Has Embark provide any substantial updates on addressing the rampant cheating?
Definitely a rant since Nexon made the Embark CEO, Patrick Söderlund their Executive Chairman for his vision but I see some glaring gaps in that long term vision.
It seems odd they didn't launch the game with meaningful anti cheat but lends itself to the idea they bolted on PVP as an uninspired last minute choice.
I ask because my squad was just instantly killed for the 3rd time trying to play this week by screaming kids queuing as multiple squads into DUOs. That behavior is bad enough without ESP being allowed and the Embark Devs going on record that streamers deserve to be trusted and have their very limited anti cheat not even look at them.
Along the same lines if you were to believe the notion that Embark is letting players leave to build a strong small core .... would that make sense for Söderlund who is being congratulated for 14 million copies sold. If Embark wants to intentionally leave the majority of those players out how does his innovation scale and what level of success can his other games hope to achieve? 14 million players and less than 100,000 in Arc Raiders, that's a lot of folks who know not to buy what he's cooking again.
It's boring and I come back every few weeks hoping it won't be boring.
