    It’s a co-op PvE game I don’t understand why cheating is such a concern that we need to allow malware to fight it.

      Because cheating the progression could affect the monetization.

      If I blitz through the game and unlock everything with cheats, I’m much less likely to stick around and spend on the premium armor and battle passes. The point of the daily orders and slow progression is to make the game a habit, which increases the likelihood that someone will spend by increasing the number of chances they have to do so.

      Cheating completely ruined my Red Dead Redemption 2 Online experience. Cheating there was so bad that people would just move everyone on the server to a single location then spawn hundreds of cougars on top of them. You’d just be riding around doing missions minding your own business, then BAM! Mountain of cougars on top of you. It was constant for a couple weeks, so I just stopped.

      I guess my point is that even if there’s no incentive to cheat in a co-op game, people will anyway because they’re dickheads.
