Krafton removes 2.5 mn accounts in a month to stem cheating on Indian PUBG
Krafton Inc, the South Korean video gaming
giant, said it has removed 2.5 million accounts in just over a month to
eradicate cheating on Battlegrounds Mobile India, the exclusive Indian version
of PUBG.
While it permanently banned 2,519,692 accounts, it temporarily
banned 706,319 accounts between September and now.
Among the steps it has taken to eradicate cheating and cheaters on
BGMI are stronger cheat detection and banning mechanisms, permanent bans,
manually verifying and banning any accounts that use or promote illegal
programs among high-rankers, and blocking YouTube channels that promote illegal
activity on BGMI.
Krafton is working with YouTube on the removing these accounts, it
said in a statement.
“If you are using cheat tools, you will get banned eventually, if
not immediately,” said Krafton in a statement on its website.
It also cautioned users against sharing their accounts, encouraged
them to keep reporting misuse on the platform.
Last week, Krafton launched the next game in its PUBG franchise, PUBG:
NEW STATE. The game has been released on iOS and Android devices in more than
200 countries following its final technical test, which took place in late
October.
Developed by PUBG Studios, the
same company that created the highly successful PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS battle
royale video game that has sold more than 70 million copies on PC and consoles,
PUBG: NEW STATE is a free-to-play next-generation mobile game playable in 17
different languages.
Set in the year 2051, PUBG: NEW STATE brings the full,
uncompromised battle royale gaming experience currently available in PUBG:
BATTLEGROUNDS to iOS and Android, making it one of the most realistic and
technologically advanced mobile games to date.
