The official websites of "Overwatch", "Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" all immediately released announcements to appease the players, explaining the problems and solutions to the proliferation of cheating, and they are also doing their best to ban accounts.
But the impact of this turmoil is still spreading.
Among them, the cheating situation of "Overwatch" is the most serious.
In the final analysis, it is still because of the problem of profit model. The prices of the other two games are more than 1,000 yuan. Once the cheater's account is blocked, he will need to spend more than 1,000 yuan to play the game, which is equivalent to increasing the cheater's cost.
Moreover, the player base is small, and the number of cheating players is correspondingly reduced.
"Watching Pioneer" adopts a free mode, and there are many people who play it, and there are many people who open it. Moreover, after the account is banned, you only need to buy another ID card information to register again, and the cost of opening the account is greatly reduced.
On the Overwatch forums, many players are complaining.
"Can you do it? Why hasn't the report in the morning been blocked?"
"Damn it, I'm speechless, isn't Chen Mo a little slow to react this time?"
"Upstairs, didn't you say it in the announcement? This time, the game committee is still studying, and Emperor Dynasty and Zen are also at a loss. What can you tell Chen Mo to do?"
"Yeah, we can only wait for the technical staff to solve it."
"But it's really frustrating. Once you encounter a coercion, all the good mood of the day will be ruined! I don't know if it will be useful to report it!"
"Hey, I thought it was good when "Overwatch" adopted the free mode, but now it seems that I would rather add a few hundred dollars to the threshold fee, at least it will make those hang-ups less!"
"Hey, not much less, do you see that "Wolf Soul" and "Fire Assault" have a lot of cheats?"
"The only thing we can do is wait a little longer. It's a big deal to stop playing for the next two days. Let's talk about it after this period of time has passed."
Although many players are very dissatisfied, they are also very clear that the key to the proliferation of cheats this time is technical problems, which must be solved by relevant technical personnel. Chen Mo has no other good solution except to increase the review. .
However, just when many people thought that Chen Mo would pin all their hopes on the gaming committee, just like Dichao Huyu and Zen Huyu, Chen Mo posted a long Weibo.
And the content of this Weibo made the players dumbfounded.
"Regarding the recent cheating incident: it is still uncertain when the relevant technical personnel of the gaming committee can update the inspection mechanism in the game. Before that, the automatic inspection and banning of cheating accounts cannot be completed through the inspection mechanism of the game itself."
"However, this does not mean that we will do nothing. At present, we are already screening the in-game data and hiding abnormal accounts with a large increase in points. The relevant staff is manually reviewing these suspected cheating accounts. Once confirmed, we will Freeze it."
"In addition, at noon tomorrow, we will perform a version update of the game. The update content is as follows:"
""Overwatch" will update a detection program, which will comprehensively check the player's vr game cabin and all external devices installed on the game cabin. That is to say, all vr game cabins must grant the highest authority to the Thunder game platform. Run Overwatch normally."
"During the running of the game, the detection program will detect the status of the player's vr game cabin and all external devices throughout the process. Except for some normal external devices added to the whitelist, any external devices detected from unknown sources will trigger the "Overwatch" game. interruption."
"In addition, we encourage players to report cheaters who are suspected of cheating. Once the player is found to be cheating, we will give a small gift to the first 30 players who report."
"Of course, each player has a limit of 20 reports per day. Please cherish the number of reports in your hands, and don't abuse or maliciously report."
"In addition, if a certain player is confirmed to be a cheater, the account of the player who played the game with him will also be temporarily frozen. If it is verified that it is a case of 'boss cheating', even if the player did not cheat, the account will be temporarily frozen. Add eternal seal."
"A fair and just competitive environment needs to be maintained by everyone. Please believe that Leiting Huyu will not let any cheater go!"
As soon as this long Weibo was posted, it immediately caused an uproar among the players!
"What? Detection program?"
"This... Does this feel like antivirus software?"
"However, it's a bit too rogue to ask the vr game cabin to grant the highest authority?"
"It's a bit too much!"
"Chen Mo is inflated? Which game company dares to ask for this kind of permission! And if you don't give it, you can't play it?"
Other measures are nothing, mainly because of the "detection program" installed in this version update, which made many players dissatisfied.
Because after installing this detection program, the player must fully open the highest authority of the vr game cabin to play the game.
It's like buying an oven to roast sweet potatoes and asking for free access to any of your homes, obviously, any homeowner in his right mind would find this very inappropriate.
The vr game cabin is like a pc, there are some private information inside, who knows if all the permissions will be fully opened, will this information be leaked
Obviously, the principle of what Chen Mo is going to do now is not complicated. Create a detection program to detect whether there are programs and external devices of unknown origin in the player's vr game cabin. If there are, they cannot log in to the game. It's that simple.
Other game companies are not stupid, why not do it
It's very simple, because you will be scolded for doing so!
After all, a game company is not an anti-virus software company. If you ask players for the highest authority, this in itself is a bit of an overreach. What's more, can the players trust it? What if you secretly tamper with the player's vr game cabin and steal information
Just like in Chen Mo's previous life, Penguin Games was the largest game company in China, but if he said that players need to give Penguin Games the highest authority on the PC side, they can thoroughly check all the status of the PC side, and even modify the data in the PC? It must be drowned by spit.
In the parallel world, even such giants as Imperial Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment would not dare to do this.
But obviously, others dare not, but Chen Mo dares!
Many players are forwarding and commenting one after another. Although most of the players are applauding, there are also many players who have raised doubts about this testing procedure.
"Request the highest authority? I've never heard of game software being so powerful!"
"It means that if I don't give this permission, I can't play "Overwatch"?"
"You are so stupid, does the games committee know?"
"If my personal information is leaked, who will be responsible?"
Chen Mo also responded very simply to this.
"Yes, you can't play "Overwatch" without giving this permission, and you don't have to play if you feel unhappy."
"If you don't want to continue playing and spend money in the game, then you can come to customer service, I will seal your account and give you a full refund."
"This matter has been communicated with the game committee, and I can assure all players that Thunder Interactive Entertainment will never check any data in the player's game cabin, except for detecting suspicious external devices in the game cabin. Any deviant behavior. For this, Leiting Huyu is willing to bear all responsibilities!"
