Which contradicts his position that cheating is a massive huge front to wage an endless war on. 13 people is a ban list, not a cry for rootkits on all clients. It stands to reason that if Linux was 0.01% and even if they were all cheating, it is not a massive problem. Is it tiny or is it massive? It can't be both at the same time.
Every extra cheater is a bad thing.
Do you think a player would care they only make up x% of the playerbase when they get insta killed through walls and lose all their resources by someone in god mode?
No, they wouldn't care. It's a mild annoyance at worst. Nothing critical was lost. Maybe stop putting money into digital goods that have no tangible value and zero guarantee of property.
Of course any one cheater is bad. But this is a massively successful game studio complaining about cheating when they admit to not putting any resources towards creating a team to combat cheating.
