PUBG cheater caught.


When it comes to competitive online gaming, few things are more frustrating than dealing with cheaters. They not only raise question to the integrity of a competitive experience, but also make us want to throw our gaming peripherals out the window.


PlayerUnknown's Battleground is the latest game to be the target of widespread cheating. Its meteoric growth has made cheat developers hundreds of thousands of dollars, much of which is led by a Chinese underground scene that routinely iterates on their software.

The team behind PUBG's Chinese version is taking the threat of cheating very seriously, especially with its recent investment in the game's eSports development. So, Tencent has worked behind the scenes to locate the source of the cheats before reporting them to authorities.


This week a total of 120 people related to an underground cheat industry were arrested, totaling at 30 cases. This record-breaking arrest spree was made shortly after Tencent submitted their information to police.

These developers have been selling their cheats for a one-time fee, in most cases around 100 to 250 yuan ($14 to $40). Though, some are custom developed for a higher cost, but in turn are nearly undetectable.
