Valve has a creative and extremely funny solution to punish players suspected of cheating Impassethe company’s MOBA-style third-person shooter that is currently playable but in early development. Starting Thursday, cheaters will be turned into helpless frogs, and whether they turn into frogs or not will be decided by the other team.
When a user is detected to be cheating, opponents during the game session are given the choice between immediately banning the user and ending the match, or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then killing him. banished. The system is set to conservative detection levels while we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more comprehensive. We will enable user blocking within a few days after the update is released. When a match ends in this way, the results will not count for other players.
Here is what is commuted to a frog as punishment Impasse looks like in practice:
Valve is certainly not new to this anti-cheat field and has come up with similarly creative solutions to combat cheaters in the past. The developer has previously tricked cheaters into exposing themselves, in games like Dota 2and subsequently issued tens of thousands of account bans. Sometimes these bans are even gift-wrapped, in an attempt to humiliate cheaters and please honest players. Valve has also rewarded players for playing fair; Teamfort 2 players who did not use idle programs to unlock hats in that game were rewarded with a hat of their own, the lament of the deceiver.
Valve’s approach to dehumanization Impasse Cheating is apparently a long-sought anti-cheating measure at the company. According to former developer Burton Johnsey, Valve has developed a similar system for it Counter-Strike: Global Offensive that would turn cheaters into one of the game’s infamous chickens.
