120 PUBG Cheaters Arrested in China

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a trending game this year, especially after its official release. However, it’s been plagued with cheaters who have gone out of their way to earn a quick buck. This has been something that has been bothering the people at PUBG Corp. However, they are starting to take drastic measures that are going to make Epic Games blush.

The guys at Tencent have decided to make an alliance with the Chinese Police Force. This is all in an effort to stop any and all players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds who dare to distribute unauthorized third party software or attempt to cheat in the game.

According to Reddit sources and our favorite game analyst Daniel Ahmad. Tencent made a task force called “Tencent Keeper”. The task force has its HQ located in the city of Jiangyin in China. The results are unquestionable and it shows how effective they are.

The Tencent Keeper Task Force has managed to make quite a number of arrests. A total of 120 illegal cheat distributors and cheaters have been arrested by this group. This occurred back in December 13, where 3 main suspects confessed their crimes.

The translation reads:

With the assistance of the Tencent Keeper Program Security Team, Wuxi Jiangyin Police successfully arrested and smashed a number of plug-in (cheat) production and sales groups such as “Mochizuki” and “Magic Soldier” on December 13, and all three core criminal suspects Arrested and Confessed on the facts of the crime.

Chinese Criminal Law stipulates that the crime of damaging computer information carries serious consequences. As such, any and all cheaters will be arrested and forced to serve up to 5 years of jail time. This shows that the Chinese Police ain’t fuckin’ around.

So yeah, this is basically done after PlayerUnknown himself told Kotaku that the majority of the game’s cheats come from China. It seems like China really doesn’t look up to the people who make their country look bad. Honestly, I think this is a fitting punishment for people who do this sort of thing to ruin other player’s experience, no matter which game.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.

Developers are reportedly questioning the purpose behind Sony’s PS5 Pro upgrade

Two major stories have emerged at GDC this year: the decline of Xbox’s brand and the speculation surrounding the purpose of the PS5 Pro. During a podcast discussion, Christopher Dring, a prominent reporter from GamesIndustry.biz, expressed his observations about the lack of understanding surrounding Sony’s rumored mid-gen upgrade. Dring claims that he came across a lot of people at the show who were confused about its purpose.

He made it clear that he anticipates “PS5 fans” upgrading, which gives Sony certain advantages. However, game developers are finding it difficult to generate enthusiasm for the system. “Developers don’t seem to see the necessity for it, based on my conversations with them,” he disclosed. Some people believe they aren’t fully maximizing the potential of the PS5 from the start.

With the lingering effects of the pandemic and the lengthy development cycles, the PlayStation 5 has yet to showcase a substantial lineup of exclusive blockbuster titles. “Some companies expressed skepticism about the potential for growth and impact,” Dring nonchalantly remarked. This current generation of consoles appears to have barely begun, with no apparent demand for a mid-generation update. How about we focus on developing fresh, cutting-edge software?

The journalist later explained that Sony likely has realistic expectations for the refresh, understanding that it will likely have limited appeal to a specific audience. As we’ve mentioned before, the introduction of PlayStation Spectral Resolution and other innovative features is aimed at enhancing the performance modes in games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Thus, if such an experience resonates with your preferences, you likely fall into the niche audience that PlayStation aims to cater to.

Sony’s Bend Studios is expanding its team for another high-profile game, signaling PlayStation’s ongoing pursuit of the live service trend. When we last heard from the Oregan-based developer of Days Gone, Bend expressed their anticipation and confidence in their upcoming project, suggesting that it would propel the studio to new heights.

By way of Eurogamer, the studio has alerted us to this most recent update. It appears that a recruitment ad has been recently posted on the company’s website. Bend is looking for a lead project manager who can effectively manage project scope based on current team velocities and milestone schedules. The role requires hands-on game development experience in leadership roles, specifically in shipping AAA live-service games. Specifically, the ideal candidate should possess a proven ability to transform game development studios from a traditional focus on boxed products to dynamic live service development, all while holding a key leadership position.

It’s worth noting that while a service game out of Bend has the potential to be great, it’s important to acknowledge the numerous failed attempts in recent history. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve reported on a cancelled Spider-Man game, rumors of an online Twisted Metal project, and a fantasy co-op game that got axed when London Studio shut down. And mind you, that’s just scratching the surface of what Sony has been up to. Choosing to take a chance with a studio that specializes in single-player games seems questionable, to say the least.
