Keeping up with cheaters and ensuring they're banned is something that most game developers have to cope with these days, but sometimes, that's not enough. Battlestate Games, the developer and publisher behind Escape from Tarkov, a popular multiplayer tactical first-person shooter that remains in closed beta, recently banned 6,700 cheaters, but it evidently wasn't satisfied with doing only that, having now published publicly available spreadsheets online (1, 2, 3) that include all of their nicknames. Some individuals who work in the anti-cheat departments of other companies have applauded what Battlestate Games has done, saying that they would like to do the same.

Yeah I saw on the wan show (from LTT) that one of the devs played the game undercover to find cheaters, think they also rreleased a vid about it.

Talking aboout it on the wan show seems to have given the devs a much needed kick up the beehind to finally start doing something about cheaters as a lot of regular players are losing interest.
 
You give laynus too much credit. It wasn't a dev who played the game undercover, it was a third party, whose video was the kick for the devs. Linus is just riding the wave.
 
We want honest players to see the nicknames of cheaters to know that JUSTICE has been served

What?! JUSTICE has been served?!

Uhm... this right here says that some people just refuses (or they desperately needs some type of utopia) to separate their RL from virtual and their virtual time is their only safe haven and needs to clone it as possible to our RL. It's the ultimate proof that some people online activities are just tooOOoo much for them and they needs to go outside, etc. more... FAST!
 
6,700 ...... only have a few hundred thousand left. The game is full of cheaters using ESP.
 
Insufficient.

Release full names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses! :p
