PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has undoubtedly become a phenomenon of an era, at least at the start, no game could compare.

On the first day of opening, the number of concurrent online users broke records. Although there was a certain decline afterward, and with the impact of the holidays, it still maintained a peak of three million concurrent online users daily, with fourteen million daily logged-in users.

The reason why the number of concurrent online users is so high is because of the existence of the War God leaderboard.

"Honey, I encountered a cheater in the game today."

Any game inevitably faces cheats, it’s just that in some games, cheats don’t make much difference.

Before Li Yang could say anything, Bai Qing took responsibility and said, "Blame me, I shouldn’t have suggested that War God leaderboard. If there wasn’t a War God leaderboard, those cheats wouldn’t have appeared so quickly."

Li Yang quickly comforted, "How can a game avoid cheats? I’ve already instructed the employees to develop a patrol system so that once there’s a report, the information related to the match will be sliced and saved, and we just need some people to be inspectors. No game in this world can avoid cheats; even during our open test period, someone started looking for our vulnerabilities."

Cheats that directly modify game data are easily detected.

The genuinely hard-to-find cheats mostly exploit the game’s own vulnerabilities.

For example, there are cheats that prevent the in-game client from slicing and uploading game videos, so there’s never any evidence of the other party cheating.

Without evidence, you can’t determine if it’s a cheat, they just need to say that they don’t know what happened, and they’re excused.

You can’t just kill off everyone with similar issues, right?

The gaming industry doesn’t suit the principle of better safe than sorry.

Cheaters getting banned might just argue back a bit.

Those banned without cheats, they truly won’t play again.

Moreover, they can even sue, and if they win, it can severely damage the company’s reputation.

"By the way, we will also introduce a sensitive system that gives an offline warning to accounts that lack hard evidence of cheating."

Anti-cheat measures were certainly on Li Yang’s mind, one reason this game could fail is because of cheats.

Therefore, from the beginning, cheats have been a major target, they must not affect regular players.

Bai Qing immediately said, "Honey, kicking someone offline is not a good option. If there’s no evidence, it means there’s a chance they didn’t cheat. I think we should mark those accounts individually and match those with the same mark together, so suspected cheaters play amongst themselves."

"What else?"

"You could evaluate whether they’ve really cheated based on their performance in the suspected cheater group and also make the cheats compete against each other. When they lose long-term, they definitely wouldn’t stay conservative, and whatever functionalities the cheats have, they’ll use them, thereby revealing flaws. For cheaters, it’s impossible to endure being abused for dozens of matches without showing any flaw, it’s more likely they’re regular players."

Li Yang asked back, "You seem to know a lot about cheat players’ psychology, have you cheated before?"

"Ahhhhh, I haven’t!"

"Hahaha, honey, do you want to be a consultant at Aurora Studio? I think you’d definitely do better than me."

Li Yang genuinely thought Bai Qing had the ability in this area, her ideas were all based on a player’s perspective.

Kicking suspected cheats out of the game isn’t a good solution, what if the person is a particularly strong streamer? What if they were falsely reported out of malice? Being kicked offline only proves the game company is inept, over time people will lose trust in the game company’s credibility.

Once a game makes a wrongful ban, all cheaters have an excuse to argue.

What if someone wrongfully banned for ten years?

"Sure, but with the current trend, next year we’re likely to hold a professional competition. You should join the Koala Team and lead our players to win a world championship."

This sentence from Bai Qing was essentially a rejection.

Li Yang is the boss of Aurora Studio, how could he personally participate in matches?

No matter the outcome, it wouldn’t benefit Li Yang much.

But Li Yang quickly replied, "If you agree, then I’ll do it."

"Huh? I... was just joking..."

"No way, you said it, you have to mean it! You transfer Koala Team to Wu Tianqi, I’ll transfer Aurora Studio to you, next year I’ll debut as a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds pro player!"

"????, do you even know how much Aurora Studio is worth? This game has already become a phenomenon."

Aurora Studio is now worth at least over a billion.

Li Yang said, "Actually, it’s originally your money. Before your aunt Chen Peipei went abroad, she left you a sum of money, and I’ve been managing it. Investing in Aurora Studio was just part of it, I’m merely returning it to its rightful owner."

Bai Qing can manage game projects well, he certainly doesn’t mind yielding control.

As long as he can allocate the money, it doesn’t necessarily have to be under his name.

After all, Aurora Studio is just a small project, he has three main projects to work on seriously.

Extreme Shadow Cars, Green Water Group, Mouyu Live Stream.

Bai Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Honey, is this your breakup fee for me?"

Even though Li Yang had a good excuse, Bai Qing didn’t really believe that Chen Peipei could leave her so much money.

Aurora Studio, no matter how you look at it, received three to four billion in investment. Chen Peipei might not have that much money.

If it’s breakup money, she’ll take it, cash it in when she gets a chance, and save it for the kids.
