Winner Winner Cheaters Dinner

I question some life choices while I'm clocking almost 2000 hours in PUBG, also known as Player Unknown's Battlegrounds.

I do love it, and sometimes I do hate it. I love it every time there has been an update. Not for the seasonal content or the new skins or whatever they came up with to get another cent out of me. They won't.

I love it after an update because all the cheaters are reset to their real skill level. Which is zero. Because cheaters stay noobs forever.

For a couple of days, my friends and I, who have been playing this game for 8 years now, can enjoy some so-called Chicken Dinners. Sometimes multiple in a row, as the cheat vendors still have to update their memory tables.

The cheating that is going on the rest of the time gets exposed so blatantly during this window that it shocks me Krafton, a Tencent company, is allowing such horrendous cheating. My friends and I run into a cheater pretty much every game. Every freakin' game.

Actually, not shocking at all, because as I said earlier, I'm not spending a cent on this game anymore. And that makes me a bad customer in the eyes of Krafton.

Banning cheaters forever? Dream on. Who in their right mind is going to ban the cash cow, the whale, the golden goose, the money printer, the guy who is willing to pay for cosmetics (and cheats)?

So Krafton is in a real dilemma. Because if the player base running cheats gets too big, no real players will play, and in the end only cheaters play against each other.

Only cheaters play against cheaters… huh? That leads me to an idea I have had for a couple of years now. What if players who are suspected of cheating (and I think Krafton has a pretty good picture of who they are) only got matched against other cheaters?

Problem solved. Everyone plays in their own universe, and I might enjoy it again so much that I would go and buy that stupid weapon skin.
