Sony targeting PlanetSide 2 'scumbag' cheaters
SOE president John Smedley says company is "aggressively" banning those found using hacks in new free-to-play shooter.
Sony is going to war with PlanetSide 2 hackers. In a series of tweets last night and this morning, Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley said the studio is "aggressively" seeking out and banning those found using hacks in the new free-to-play game.
"I want to make some very clear statements about hacking in PlanetSide 2," Smedley said. "We are aggressively banning people. As they develop hacks, we will break the hacks. We have time and great people. Trust that this is a top priority. Hackers will not win."
Smedley called out one specific gamer, saying each of his three accounts had been banned, but not before firing off some harsh words. "Goodbye you scumbag. Find a new hobby or get good at the game," he said.
PlanetSide 2 launched last month exclusively on PC. For more, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
