Kakao Games, the developers of Black Desert, declare war on bot sellers. They are expected to not only cease their operations but also hand over the names of the buyers.
Massive demands against the bot manufacturer
The fight against botters, cheaters, and fraudsters continues in Black Desert. A particularly intimidating example is now planned to be made of the programmer of the botting software “Pys”. Developer J. Bosch has been embroiled in a court case by Kakao Games Europe (formerly “Daum”, renamed). The demands from Kakao Games are quite hefty. The operator is to not only immediately cease their website and thus the service but also pay €500 for every bot sold. Furthermore, Daum wants the data of all buyers – presumably to permanently close the associated Black Desert game accounts.
In response, the subscription service of “Pys” has been suspended, at least temporarily.
Mr. Bosch, however, does not seem to be entirely discouraged by this, as he claims to already be working “on something new” – whether it is legal software remains to be seen.
Mein-MMO states: Whether Kakao Games has any chance with these demands is, of course, not yet decided. At least the disclosure of the buyer list could prove to be quite difficult due to data protection reasons. Since the demands seem so exaggerated, fans also suspect that they simply wanted to make a big PR splash to generate some attention, following the motto “Look here, we are doing something!” If this actually makes the botters disappear… good. But that remains to be seen.
