Chapter 453: There’s never been anything that the game company dared to do

Translator: 549690339 

On the official websites of Overwatch, Wolf Soul, and raging inferno assault, they immediately released announcements to appease the players, explaining the problem of the overflow of external cheats and how to solve it. They were also trying their best to ban the accounts.

But the effects of this disturbance were still spreading.

Among them, Overwatch had the most severe external hacks.

In the end, it was still because of the problem of profit model. The price of the other two games was more than 1000 Yuan. Once the cheater’s account was banned, he would have to spend another 1000 Yuan to experience the game, which was equivalent to increasing the cost of the cheater.

Moreover, with a small player base, the number of players who cheated would also be reduced.

Overwatch was a free game, so many people played it and cheated. Moreover, after the account was blocked, one only needed to buy an ID card information to register again, which greatly reduced the cost of cheating.

Many players were complaining on the Overwatch forum.

“Is this going to work? why hasn’t the cheater that was reported this morning been banned yet?”

“F * ck, I’m speechless. Chen Mo’s a little slow this time.”

“Previous poster, didn’t the announcement say that? This time, the game Committee is still studying it, and even dynasty and Zen are at a loss. What can Chen Mo do?”

“Yeah, we can only wait for the technical staff to solve it.”

“But I’m really pissed. One cheater ruined my good mood! I don’t know if reporting him will work!”

“Sigh, I thought it was pretty good when Overwatch was free, but now it seems like I’d rather pay a few hundred Yuan more for the entrance fee. At least that way, there’ll be fewer cheaters!”

“Sigh, it’s not much less. Don’t you see that Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault have a lot of cheats?”

“We can only wait a little longer. At most, we’ll stop playing for the next two days. We’ll talk about it after this period of time passes.”

Even though many players were unhappy, they knew that the problem was due to the technology. Chen Mo couldn’t do anything about it other than increase the amount of checks.

However, just as many people thought that Chen Mo would place all his hopes on the game Committee like Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment, Chen Mo posted a long Weibo.

And the content of this Weibo post made the players even more dumbfounded.

“Regarding the recent cheating incident: currently, it is still uncertain when the game committee’s technical staff will be able to update the in-game inspection mechanism. Before that, the game’s own inspection mechanism can not be used to complete the automatic inspection and ban cheating accounts.

“But that doesn’t mean we’re going to do nothing. At present, we have already screened the game’s data and abnormal accounts with a large increase in hidden points. The relevant staff are conducting a manual review of these suspected cheating accounts. Once they are confirmed, they will be frozen. ”

“In addition, at noon tomorrow, we will be carrying out a version update for the game. The update content is as follows: ”

“Overwatch will be updating its testing program. This program will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the player’s VR gaming pod and all external devices installed in the gaming pod. In other words, all VR gaming pods must be given the highest authority to Thunderbolt gaming platform to run Overwatch. ”

“While the game is running, the detection program will detect the status of the player’s VR gaming pod and all external equipment. Other than some normal external devices that have been added to the white list, the game will be interrupted if any other unknown external devices are detected. ”

“In addition, we encourage players to report those who are suspected of cheating. Once the player is found to be cheating, we will give a small gift to the first 30 players to report. ”

“Of course, each player can only report 20 times a day. Please treasure the number of reports you have and don’t abuse or maliciously report them.”

“In addition, if a player is proven to be a cheater, the account of the player playing with him will be temporarily frozen. If the situation is confirmed to be ‘cheating with the boss’, even if the player didn’t cheat, they will be permanently banned. ”

“A fair and just competitive environment needs to be maintained by everyone. Please believe that Thunderbolt entertainment won’t let a single cheater off the hook!”

As soon as this long Weibo post was posted, it immediately caused a huge uproar among the players!

“What is it? Testing procedures?”

“This … This feels like an anti-virus software?”

“But isn’t it a little too much to grant the VR gaming pod the highest authority?”

“That’s a little too much!”

“Chen Zhao’s arrogant? Which game company would dare to ask for this kind of authority! And I can’t play without it?”

There were no other measures, but the “detection program” installed in this version update made many players unhappy.

Because after the installation of this detection program, players must fully open the highest access of the VR gaming pod to play the game.

It was like you bought an oven to bake sweet potatoes, but the oven required you to enter any of your rooms at will. Obviously, any owner with a normal brain would feel that this was very inappropriate.

A VR gaming pod was like a PC. There was some personal information inside. Who knew if this information would be leaked after all the access was fully opened?

Obviously, what Chen Mo wanted to do wasn’t too complicated. He just wanted to create a detection program to check if there were any unknown programs or external devices in the VR gaming pods. If there were, they wouldn’t be able to log into the game. It was that simple.

The other game companies weren’t stupid. Why wouldn’t they do it?

It was very simple, because he would be scolded for doing so!

After all, the game company was not an anti-virus company. If you asked the players for the highest authority, you would be overstepping your authority. Moreover, could the players be trusted? What if you secretly did something to a player’s VR gaming pod and stole information?

Just like in Chen Mo’s previous life, penguin games was the biggest game company in China, but what if he said that he wanted players to give penguin games the highest level of access on the PC, to check everything on the PC, and even change the data? He would definitely drown from the spittle.

In parallel world, even the big names like Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment didn’t dare to do this.

However, it was obvious that Chen Zhao dared!

Many players reposted and commented on it. Although most of the players were praising it, there were also many players who questioned the testing process.

“Request for the highest authority? I’ve never heard of a game software that’s this awesome!”

“So, you’re saying that if I don’t give you the permission, I can’t play the Overwatch anymore?”

“Does the game Committee know that you’re so cool?”

“Who will be responsible if my personal information is leaked?”

Chen Zhao’s response was very straightforward.

“That’s right. If you don’t have this right, you can’t play the Overwatch. If you’re unhappy, you can choose not to play.”

“If you don’t want to continue playing and spend money in the game, you can look for customer service. I’ll freeze your account and give you a full refund.”

“We’ve already talked to the game Committee about this, and I can guarantee to all players that Thunderbolt entertainment will not look into any data in the player’s game cabin. Other than checking for suspicious external devices, there will be no other actions. Thunderbolt entertainment is willing to take full responsibility for this!”
