Marvel Rivals, a new free-to-play hero shooter by NetEase Games, has implemented strict anti-cheat measures that include issuing lengthy bans for cheaters. Recently, a player received a 100-year ban, highlighting the game's commitment to maintaining fair play. This approach contrasts with Call of Duty's current anti-cheat system, which has faced criticism for being ineffective. Players have reported ongoing issues with hackers in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, prompting discussions about the need for stronger measures. Marvel Rivals' success in deterring cheaters has drawn attention from the gaming community. The game's effective reporting and banning system may serve as a model for other developers facing similar challenges with cheating.
