Chapter 455: Chapter 454-heavenly justice!
Chen Mo didn’t care what the other companies did, but he was willing to deal with Overwatch.
Of course, there were many players who supported Chen Mo’s decision. Most of these people were Chen Mo’s fans and trusted him. They were all frustrated by the cheating and were desperate to solve the problem once and for all.
At least Chen Mo came up with a solution, which was much better than the other companies not doing anything and allowing the cheating to continue.
The players were fighting intensely.
However, Chen Mo didn’t move at all. A day later, the Overwatch was urgently updated with a new version and added in the testing process.
On the day of the update, Chen Mo obtained some shocking data through the program.
On the first day of the new version update, 3.28 million players had logged in, and 6.4% of them had been intercepted by the detection program.
Was there any false interception? There were certainly some, because some players would install auxiliary equipment for their VR gaming pods for single-player games or RPG games, similar to plug-ins, not necessarily external.
As long as these auxiliary devices came from an unknown source, they would all be intercepted by the detection program and banned from logging in.
However, one thing was for sure. Among the players who were intercepted, a large portion of them were definitely players who had cheated.
At the same time, the first batch of t.i.tled battle pet Warriors was out. There were more than 4000 people in total.
These were the ones who had been reported more often, and they basically used cheats blatantly without any acting skills.
While the players were still arguing over Chen Mo’s last Weibo post, Chen Mo’s Next post came.
“Notice of punishment regarding Overwatch’s cheating: ”
“After the Overwatch update, a total of 210000 gaming pods have been banned from logging in. Being banned from logging in by the detection program doesn’t mean that you’re using external hacks. Some auxiliary equipment of unknown origin will also trigger the detection program’s alarm. ”
“For players who are mistakenly intercepted, as long as they no longer use auxiliary equipment of unknown origin, they can continue to play. As we can’t determine if these players are using external hacks, we will only intercept them and there will be no punishment. ”
“In addition, after manual verification, we have locked in the first batch of confirmed cheater names. All accounts that have been verified to have violated the rules will be permanently banned, including the ID number used by the account. We also reserve the right to further impose punishment. ”
“Thunderbolt entertainment guarantees that we will continue to provide the players of Overwatch with a fair and just gaming environment. We will also crack down on any behavior that violates the fairness of the game.”
“Justice will not be absent, and should not be late!”
“Finally, I would like to thank all the players for your support and love for Thunderbolt entertainment and Overwatch. Thank you!”
The Weibo post had a picture of the Pharaoh eagle flying in the sky and releasing its ultimate skill with the words “justice from the heavens”, which made the players extremely excited.
At the bottom of the long Weibo post, there was also an Appendix with a list of banned accounts. The list clearly indicated the names and game IDs of more than 4000 accounts.
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, a large number of players applauded and cheered!
“He’s out! Justice from the heavens!”
“Amazing, Chen Zhao’s reaction is so fast! The first batch of t.i.tled battle pet Warriors is out already!”
“Actually, the t.i.tle isn’t that important. The key is the testing process! Where were the G.o.ddesses who had criticized Chen Zhao before? Look at this number, there are 210000 gaming pods that have been banned from logging in!”
“Yeah, even if there were mistakenly intercepted, most of them should be cheats, right? Tsk, tsk, hundreds of thousands of cheaters, I was wondering why this game was completely unplayable, so many cheaters are real!”
“I thought Chen Mo was making a mountain out of a molehill, but it looks like he’s doing it for real! I feel like there are fewer cheats after the version update. I’ve been playing for the entire morning and haven’t seen one!”
“Yeah, they were probably all intercepted, right?”
“Well done! Chen Mo will never let players down, aren’t Emperor dynasty and Zen going to learn from him?”
“Hehe, they won’t be able to learn it. Only Chen Mo has the courage to ask for the highest authority of VR gaming pods.”
“It’s not Chen Mo’s courage, it’s his reputation. The players trust him and that’s why he’s doing this!”
“Great, we can play this game again!”
After the beta testing of Overwatch was released, the players were all cheering and clapping. Some of the players who were skeptical at first turned to support Chen Mo’s decision after seeing the data.
Because from the data, this detection program was indeed very useful!
Among the players who logged into the Overwatch that day, 6.4% of them were suspected of using external hacks. Even if only one-tenth of them used external hacks, it was still about 0.5%.
What if this 0.5% of players were scattered in different games? That would increase his influence by ten times.
What if he considered the fact that he would meet different players every time? His influence had to be further expanded! The longer it took, the more normal players would be affected.
This number also showed that there were a lot of cheaters in Overwatch, and Chen Mo’s actions were necessary!
Many players could clearly feel that there were fewer cheats in the game, and the cheaters who used cheats to kill people were basically nowhere to be seen.
Obviously, most of the players hoped that FPS games could have a fair and just compet.i.tive environment, and they hated cheats.
However, there were also people who posted complaints on the official forum of Overwatch, saying that their accounts had been blocked by mistake.
These people swore that they didn’t have any cheats and strongly requested Chen Mo to unseal them.
Chen Mo specifically told the customer service staff to retrieve their first-person videos from the database and reply to them as an official.
In the official reply post, the “highlights” of these players were placed at the top of the second floor for other players to watch.
In these “highlights”, it could be said that there was a group of demons dancing around. There were all kinds of brazen locks, 180-degree instant turning locks, instant frailties in the midst of an Army, and so on, which made the audience gasp in amazement.
“What the f * ck? And he was still so confident that he wasn’t dead? If you’re not dead, are you an alien?”
“Tsk, tsk. This is simply an insult to the intelligence of the audience.”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’re still here to get the official release? Won’t Chen Zhao give you a clear explanation?”
“Is this ‘seeking a hammer and getting a hammer’? If you want solid evidence, Chen Zhao will give you solid evidence!”
“Cheater! Let’s hang our whole family on the tree!”
“Chen Zhao’s really good at this. He hung a tree in public and flogged the corpse like crazy! Everyone, hurry up and push the post to the top so that more people can see what happens to cheater!”
Soon, these posts were all pushed up by the players. The Overwatch Forum’s main page was filled with ‘thread’ posts. They were all posts of players who requested to be unsealed being proven wrong by the video!
