PUBG Player Gets 100 Year Ban from PUBG Corp. for Suspected Cheating

With players utilizing cheating software to gain an unfair advantage other others being a serious issue for Player Unknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG), PUBG Corp. has been working towards implementing anti-cheat strategies to punish those who are currently cheating and to discourage future acts of cheating from players. 

However, a recent ban handed down by the developer because of suspected cheating might have been a tad overkill. Reddit user bekay101 recently posted an image on the official PUBG subreddit showing that their account had received a 100 year ban because of "too many suspected complaints for using illegal software and abnormal game logs." 

The banned player can now only hope that the investigation into their ban will not take the full 100 years to complete, but currently it looks as though the player will  not be able to play on their account within this century.

This is not the first time that the developer of PUBG has worked to punish suspected cheaters to an extreme degree, as 15 people who were suspected of creating and selling hacking programs that targeted the popular battle royale game were arrested and fined a total of 5.1 million dollars by Chinese authorities working with the developer on April 25th. 

"We’ll continue to crack down on hacking/cheating programs, until our players are free to battle it out in a totally fair environment," the developer stated in the announcement regarding the arrest of the 15 suspected cheating individuals. 

With PUBG being heavily affected by cheating as a top game in the battle royale genre, PUBG Corp. has shown that it has a zero tolerance policy regarding suspected cheating activities and is not afraid to hand out extreme forms of punishment, which should serve as an warning to any players who are tempted to cheat in their quest for Chicken Dinners.
