In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One), a senior employee of Bluehole is alleged to have colluded with cheaters and cheat developers. As a double agent, he is said to have sold company secrets. But the evidence is scant!
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has long had a major problem with cheaters. Especially a large number of the fraudsters are said to come from China and ruin the fun for everyone else. Therefore, the developer Bluehole is constantly fighting against cheaters and cheat developers.
It’s frustrating when supposedly the own executives are collaborating with the “enemy”!
Collaboration with the enemy?
According to rumors on Reddit, a senior Bluehole employee from China is said to have actively collaborated with cheat developers and a cheat streamer. He is said to have shared code from the game and played a significant role in the development of cheats.
Reddit then saw a surge of rumors. Many Reddit users were by no means surprised and seemed to expect anything from Bluehole. Various streamers from China and Russia presented supposed “evidence” in videos. Additionally, the alleged rogue has also reportedly been fired.
What really happened?
Meanwhile, Andro Dars, the community manager of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, has made a statement on Reddit. In his statement, he said that there is indeed a suspicion of such collaboration with cheaters.
However, the employee in question is indeed part of the China team, but not the boss there. Furthermore, he does not have access to the game code. And he has also not been fired. Apparently, there is (still) not enough evidence to prove any wrongdoing on his part.
However, they would take the matter seriously and address it. The fight against cheaters is, after all, one of Bluehole’s top priorities.
It remains to be seen whether there actually was collaboration with cheaters and who is really behind it.
Currently, there is an exploit in PUBG that makes you invulnerable to the blue death zone.
