PUBG Mobile cheat creators fined $10 million following Krafton's lawsuit
Much to the delight of players, PUBG Mobile developers Krafton and Tencent Gaming have won massive lawsuits against cheat creators. These cheaters will have to pay a whopping $10 million to the developers as compensation for creating cheat tools.
Hackers and cheaters in the game have ruined the battle royale experience for many players. Even on a competitive level, it has become a pain to ban hackers during intense matches.
The federal courts in the US and Germany ruled against the group of hackers, leading to their payment of the hefty amount. Both publishers of PUBG Mobile, Krafton and Tencent Gaming stated that this sum will be used for improving the anti-cheat system in the game.
The hackers were not only ordered to pay $10 million, but also were asked to reveal the process of creating the cheats. They were also warned severely against future actions that might jeopardize the gaming experience of the players.
In a statement to show how PUBG Mobile stands against cheating, Rick Li, one of the producers of the battle royale game, stated the following:
