Before the device ban policy, Krafton used to only ban Battlegrounds Mobile India users’ accounts if they were found to be cheating. “Up until now sanctions were given only to the accounts, but now the mobile devices will be banned as well, making fair gameplay far more effective. We will continuously strive to eradicate any unfair gameplay, especially the use of illegal programs to provide our fans with the utmost pleasant gaming experience,” it further added.
Previously Krafton has banned 25,19,692 accounts permanently and 7,06,319 accounts temporarily. In order to deal with cheaters, the developers also listed out strict measures that were taken to stop the use of unfair means to beat out other players, therefore, undermining the overall experience. Krafton earlier also advised players to avoid giving access to other people in their accounts. In addition to this Kraton is also keeping an eye on YouTube for any channels that promote illegal programs and if any are identified, their channels will be blocked immediately as the company is working with YouTube.
