Watch Wannabe CSGO Cheaters Get Trolled by Fake Cheat Software

We've all probably wanted to do something about it, but we've been at the mercy of anti-cheat software like VAC for ages now. What could we, a lowly player possibly do besides report and cross our fingers that the cheaters would eventually get caught?

Respawn to Force Apex Legends Cheaters to Play Each Other

That's one way of dealing with cheaters.

Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends, says that they will soon begin to implement a new method of anti-cheat in their still fairly popular battle royale title. Unlike many other methods of anti-cheat, this one aims to issue softbans against known cheaters.

In short, this means that people who are detected to be cheating will be matched up only against others who have been found to be cheating. These people will...
