Instead of the Expected "Permaban" — A One-Month Block: ARC Raiders Players Shocked by Leniency of Punishment and Numerous "Unjust" Bans
Following the intensified crackdown on cheaters in the shooter ARC Raiders, players are mass-reporting unjustified 30-day account suspensions. The case of popular streamer Tfue has drawn particular attention — he was banned without any explanation.
The community suspects the new automatic penalty system is mistakenly responding to mass reports. Questions are also arising about the leniency of the sanctions: many players consider 30 days insufficient punishment for cheaters. However, it's possible the developers intentionally opted for temporary bans while their system becomes more accurate.
Studio Embark has not yet commented on the situation, but the ban interface now includes a direct link to support, indicating an expectation of a large number of appeals.
