Since the onset of the pandemic, competitive online games have seen a surge in the number of cheaters. Vincent Flores and Ramsey Pace, senior directors at FTI Consulting,recently explored the rise in isolationin gaming because of the pandemic and its relationship to cheating. They found that between February and April 2020, the number of Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) Bans went from less than 100,000 to over half a million cases. They also noted that this significant spike occurred around the same time that the Covid-19 pandemic was declared a national emergency. While a move like Ubisoft and Bungie’s joint suit is nothing new in the gaming world, it does highlight the significant actions game companies are taking to combat the increasing number of cheaters online.
