situation was very serious. It was possible that it had happened before, but no one noticed it at the beginning.

If he didn’t take decisive measures, it would be completely useless to find all the cheaters at the speed of the current artificial ban.

What if the game Committee couldn’t solve the problem from a technical level within a month? Wouldn’t that mean that all three FPS games would be ruined by external hacks?
