So how does Punkbuster discern between Gamehack and Malware of a similar pattern? Is it true that malware on an unknowing victim might have triggered this ban? If the malware triggered this BAN, are the victims collateral damage? What would be the purpose of banning players consistently for "unknown reasons" unless this is a way to cause further sales. Considering this is not a hardware ban anymore and people have to go out and completely redo their origin accounts...i.e. buy all games a second time with a new account...Wouldn't it be proper to say that there is likely a stacking of profits here rather than a legit Game-Hack?
Most if not all of the individuals that have been banned for this Game hack are claiming they had CE installed but not running. What kind of spyware does Punkbuster get to use to "ban" legit players?
Your links...here & here.
Do not show anything pertaining to helpful information regarding TOS for Punkbuster. The only thing I found was for servers. TOS http://www.evenbalance.com/regname.php
You've also stated that these players should be aware of what is a "cheat" or "game-hack" before playing a game, but in actuality they wouldn't ever know because there is no information regarding either on the web, including this "Game-Hack 81518"..
Sad to see any of this happening in a place for information. The problem of cheating its bearable against not being able to play with your friends because they have been banned with out representation or resolution.
