So, these games do not ban cheaters, but instead try to inconvenience them until they stop cheating? I wonder why they don’t outright ban the cheaters. Are they afraid of getting chargebacks or refund request? Or are a huge proportion of those cheaters actually some big spender so the game companies don’t want to ban them because retaining them is more profitable?
Warzone 2.0 is free to play, so making a new account once banned is pretty trivial. Obviously they also have a financial incentive to keep players in and get them to just stop cheating, so they stick around and buy skins. Less likely to do that if they lose all the skins they do have.
With that said, I am pretty concerned about false positives with these types of systems. I am 99% certain back in Warzone 1 I was accidentally flagged as a cheater. This was when they were queuing cheaters only with other cheaters. So for a few months I was constantly facing blatant aimbotting players. Imagine constantly seeing players that don’t actually exist because the game decided something on your PC was sus.

because ban evasion is a problem and dealing with cheaters is more effective when they don’t know they’ve been tagged as a cheater
And if they spend money in the mean time… another win
Just look at Rainbow Six Sieges Mousetrap system to detect people using MnK on Console. Works amazingly
